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.

This is a capsule project from my 3rd year BA Fashion Design course. I was mainly inspired by bedrooms and looked at different elements of them; such as bedsheets, sleeping positions, objects in one's bedroom, comfort, clutter, etc. My trips to the Weird Sensation Feels Good: The world of ASMR exhibition, as well as the Strange Clay exhibition, were also extremely inspiring when it came to sensory aspects, textures and colour of the garments. The look I created for this project consists of an oversized jumper and a knitted tabard; both are extremely textured and sensory. The jumper is knitted on a domestic knitting machine and the tabard on a Shima Seiki digital machine.
