Tahir Sultan
What's a former intern to John Galliano got to do with the audacity of having a personality? Let's start by saying that he himself is bold and mythical. He always demands attention, and his creations do exactly the same. He graduated Central Saint Martins with a degree in fashion knits, but that's not really relevant. He loves forms and shapes, as he lovingly spends lots of time perfecting them in his designs. But that's also easy to spot. No, what's interesting is that you need to wear your personality. That's Sultan's philosophy – if you wear your personality you're going to get noticed. For him, that's the magic in his designs. For people to get noticed, to become carriers of a message that needs decoding by struggling to find a rationale to what was just witnessed.
And if you add his slight conservatism, due to his half Indian, half Kuwaiti roots, you've got the recipe for the perfect fusion between East and West. Not only does Sultan empower the wearer of his designs, he also rubs some of his personality on them.
You're not buying designs. You're becoming complete.
