For Fall/Winter 2009 I'm looking to make my wardrobe much more darker and sinister than it has been in the past. And this time, I know who I'll turn to to help me out. The recent revival of the eighties has introduced more leather and studs to runway collections than ever before, but I find it more interesting when designers put a fresh, modern take on the decades past. Rad Hourani is an emerging Canadian designer (based in New York and Paris) who has released three collections, each gaining buzz in the elite fashion crowd. The former stylist from Montreal launched his unisex line three years ago.
"I want to design clothes that can be worn anywhere , by anyone, any time". Its true that his clothes are street ready, with monochromatic collections of grey black and blue, and the architectural layering screams New York.
There's something about the way that Hourani combines leather, rips and combat boots that hints back at the 80's decade of hard rock and metal, but his intricate layering techniques and minimalist approach make him one of the most progressive designers to show in New York Fashion Week.
