Nasir Mazhar

His first collection of hats was shown in 2006, gaining him sponsorship to show at London Fashion Week, through the British Fashion Council and Fashion East. Combining the historical, sculptural and often comical to create arrestingly cinematic visions, Mazhar’s distinct aesthetic soon attracted headwear collaborations with the likes of Viktor & Rolf, Louise Gray, Meadham Kirchhoff, Gareth Pugh, Bernhard Willhelm and Mugler, as well as commissions from recording artists such as FKA Twigs, Madonna and Lady Gaga. In 2013, he launched his first full ready-to-wear range for both men and women. Since then his work has focused on artistic progressions of the tracksuit, and celebrations of youth identity surrounding London’s urban music scenes, with a strong focus on diversity. This is his ENO debut.
