Rahemur Rahman
Rahemur Rahman is a designer, artist, and educator dedicated to creating art that challenges the creative industry's norms while uplifting marginalised communities. With a background in East London, Rahman’s work is shaped by his experiences as a working class British-Bangladeshi, queer Muslim navigating systemic barriers. He is passionate about sustainability, inclusivity, and decolonising fashion, collaborating with artisans in Dhaka, Bangladesh, through Aranya Crafts to elevate subcontinental craftsmanship.
As Joint First Year Leader for the BA Hons Fashion Design pathway at Central Saint Martins, Rahman uses his expertise and his PGCert in Curriculum Design to shape the next generation of creative leaders. His work spans fashion, film, and community-driven art, including notable inclusion in exhibitions such as Fashioning Masculinities at the Victoria and Albert Museum, My Home, Creative Design and Production Lead for My Bari at the Museum of the Home, and Brave New Worlds at Somerset House part of the International Fashion Showcase by the British Council. Rahman has been nominated for the Changemaker Prize by the British Fashion Council and presented his fashion collections at London Fashion Week.
Rahman’s approach is deeply rooted in social justice, working to close the gap in creative career access for young people and women from marginalised communities. His art and fashion are about more than aesthetics—they are a call for change and a reminder that the fight for a just world is ongoing.
