While fashion and art share a creative essence, Kadi sees their purposes as distinct. “Fashion operates within constraints—weight, seasons, trends, and functionality—which shape the creative process. Art, on the other hand, is unrestricted. It offers complete freedom to explore ideas and emotions without limitations, making it a different kind of creative and cultural expression.”
This newfound freedom was pivotal for Kadi during a time when fashion no longer felt like an outlet. “Art allowed me to express myself without boundaries. While fashion requires me to think about practicality, timelines, and trends, art was a space where I could purely focus on emotions and imagination. It was liberating to create without any rules or expectations.”
Looking ahead, Kadi is eager to continue exploring the intersection of art and fashion. “Absolutely. This experience has opened new doors for me. I see myself exploring both worlds further, finding new ways to blend art and fashion in ways that challenge and redefine traditional boundaries.”
Stepping into the world of art has been transformative for Kadi, both as a designer and as a creative. “It has completed me. I feel like a whole artist now. I’ve realised that my creativity doesn’t have to be confined to garments; it can extend to walls, furniture, and so much more. This journey has expanded my horizons and made me more fearless as a designer and artist.”
With Highway to Heaven, Rami Kadi has proven that his creative vision knows no bounds, seamlessly weaving fantasy, craftsmanship, and emotion into an extraordinary celebration of art and imagination.
