His signature garment is a blue laced-up dress he designed for the rapper Eve.
His work is “inspired by Arabic and Latino culture” with the latter giving his designs “a slight beauty queen whiff with a rock and roll and mysticism.” He also counts legends like Gianni Versace, Thierry Mugler and Christian Dior as major influences. After moving to Los Angeles in 2015, he began studying fashion design and went on to launch his own company. Owning a clothing store in Venezuela was his first step into the industry, which sparked an interest in making his own clothes. Raised in Venezuela and from a Syrian immigrant household, he was strongly influenced by the women in his family who studied and worked in fashion design. The gown also happens to transform into a bag, underscoring how Megan’s work constantly subverts “expectations of womenswear in a playful way.”Īs long as he can remember, fashion has always been a part of Usama’s world. The look embodies the “ability for fashion to be playful and its power to change your reality” by mixing more traditional elements with an oversized bunny creature. That holds especially true for her signature garment, a piece called the Honey Bunny Dress.
Designing “always felt like a way to escape” her struggles with anxiety and allowed her to “create a space for play and possibility." Megan’s designs “take the nostalgia of early childhood and the ’60s sewing techniques” to “create new exaggerated silhouettes” in womenswear rooted in “humor and fun rather than sophistication.”
The Brooklyn-based creator and Parsons School of Design graduate always gravitated toward “vintage clothes and dressing up” as a kid, when she would deconstruct clothes and experiment with her grandmother’s ’60s patterns. Prioritizing playfulness above everything, you absolutely know when you’ve seen one of Megan’s designs. His current favorite garment is his Utility Grandma Vest because of how it blends “two things that don’t belong together.” The pocket-heavy garment, which James describes as a “fly-fishing vest meets a French Victorian couch,” is function-focused, but fashioned out of a burnt orange velvet upholstery fabric. Ultimately, he’s dedicated to prioritizing his client’s needs to discover what “their suit will communicate to the world on behalf of them,” but never forgetting to strike a “balance of sophistication and fun.” As a former four-sport athlete, the designer pulls inspiration from the “silhouettes, color palettes, construction techniques and practicality” of sportswear to inform his approach to suiting, “marrying dichotomies” of the two with every stitch. But he doesn’t design “your uncle’s obligatory office suits.” Instead, James is focused on crafting suits that “stand for something very, very different” - particularly when it comes to sizing for female, trans and gender nonconforming bodies. Blending his love of athletics and formal wear, James is a master of custom suiting.
