Qasimi Man

Name: QASIMI Men
Brand: QASIMI

Founded in 2015 by Khalid al- Qasimi , Qasimi is a London-based brand with hybrid influences. Born in the United Arab Emirates and educated in the United Kingdom, Khalid al- Qasimi was marked during his youth by the conflicts of the Gulf War, as his collections expressed through their subtly military style. Visualizing the body as a landscape to be dressed in shapes and colors, keen to imagine clothes with discreet but strong messages, the brand delivers architectural and urban pieces, made to be worn without moderation. The central nuances are often muted and tellurian and thus recall the native Middle East of the creator and his sister Hoor al- Qasimi , artist and curator of the very renowned Sharjah biennial. The latter took over management of the house after the death of her brother in 2019, keen to perpetuate these shared values and heritage. Always with a desire to peacefully question the world entoure him as Khalid al- Qasimi did in 2017 by highlighting the Black Lives Matter movement or in 2018 by collaborating with the association for child victims of war War Child in particular, the resolutely modern label provides women and men with a comfortable wardrobe with mixed lines, where politics and poetry, activism and sobriety intermingle with fluidity. From oversized dresses to revisited bobs and transparent polo shirts at the crossroads of genres, everything at Qasimi evokes both the human issues of today's world and the artistic and geographical richness of its own history. A house which, although young, has already entered the fashion pantheon.
