New York Fashion Week ended on Thursday but we’ve still got a couple shows left to recap. And when the shows are as bold and exciting as Rad Hourani’s show at Milk Studios the other day, well, you can’t help but want to read — and write — all about it.

The Montreal-based Hourani has become of the buzziest designers in recent weeks, thanks to hisTommy Ton-shot lookbook and his new collection for spring/summer, which featured plenty of hard-hitting, androgynous looks in an almost completely black and white palette. Equal parts space-age and medieval age, the garments also drew inspiration from metal rock, goth and even ballet, resulting in a collection that Hourani called “asexual” and “aseasonal.”

Models clomped down the runway in embellished motorcycle jackets, draped blouses and backpack-like capes, paired with shredded leggings, slashed shorts and — for both women AND men — some uncomfortable looking four-inch squared-toe heels (We remarked early on that the male models seemed to be walking gingerly and then had an “Ah Ha..” moment minutes later when we looked down at their shoes). Collars were almost non-existent on many of the garments, while the flaps on the jackets and pullovers were cut large and loose. Zippers and metal chains made hefty accents, to balance the otherwise sheer and flowy fabrics. While it takes a special individual to be able to pull off the complete Hourani look, we hear buyers are already lining up to place their orders on some of the more wearable pieces from the collection.
