>why does his heritage matter? we're looking at the work not genealogy.

Heritage is a huge aspect of any designer and in this case it's especially significant because 1) his designs are so ethnically orientated 2) there's so few people of his background working in avant-garde fashion.

>it's easy to find arabic tailors in bazaars to make a bespoke pair.

I refuse to break down why this is so retarded. Why are you so totally clueless? He cannot produce what a bespoke tailor in the middle east is offering and a bespoke tailor in the middle east cannot produce what he is offering. They are a fucking universe apart. The argument that one exists and therefore that other shouldn't is one of the most flawed arguments in fashion.

>almost all clothing is mass produced in china anyway so it's not really a strong ground to launch a collection because 'shit's made in china'.

But it IS a great reason to launch a collection and is exactly what almost everything is being based on now. Because everything is made in China these days the main selling point of designer and especially avant-garde clothing is precisely that it's NOT made in China. Heritage and Artisanal are the two biggest buzz words in fashion at the moment. This IS the current mode.
