[NYFW] Day 4: RAD by Rad Hourani Spring 2013 Collection!

It's absolutely no surprise to anyone that one of my favorite designers is Rad Hourani.  He is an absolute visionary and I believe one of the few true artistic geniuses we have alive today in the arena of fashion art.  His silhouettes are futuristic, unisex and structurally stunning.  Lucky for all of us, Rad's Spring 2013 collection definitely did not disappoint.

His choice of a contrasting color palette of a bold deep plum, soft pastel pink, shiny silver and matte black help to enhance the "Neo-esque" influence of this collection.  The heavily slicked back hair, glowingly neutral face make-up lend as great accents to channeling a futuristic matrix vibe.  Rad's vision that is conveyed through his Spring 2013 collection is very clear: Man or Woman, we are all 'The One'.

Oh RAD by Rad Hourani, how I love thee!

The perfect start to my day was receiving my weekly RAD by Rad Hourani email update.  I discovered wonderful news that not only is Rad Hourani designing a special and exclusive collection of 10 unisex pieces that will only be available at Joyce Boutique in Hong Kong but that he will be the first designer to showcase a unisex haute couture collection in the history of  Paris Haute Couture Week this July.

Seriously, where do I even begin.  It's no secret that I have become a huge fan of Rad Hourani since discovering him last year (see post here).  This exclusive collection only to be offered at Joyce, reflect a slick and energetic silhouette that celebrate the 5 years of unisex and design brilliance of Rad Hourani.  Continuing to build on this amazing unisex movement, Rad will be showcasing his exceptional craftsmanship through the fabric three-dimensionally, as an architectural origami canvas.  The unisex reversible and transformable pieces are handcrafted and made with meticulous precision and dedication to Rad's vision: Genderless, Seasonless, and Timeless.  These pieces are destined to be more than garments; a collector's item.

Okay, back to the exclusive collection that will only be available at Joyce Boutique in Hong Kong.

The following are the exclusive 10 unisex pieces that I am ecstatic to check out during my July trip to Hong Kong:

RAD by Rad Hourani I will see you this Fall! xoxo

This cutting edge and fashion forward designer will definitely be missed greatly in a week by none other than, moi (me).  This show was definitely within the 'Top 3' of my must see shows at New York Fashion Week.  Personal obligations are keeping me away from the tents this season but I will definitely see you come this Fall RAD by Rad Hourani!

In the meantime, my new project is trying to figure out how to get my 6'3", 300lb husband to slim down so we can maximize the use of a RAD by Rad Hourani unisex piece...


RAD by Rad Hourani S/S '12 Collection:

Trend of Unisex Clothing is no longer a Trend, it's a Niche

Back in April, I couldn't believe my eyes when pictures surfaced of a Céline-clad Kanye West performing on stage at the hip California music festival Coachella, in a silk blouse from their womenswear collection. Straight out of the uber-luxurious French fashion house's SP/SU 2011 catwalk collection, which is designed by Phoebe Philo, the world-famous rapper donned the silk, printed shirt in earnest, choosing to style it half-unbuttoned and with a thick chain necklace.

Thus began my fascination with Unisex Fashions. One designer who definitely caught my attention is, Rad Hourani. He celebrates that his line functions as a "laboratory, and experiments with new shapes and fabrics in a couture-like approach".  His line "RAD by Rad Hourani" definitely focuses on styles and silhouttes of the same unisex signature look offered in different materials and a more casual transformable fit.
Gender-agnosticism is the defining driving conceptual direction in Rad Hourani's work as all of his products are specifically designed to be unisex.

So, if you are fortunate enough to have a fashion forward mate whom you share the same relative size check out Rad's collection and test drive out this new Fashion Niche for Unisex Clothing!

Here are some of the great looks from the RAD by Rad Hourani Spring/Summer 2011 Runway Show.  Great Monochramatic Palette with definite great clean lines and tailoring.  Such an uber-chic presentation in having both a male and female presenation of the clothing to showcase the Gender-agnosticism that is the defining message behind his clothing.
