Beschreibung:
A leading light of London Fashion Week, Osman works at the intersection of art and fashion, combining his multi-disciplinary design practice with a strong sense of social commentary.0His style combines haute couture techniques and fabrics with a clear perception of modernity. Osman?s work has developed from a place where he considered himself to be ?a product of multicultural England? and is shaped by a clear awareness of political contexts.0The installations in the book and exhibition feature imported garments made by low-wage workers for ?fast fashion? in the West. A tent-like structure covered in delicate hand-sewn embroidery, is adjacent to an evocation of an ?immigrant?s bedroom? ? inspired by his Afghan/Pakistani family?s experiences ? full of furniture and decoration signifying cultural displacement.00Exhibition: Ikon Gallery, Birmingham, UK (06.-29.06.2018)
