About
I am an experienced fashion student, designer, and founder of Sahra Atelier, with a background that combines creative design, fashion business, branding, and communications. I hold a BFA in Textile Surface Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) and have also completed studies in Fashion Business Essentials at Parsons School of Design, Fashion Advertising at University of the Arts London (UAL), and LVMH certification in Creation & Branding and Retail & Client Experience. I also earned a Marketable Skills Achievement Award in Digital Communications from Houston City College. As I continue to build my new business, Sahra Atelier, focusing on handbags, jewelry, and outerwear, I am also continuing my education to deepen my understanding of the business side of the fashion industry. I am currently enrolled at Houston City College and the Fashion Institute of Technology, pursuing additional associate-level studies in fashion business and management. My goal is to strengthen both my creative and commercial knowledge so I can continue developing Sahra Atelier with a strong foundation in design, branding, merchandising, and business strategy. My work has received international recognition, including Gold at the French Fashion Awards, Gold at the London Design Awards, Gold at the Rome Design Awards, and Platinum at the International Excellence Awards for “Threads of Hope.” I was also named a North America winner of the Global Sustainability Awards, received Second Place in the FGI Dallas Digital Fashion Portfolio competition, had one bag named La Luna Rose handbag accepted into the Accessories Council Design Excellence Awards, and currently I amshortlisted for the Arts Thread Global Creative Graduate Showcase 2026 in Accessories. I don’t believe there is an age limit to pursuing your dreams. I’m proud to have gained experience working with and around respected fashion names such as Ralph Lauren, Oscar de la Renta, and Calvin Klein, and I have also explored entrepreneurship through launching a skincare line and a menswear line. Those experiences helped shape my creative direction, but they also showed me how important the business side of fashion is. That is why I am continuing my education to strengthen my understanding of fashion business, merchandising, branding, and strategy. I’m now very excited to bring everything I’ve learned into the next chapter of my journey with the launch of Sahra Atelier, focusing on sculptural handbags, jewelry, and outerwear.
Concept Description L’Infini is a contemporary wearable sculpture that explores the intersection of jewelry, fashion, and art. Inspired by the fluidity of movement and the elegance of sculptural forms, this statement piece reimagines the traditional necktie as an elongated, twisted gold rope that gracefully extends from the neckline toward the knees. Designed to resemble liquid gold, L’Infini combines dramatic visual impact with softness, flexibility, and comfort. Its organic, asymmetrical silhouette creates a striking statement while allowing the wearer to move naturally. Materials & Construction L’Infini is envisioned using a lightweight, flexible core made from recycled textile fibers, wrapped in metallic gold yarn to create the appearance of a sculpted gold rope. An alternative construction incorporates responsibly sourced silk wrapped around a flexible core for a softer, luxurious finish. The proposed materials include: - Recycled textile fiber core - Metallic gold yarn with recycled fiber content - Responsibly sourced silk (optional) - Recycled brass hardware with gold-tone finishing - Adjustable, detachable fastening components Sustainability & Innovation Sustainability is central to the design philosophy of L’Infini. By exploring recycled textile materials instead of conventional solid-metal construction, the piece aims to reduce material consumption and overall weight while maintaining its sculptural appearance. Its modular construction is designed to allow individual components to be repaired, replaced, or reconfigured, extending the product's potential lifespan. Created as a timeless statement rather than a seasonal accessory, L’Infini encourages versatility, longevity, and conscious consumption. Versatility & Artistic Expression Designed to transcend traditional jewelry, L’Infini can be styled over evening gowns, tailored suits, minimalist dresses, or everyday separates. Its elongated silhouette transforms simple garments into expressive compositions, blurring the boundaries between accessory, garment, and sculpture. Design Philosophy L’Infini celebrates the idea that jewelry can extend beyond adornment to become wearable architecture—where sustainable innovation, artistic expression, and timeless elegance coexist. view my collection on instagram @sahra_atelier_
