i know he makes other things, and does other things, but that doesn't preclude him from being a fashion designer, he is a cobbler, a photographer and a filmmaker in addition to being a fashion designer. Gosha Rubchinskiy does art installations, photography, and film, that doesn't mean he isn't a fashion designer as well. same as Jun Takahashi, he's a photographer, a designer, makes music and furniture, etc.
i think i agree with what you're saying - what Harnden is doing is creating an aesthetic universe, like Takahashi does. But does this preclude him from being a fashion designer? i don't think so.
he isn't even necessarily a hobbyist - he might have this devotion to the fox bros mill but he is not merely reproducing old clothes for the sake of it, he's creating new patterns and new clothes. just like his films don't really resemble those during le fin de siècle or even 20 or 30 years down the line, his clothing exists in his own imagined universe, just like that of most designers do.

>HARNDEN IS NOT ANTI FASHION
that is literally my point, nor are they outside fashion
