About
I am an eclectic and detail-driven fashion designer with an eye for colour, silhouette and texture. I specialise in knitwear but am enthusiastic and experienced with woven fabrics as well. Being a queer artist from Iran, I have always found my heritage and community inspiring and am determined to add whimsical story-telling elements to my work.
'The Flow of Memories' is a diffusion line I designed for the brand, Christopher Kane as part of my second year BA Fashion Design course. Main concept for this project came from the feeling of nostalgia and homesick-ness I have felt over the last year; I used satellite pictures of my hometown to inspire me with details, shapes, colours, silhouette, etc. The main focus of the satellite pictures was the main river that runs through my city and has been the home of many of my memories from back home. The swirly and wavy path of the river, inspired with tubular and swirly details in my collection. Besides that, I created plenty of artwork from primary imagery to draw details and textures from and then created many knit manipulation samples; which I then moved forward to standwork on my body and then collages, which I then refined and created the final garments of the collection. I am so proud of this project because I carried the whole project out whilst being in lockdown and having no access to facilities, have sparked creativity and imagination that granted me a First for this project and amazing feedback from tutors regarding my innovative ideas.
