Hussein Chalayan was born in Nicosia in 1970 and graduated from the Turkish Maarif College of his hometown. He moved with his family to England in 1978,obtaining British citizenship. He first studied for a National Diploma in fashion and clothing at Warwickshire School of Arts, and proceeded to study Fashion Design. His graduate collection in 1993, titled "The Tangent Flows", contained clothes which he had buried in his back yard and dug up again.An instant sensation, the whole collection was purchased and displayed in luxury designer store Browns, London. As we talked about his in class this skirt is very interesting. It is a table and then turns into  a table.. (Wikapedia)
