Rad Houranie has a love for the color black and androgynous looking models. Since he rarely uses any hue other than black, he is unable to rely on colors to make his creations appeal to his audiences. His limited color pallet forces him to rely on the originality of his designs. In my opinion, his decision to apply the same color theme to almost all of his designs is a very bold move, as it forces him to work harder to make his designs appealing by other means than color, whereas designers like Diane von Furstenberg, tend to rely more on the color and prints of their materials instead of the design, shape, and silhouette of the actual piece. In a way, this could be considered cheating, but at the same time, using colorful prints and different materials is a form of art and hard work as well.
