THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND HARRI
"What do we call clothes that aren't clothes as we know them?"
The work of HARRI is impossible to place within conventions. Striving for an ideal that is playful, expressive and roving, think of a hand-carved children's toy on the verge of toppling over before it sways back into balance.
HARRI's academic journey at India's National Institute of Fashion Technology was not limited to the boundaries of fashion. Simultaneously training to become a bodybuilder, it became a fascination. The discipline it took to tune the symmetry of the body was therapeutic; it had the same rhythm as creating a fashion collection with its months of shaping, bulking and cutting. A graceful, elegant process. The body as material.
Fashion stands as a synonym for non-conformity. Being audacious and idiosyncratic is inherent to the industry. The work primarily explores, investigates and thrives on being inclusive of various crafts and art forms of the world. From using a century-old art of woodturning from India to crafting with the highest quality latex from Sri Lanka to tailoring the finest wool from Scotland, HARRI believes that stitching the diverse fragments of human significance through the lens of culture, craftsmanship and community is a starting point for a world without boundaries.
The Craft: Working by Hand
Working by hand is HARRI's most sacred practice, seeking solace in its calming and therapeutic process. Each piece is entirely assembled by hand, constructed to the model, taking inspiration from their distinctive aura and physique. It is a process that celebrates the power of uniqueness while transforming them into powerful characters. "You can't have machines working on latex. You have to cut it and glue it by hand. Like clay is to a sculptor, latex is for us." Movement embeds itself into the individual seams, cuts and patterns. Crafted across continents, inspired by craft, finding its home in London.
From Kerala to London: A Cultural Journey
From the earliest exposure to human anatomy in a book given by his father in Kerala, India, to graduating with a Menswear MA from London College of Fashion in 2020, HARRI's journey bridges centuries of tradition with radical innovation. The 2020 graduate collection "Let's Put Him in a Vase" quickly became an internet sensation, establishing HARRI's signature sculptural inflatable aesthetic that would go on to capture the world's attention. Today, HARRI operates at the intersection of art, performance, and fashion, sculpting minds to become the impossible version of oneself
