PARIA /FARZANEHby Paria Farzaneh

The designer Paria Farzaneh has built her brand through a fiercely independent exploration of her Persian heritage.

Since graduating from London's Ravensbourne University in 2016, Paria rapidly gained notoriety within the menswear scene.Paria was selected as the British Fashion Council's NEWGEN "One To Watch" in 2018.
