About

I’m Aydan Valiyeva, a third-year Fashion Design student at Regent's University London. I specialise in textile manipulation, illustration, and concept development, creating work that is research driven and visually distinctive. My practice focuses on translating personal and cultural stories into tactile, sculptural garments with a clear and refined aesthetic identity.

Nar, meaning pomegranate in Azerbaijani, is a womenswear collection exploring themes of unity, fertility and abundance rooted in Azerbaijani cultural symbolism. Growing up surrounded by pomegranate imagery in the Old City and traditional souvenirs, I developed an early fascination with the fruit and began painting it from a young age.These personal memories inform the narrative of the collection.
