Fashion is more than just pieces of clothing. At its best, fashion can weave tales and stories of heritage and culture. Syomir Izwa knows this, and explores the boundaries between fashion, art and culture with his pieces. With influences ranging from Persian queens, to Frida Kahlo, to Yoko Ono, he explores controversial figures and issues in his work. Later, Emma Chong-Johnston talks to us about a style trend with a polarizing reputation: the belt bag.
