Indian fashion designer Harikrishnan Keezhathil Surendran Pillai and his brand HARRI present a new collection designed for the Spring/Summer 2024 season dubbed CHAPTER THREE: TEXTURE & MOVEMENT. The capsule celebrates a whimsical universe where the boundaries of latex apparel are pushed in an artful and dynamic way. The seasonal look features sculptural fashion and gives fans an enhanced look at the apparel which is inspired by the bulbous works of Isamu Noguchi Peter Shelton.
HARRI spoke to Hypebeast about the capsule, stating “For my SS24 collection, I’m inspired by texture and movement, looking at innovative ways in which I can explore this throughout my wearable sculptures. My design language is a journey that is constantly evolving and is informed by sculpture and movement, which I draw in and out of my signature wearables and garment designs. We also have some exciting collaborations coming up next season outside of arts & culture."
