Summary
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. His 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 experience full of furniture and decoration signifying cultural displacement. Exhibition: Ikon Gallery, Birmingham, UK (06.-29.06.2018).
