Celebrating the opening of Dirty Looks, join us for a discussion between designer Hussein Chalayan and curator Karen Van Godtsenhoven.

Hussein Chalayan’s pioneering oeuvre anchors the exhibition’s narrative about the ruin and regeneration in fashion. His buried garments – a practice which began in his Central Saint Martins graduation collection The Tangent Flows (1993) and evolved through later collections – are potent expressions of fashion’s life cycles, representing what he considers a form of ‘future archaeology’
