RAD by Rad Hourani F/W 2012
RAD by Rad Hourani F/W 2012 perpetuates this self described anti-conformist’s sensibility. He is definitely consistent, taking the S/S 2012 unisex theme to an even more extreme here. This time, although all the looks are unisex, they are super wearable with the Rad Hourani signature silhouettes,
