Jehan Vazifdar
Collection BFA
ANGLO SAXON PERSIAN GARDEN
A collection based on the genisis of Zoroastrian dress, this collection borrows historic garment details and sihlouettes and injects them with modern, bold, queer imagery.
Colors from illustrated manuscripts from the Shahnameh appear in tones of sea green, aubergine and teracotta. A line Mughal hunting coats form the base of the tailoring, a genderless sihlouette that flatters without gendered waists or darting.

A heavy top and light pjama bottom (a Kurta Pajama) is reinterpreted in a spiralling trenchcoat and panelled green evening coat paired with vibrant, bicolor flared pajamas by way of Jimi Hendrix.
Gradients and metamorphic details signal change and evolution. Quilted flourishes and back ties are adaptable to the wearer's body.
