MELISSA: Things are a little different right now, we’re in an unprecedented time. How have you shifted as a business and as an individual to accommodate this new normal?
NAZANIN: I’ve always been a strong believer in quality over quantity. But now more than ever, I think it’s become apparent to all of us that we don’t need to over-consume. Being at home has helped me streamline the way I consume products and where I place my purchasing power.
We have to be aware of our impact on the environment and this is really making headway in the industry at the moment. I want to make women feel confident, comfortable and good about themselves and invest in pieces that can be worn season after season.

MELISSA: Can you tell us about your brand? Why resort wear?
NAZANIN: I’ve always liked the fact that resort wear intimately relates to the fond memories of being on holiday. The pieces are timeless and versatile and can be worn from day to night. Low-key glamour that instantly elevates your look. Focusing on luxury fabrics, delicate and colourful prints with an effortless carefree yet sophisticated aesthetic.
MELISSA: We love how much colour and pattern you use in your designs. What is your process when it comes to choosing colour palettes for your designs?
NAZANIN: It’s very instinctual. I’ve always been drawn to colour and pattern. Nature has a great colour palette as a source of inspiration, from the burnt orange sunsets to the azure blues of the ocean.
