Rasta Raeisi

 

My name is Rasta Raeisi born in 1988, and I graduated with a degree in business management, textile industry; and I am an art investigation student. My childhood was loaded with painting and clothing design for my dolls, and the love for designing was cultivated in this period, although I couldn’t develop my abilities academically.

 My enthusiasm for clothing design allowed me to select it as the primary profession. I carried out Iranian national painting due to the inner sense and the subsequent relaxation.

Brocade refers to a gorgeous fabric made of silver and gold thread that dates back to the Sassanid Era. the glory of color, design, and weave bloomed during Safavid Era. Unfortunately, the magnificence of designing brocade was declined in 1883 and weaved in few state and private looms nowadays. Brocade is divided into various categories: satin brocade fabric, Ikat brocade fabric, straw brocade fabric, and…..

 Two persons are required to weave brocade. One navigates the fabric plan, and the other weaves it. The sleeves of the first work are designed according to the Iranian traditional design and brocade.

I was not satisfied with my field of studies s,o I changed my way to centralize the peace offered by art. Art flourishes my soul on various levels despite the business management field.

Unfortunately, the clothes do not demonstrate Iranian cultural identity, and despite the diverse clothing, fast fashion is the pioneer. Although we are pushed to the edge, I try to benefit from my friends’ cooperation and consultation to flourish the Iranian clothing elements..

My designs are feminine clothing such as evening dresses and underwear (notably casual style, retro style, and elegant style).

As a degree holder  in clothing design and management fields, I desire to possess a universal brand to represent the national identity. My significant goal Is weaved by past and future. The fast-fashion market’s dominance ignores and underestimates the creative Iranian designer; however, I set my goal and do my best to fulfill it beyond the limitations. I appreciate Dr. Amir Sharifi and his colleagues for providing an opportunity to display the glory and grandeur of Iranian art to the universe.
