Our Spring / Summer 2027 Presentation
I began working on this collection during a particularly painful moment for Iranians around the world. As the war began, I found myself thinking about the Iran I had always assumed would be there, the gardens I grew up in, the palaces and homes I had visited, and the art and architecture I had always dreamed of one day showing my friends. I returned to a Qashqai Kilim I had found folded among the thousands of rugs my grandfather brought with him to America in the 1990s. We sent it to Gentili Mosconi in Como, where it was transformed into a woven fabric, and later worked with Marsil in India to reinterpret the same motif as a rough cut embroidery.
The cracked frescoes of Rakib Khan’s Mansion in Isfahan, found through fragments of images on Instagram, were reconstructed as a print. Photographs I had taken of the flowers in my grandfather’s garden in Fasham became another print and a crêpon embroidered with apple green crystals, bugle beads, and sequins, while the extraordinary excess of Qajar court dress became a cropped jacket covered in raw stones, buttons, and found objects. Throughout the collection, memories, photographs, and objects were transformed through craft into something physical again, a way of holding onto the Iran I remember and sharing the beauty of a place that has given me so much.
Feeling overwhelmed with gratitude. Couldn’t do it without my one-of-one team. Thank you thank you thank you. Couldn’t do it without it out you. It’s a celebration for all of us.
Thank you to Casa Valle for being the most amazing hosts.
