The Chalayan Fall collection for 2014 celebrates dramatically draped silhouettes. The womenswear range is designed by Hussein Chalayan who plays with proportion and shape when creating the range. His latest collection looks to architecture for its inspiration and finds beauty in an unexpected place, the decaying process.
Inspired by crumbling drywall, the Chalayan Fall collection for 2014 is the epitome of eccentric elegance. The collection's most memorable pieces are its layered leather jackets and dramatically draped tops that are showcased alongside loose-fitting and flirty dresses.
This chic womenswear range marries edgy and sharp elements with loose-fitting and comfortable silhouettes. This layered and draped collection is powerful, dynamic and most importantly reflective of its designer's style sense.
