London-based Lebanese guy Ziad Ghanem's clothes are for the sort of people who love fashion for its "sculptural rhythms" or whatever, not to look cool or rich or piss off their gran or the government, purely because they like having as extreme an aesthetic as possible. We're talking weird shapes that possibly push into the fourth dimension, all kinds of prints all the time, slogans, loads of color, and collections called Masturbazar. Fashion doesn't have to be all political, and anyway a lot of people who like fashion are borderline illiterate, so rather than force Ziad to struggle to answer some boring questions, we figured it'd be a nice idea to have him answer in pictures.
