Description: Championing a sustainable, ethically-produced and gender-neutral approach to fashion design, Rahemur Rahman makes clothes "for the people who dream in colour". We paid a visit to his east-London studio to hear about his influences, inspiration, and to see him craft a tailored jacket and trouser ensemble, with fabric hand-dyed and block-printed by his collaborators in Bangladesh. Originally from Rahemur's 'Children of the Rag Trade' collection, the tailored ensemble has now been acquired by the museum.
