Rad Hourani

The unisex garments created by Rad Hourani seem to distance themselves from the gender conventions so often enforced by the fashion industry. Since 2005, each Rad Hourani collection has been developed in an atelier resembling a laboratory more than a fashion workroom, where the designer is allowed to experiment with shape and innovative materials. In keeping with his contrary position within the fashion industry, Hourani foregoes the biannual fashion calendar in favour of collections presented only with a sequential number.

The installation is made in collaboration with Melissa Matos Andrew Gordon MacPherson.

The art director Melissa Matos is interested in how everyday objects function as forms of expression. She investigates the phenomenon in her work as a curator of installations that bring together diverse disciplines. She also designs for the jewellery brand Powerhaus.

‘Since I was a kid, I‘ve had a recurring dream that I get searched, detained and eventually turned away at the border to Disneyland.’ The Canadian Andrew Gordon MacPherson is a musician as well as an independent producer and director. As a singer-song- writer-DJ, he’s welcomed at every border, even Disneyland’s.
