About
Parichehr Karimi is an Iranian multidisciplinary artist based in London. She was graduated with a first class in fashion BA from Kingston University in 2023. She holds a BA in graphic design from her home country where she benefited from and inspired her journey of fashion design through fashion promotion and communication.
We build our own house, is a project about my lived experience as a woman growing up in a male-dominated society in my home country, Iran, and all the challenges I had to face, to fight for my rights. This battle for me, was about wearing a mask of roughness to hide my delicacy to survive the patriarchal environment. To illustrate this, I drew inspiration from my childhood memories of playing with building materials while my father and grandfather were working on our unfinished houses. The contrast of the harsh environment and me as a delicate child inspired me to explore this duality further, which I expressed through the choice of fabric, texture and print in my collection.
