#FashionsFutureDesigners interview HARRIS REED for #ODDAdigital

#CentralSaintMartins graduate #HarrisReed learned about the importance of collaboration through experience by completing their final collection amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The designer, who prefers to use nonbinary identifications, has been creating clothing for an audience that “doesn’t exist yet.” Through calling on their friends that were illustrators, animators, and makeup artists, and debuting the collection through Instagram, #Reed’s offering was able to embody the impactful presentation they dreamt of. Through viewing the world the designer’s pieces live in, one is able to see references to previous romantic influences in Reed’s new nonbinary world. You come to know how they may possibly fit it into our present-day lives. The opulence-centered collection—full of sheer, lace, sequins, feathers, and accentuated flare silhouettes on what has been traditionally understood as the masculine body—reinvigorates the role fashion plays in terms of liberating minds from expectations of gender, as well as forming new narratives of self-expression. #CentralSaintMartins
