Conversations 003: Harikrishnan

Published: Dec. 29, 2020, 5 p.m.

Harikrishnan believes in a new way of seeing. The emerging and experimental designer caused a sensation in February at London Fashion Week when, as one of the 10 graduates of the London College of Fashion, he presented a genderless collection that featured items like inflatable latex pants and artisanally beaded tops. A combination of high tech and traditional techniques that spoke to his fascination with looking at design procedures from new points of view. Harikrishnan has found a way to challenge both himself and the entire industry to rethink our understanding of sartorial norms.
