A home is not just a physical space, it also has a legal and social dimension. A home provides roots, identity, a sense of belonging and a place of emotional wellbeing. Homelessness is about the loss of these. ‘<br />Extract from <a href="http://www.crisis.org.uk/" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(51,51,51);">www.crisis.org.uk</a></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(153,153,153);font-family:'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;"><a href="http://www.crisis.org.uk/" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(51,51,51);"></a><br />Hussein Chalayan explored the idea of displacement and exclusion in his A/W 2000 collection ‘Afterwords’ which was inspired by memories from his childhood where members of his family were forced to leave their home with only the things they could carry and the clothes on their back. Chalayan, cleverly translated this experience into a story illustrated through fashion.<br />He quotes his work as reflecting “a relationship between rural and urban culture, movements of people and the idea of migration, anthropology, history, cultural prejudice, a relationship with the earth.” He states, “My work is a conversation, a constant state of discourse.”<br />Extract from: <a href="http://designmuseum.org/design/hussein-chalayan" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(51,51,51);">http://designmuseum.org/design/hussein-chalayan</a></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(153,153,153);font-family:'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;"><a href="http://designmuseum.org/design/hussein-chalayan" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(51,51,51);"></a><br />Today homelessness affects tens of thousands of adults in Great Britain, although it is more prevalent in urban centres, especially in London.

A home is not just a physical space, it also has a legal and social dimension. A home provides roots, identity, a sense of belonging and a place of emotional wellbeing. Homelessness is about the loss of these. ‘<br />Extract from <a href="http://www.crisis.org.uk/" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(51,51,51);">www.crisis.org.uk</a></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(153,153,153);font-family:'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;"><a href="http://www.crisis.org.uk/" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(51,51,51);"></a><br />Hussein Chalayan explored the idea of displacement and exclusion in his A/W 2000 collection ‘Afterwords’ which was inspired by memories from his childhood where members of his family were forced to leave their home with only the things they could carry and the clothes on their back. Chalayan, cleverly translated this experience into a story illustrated through fashion.<br />He quotes his work as reflecting “a relationship between rural and urban culture, movements of people and the idea of migration, anthropology, history, cultural prejudice, a relationship with the earth.” He states, “My work is a conversation, a constant state of discourse.”<br />Extract from: <a href="http://designmuseum.org/design/hussein-chalayan" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(51,51,51);">http://designmuseum.org/design/hussein-chalayan</a></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(153,153,153);font-family:'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;"><a href="http://designmuseum.org/design/hussein-chalayan" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(51,51,51);"></a><br />Today homelessness affects tens of thousands of adults in Great Britain, although it is more prevalent in urban centres, especially in London.
