Zakir Khan is a costume designer and stylist based in London. When he was hired to dress desi uncles in a British feature film, he wanted to push the envelope of what is expected, but the director thought the costume created was too much. In response, together with photographer Jordan Core, he decided to capture South Asian uncles in stylish outfits in their own homes and workplaces. The resulting series, “Uncle’s House,” brings lightness and joy at a time when immigrants are being confronted with increasing hostility.
