Rahemur Rahman is the designer behind the eponymous brand that is seeking to change the stereotypes of what it means to be “Made in Bangladesh”. By putting equity and sustainability at the forefront, he is actively working to reshape the fashion business model. His journey may have begun on a similar path that many of his predecessors have walked, but Rahman is determined to create an imprint and a legacy that is entirely his own. Born to Bangladeshi immigrants in East London, Rahman has been surrounded by fashion and textile production his whole life. His father worked in a garment factory near Brick Lane, where he became acquainted with British tailoring. Rahman’s mother had a sewing machine at home where she and her husband would make clothes for themselves and their children, often using leftover fabric from the factory. Their community has been involved in Britain’s fashion industry for decades, and yet, Rahman is the first Bangladeshi designer to showcase at London Fashion Week.
