Rad Hourani Fall 2010 Fashion Show

Runway Review: Rad Hourani has earned a cult-like following thanks to his razor sharp focus and concise direction making his Fall 2010 outing a must-see for the fashion forward downtown set In three short years Canadian based designer Rad Hourani has earned a cult-like following thanks to his razor sharp focus and concise direction making his New York Fashion Week Fall 2010 during outing one of the weeks must-sees for the fashion forward downtown set.
