Swapping floaty feminine gowns for brightly hued bomber jackets and achingly cool Bermuda shorts

Hussein Bazaza’s brightly hued bomber jackets and achingly cool Bermuda shorts are far from the floaty feminine dresses we’ve come to expect from the Lebanese designer who trained under Maison Rabih Kayrouz and Elie Saab — but if you take a closer look into the archives, you’ll notice that Bazaza has always had a thing for statement structured jackets and edgy causalwear.

Now, the designer has launched an online platform dedicated solely to the streetwear styles he loves, with an e-store experience boasting exclusive slogan T-shirts and artistic bombers that are too cool for most, yet accessible for all. Here, the designer tells MOJEH about the new venture.

Talk us through your approach to sustainability?

Which bomber jacket print would you wear and why?

All of them! I really wanted to create pieces that people would see and would need to have, so I always kept that “I want this now” consumer mindset while creating each one. But if I had to pick, I would personally swerve toward the black ones as that’s just basic me. But they are all a piece of artwork.
