The design world is abuzz with the captivating vision of London-based latex designer Harri, whose extraordinary work takes centre stage in a recent feature by 10 Magazine. The publication’s Sonya Mazuryk orchestrated a dreamlike and disjointed shoot, transforming the grandeur of iconic London landmarks into a surreal stage for Harri’s distinctive creations. Against backdrops like the London Eye and St. Paul’s Cathedral, velvet-clad models converse with Charlie Chaplin impersonators, and contortionists are seen with latex halos in front of Tower Bridge, all amplified by Mazuryk’s experimental editing.

At the heart of this visual spectacle is Chapter Five, Harri’s SS25 collection, a landmark moment as his first fully latex ready-to-wear collection. Harri’s unwavering commitment to this singular material is profound; and in the article he asserts that this collection is a deliberate choice to “celebrate this one material in all its glory,” resolutely rejecting advice to dilute his vision with other fabrics. For Harri, latex is more than a medium – it’s an obsession, a philosophy that defines his creative identity.
Despite being colour blind, Harri possesses a unique lens through which he perceives the world, drawing profound inspiration from light, shadow, and sculpture. His artistic muse ranges from “sculpture porn” to pots, ceramics, and architecture, translating these forms into a “dialogue” with the latex itself. This laborious process, which involves 100 per cent hand-processing – cutting, gluing, and polishing each piece—underscores a deep reverence for craftsmanship and the material’s inherent integrity.
Harri’s ambition extends beyond artistic expression; he is now firmly focused on accessibility for London creatives, aiming to make his fully ready-to-wear pieces not only wearable but also affordable. Eschewing conventional long-term plans, he builds his brand in “daily blocks,” yet harbours a powerful vision: to cultivate a “cultural powerhouse”. Through the rich tapestry of his work, Harri is quietly but powerfully establishing a formidable presence, where latex is not merely fabric but sculpture, process, and boundless possibility.
