In the late 2000s, fashion photographer Mr Mikael Kennedy started selling 100-year-old Persian rugs out of a classic Mercedes, rolling them out on the bonnet of his car in New York City as if it were performance art. “Everyone I knew thought I was insane,” he says. “They were like, ‘What are you doing? You’re a rug dealer now?’

Mr Mikael Kennedy is a fashion photographer turned rug dealer turned fashion designer and now part of our Small World capsule collection
