<\/a><\/p>\nEnter Rad Hourani. The young Jordanian designer is redefining the essence of fashion by creating a line of haute couture clothing that evades gender. Since launching in Paris in 2007, Rad Hourani\u2019s line has made quite a stir in the fashion world by creating truly beautiful and elegant designs that are truly gender-less.<\/p>\n Instead of thinking about particular bodies, garments, ideas of masculinity or feminity, Hourani emerges from a new generation of artists seeking to break the mold of gender and cultural construction. \u201cI started imagining clothes the same way I started creating images: with a sense of curiosity and innocence driven by no-background background.\u201d<\/p>\n Hourani was deliberate about his choices to evade the classifications required of desingers: \u201cMy clothes\u2026are asexual, aseasonal, they come from no place, no time, no tradition.\u201d Drawing from a palette of monochromatic colors and a range of geometric shapes, Hourani\u2019s designs are both sophisticated yet radical, futuristic yet classical.<\/p>\n The bold move has paid off: Hourani is the first official invited member by La Chambre Syndicale De La Haute Couture in Paris to design and show a unisex haute couture show in fashion history. His show took place during Paris Fashion Week 2012. He has also shown in New York\u2019s 2013 Fashion Week.<\/p>\n Hourani\u2019s remarkable concept also comes in ready to wear line: Rad by Rad Hourani.<\/p>\n In a world where gender division and discrimination is the norm, particularly in the fashion industry, it is incredibly refreshing to see a vision that transcends these increasingly antiquated boundaries.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Check out more at www.radhourani.com<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Related article: Designer Melissa Millan redefines basics with her brand Androgyny<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n It has often been said that \u2018clothes make the man.\u2019 Though perhaps it is not the original intended meaning of the idiom, the phrase carries an insinuation of gender construction: clothing is, for most people, how we define and express our gender. The fashion world is of course deeply divided between men\u2019s and women\u2019s fashion,\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2174,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[10],"tags":[51,177,231,197,233,134,232,175,230],"yst_prominent_words":[3327,3320,3252,3324,2196,3316,3250,3322,3314,3317,3319,3321,2240,3323,3325,3318,3315,2526,3178,3117],"class_list":["post-2173","post","type-post","status-publish","format-image","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fashion","tag-fashion-2","tag-gender","tag-haute-couture","tag-nyc-fashion","tag-paris-fashion","tag-posture-magazine","tag-rad-hourani","tag-sexuality","tag-unisex","post_format-post-format-image"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/posturemag.com\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Rad_Feature_1.jpg?fit=1920%2C1260","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6QBV8-z3","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/posturemag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2173","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/posturemag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/posturemag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/posturemag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/posturemag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2173"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/posturemag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2173\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12106,"href":"http:\/\/posturemag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2173\/revisions\/12106"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/posturemag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2174"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/posturemag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/posturemag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2173"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/posturemag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2173"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/posturemag.com\/online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=2173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
