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.

"Who am I" is one of my projects during my second year BA Fashion Design. In this project, I explored and drew inspirations from many aspects of my identity, my interests, my values and my culture as well as own drawings and photographs to come up with interesting and playful knit and textiles designs. As a queer person, I am interested in breaking the "rules" of gender binary especially in fashion and explore fun, colourful and genderless clothes and this collection is all about that. "Who am I" incorporates my fun and colourful personality and aims to break boundaries in fashion. Sustainability was the core of the design process. All the materials used in the samples, are either second hand, dead stock or biodegradable and eco-friendly and all panels are fully fashioned meaning zero waste production.
