London scene consists of mostly foreigners. We see ourselves as British in many ways, but not English.

More quotes by Hussein Chalayan
I wish we could edit our lives, be more selective with whom we spend time and what we spend our money on. To appreciate more what we all have - we appreciate things more when we lose them.
Hussein Chalayan
It's not always important to do a show, but a live element always works better for me, unless I am making a film that goes beyond the clothes.
Hussein Chalayan
My furniture is banal and my house is pretty empty. The hardest thing to find is a sofa that is comfortable and looks good. The ones I like are never comfortable.
Hussein Chalayan
I have an interest in architecture, although more theoretically than anything else. I think architecture tries to understand what the body wants to occupy, not the body itself.
Hussein Chalayan
I think the experience of feeling isolated, of not fitting in, creates the urge to explore.
Hussein Chalayan
My interest in fashion came from my interest in the body as a central cultural figure, not from admiring other designers - but of course I love Mason Martin Margiela, and I love Sybilla.
Hussein Chalayan
I came to London when I was a year and a half for four years. Since then I have been back and forth. I do mostly feel like a Londoner: I enjoy the Angle-Saxon acceptance of difference and I feel it's more of an integrated society than most places. But this is in London, not the rest of the UK.
