Qasimi presents the new men’s collection for Fall Winter 2019 in London Fashion Week.
Amidst the current uncertain political and social climate, Qasimi’s urban nomad travels to the near future with a vision of hope within a utopian landscape.
This utopian future vision has been complimented by textiles and cinematic cult sci-fi imagery, allowing the traveller a discovery of his own place and purpose in the universe.
