"Reimagine 75: Fashion with a cause" Designer
WHO: MAANG by Yasi Fayal, owner and fashion designer. I am an Iranian-American fashion designer, splitting my time between Tehran, Milan, and St. Louis. My passion for art and fashion led me to Italy in 2012, when I completed a master’s degree in fashion design at the Academy of Fine Arts of Brera in Milan and trained in women’s wear design at Istituto di Moda Burgo. I’ve shown my collections at fashion shows in Milan, St. Louis, Kansas City, and Omaha.
STYLE: My designs are often based on geometric forms. I try to keep a balanced mix of oriental tradition with contemporary styles. Each of my collections is designed around a theme and a specific conceptual influence. Each of my collections have a message at their heart to convey to the audience.
INSPIRATIONS: My inspirations come from different sources: sometimes my surroundings and the society I live in, sometimes nature and my dreams. I am attentive to women’s issues, including their challenges and emotions. One of the common characteristics I like to incorporate in many of my collections is the use of shapes and volume.
CHANNELING: The culture of 1975.
