Nasir Mazhar
Milliner Nasir was born in east London; he is of Turkish Cypriot origin.He is best recognized for his inventive approaches to sports caps and head wear, Lady Gaga has worn a few of Nasir Mazhar's hats. He created the hats for the 2012 summer Olympic opening ceremony (the clubbing scene), and launched his first full clothing for men and women in his 2013 collection at London Fashion Week 2012. Mazhar simply sets out with the curiosity of finding an alternative to the existing format of hats. Reflecting his background in theatrical hat making, his designs have drawn upon influences as eclectic as Hip Hop, fetish, the animal kingdom, cartoon, the Far East, Mythology, Sport and Religion, all of which are given a twist of street culture and hyperbole to create fantastical collections of hats. Nazir's favorite collection to date is his SS14 menswear collection, as it’s completely unisex and he's had positive feedback from his female friends who fell in love with the collection. He showcased UK grime artist as models walked around on a set to showcase his designs at LFW 2012. He is back this year on Monday 16th September 2013 at 13:00 in the Topshop show space. I am excited to see what he's got planned for this years show.
