Arefeh Mansouri

Fashion designer

Unique style and elegance crafted to complement a woman's form. International Fashion Designer, Arefeh Mansouri, does not just focus on designing a pretty dress. Her focus revolves around designing gowns that complement a particular body type. Her interest in fashion began at a very early age. Imagine, a four year old girl designing and sewing a dress for her Barbie dolls with bits and pieces of material that she found in her mother's sewing room. That's when Arefeh Mansouri found her love and passion for fashion design >>> arefehfashion.com

Hi! Comments,

    It is not easy to be a sucessful designer.......before becoming a famous fashion and bridal gown designer, Vera Wang's parents invested 1-2 million on her........yes, there are some successful ones......but many are struggling.......like Tala Raasi declared bankruptcies twice in 10 years......

At the same time, I hope this lady can make it big......apparently she wanted to pursue her dream and do the stuff she likes!

What percentage of world populations are Iranians?  Why should I compare myself with such a small fraction?  However, I know that I am not going to be a desinger.  I changed my career since I was 7:)

Concordia University is known as UCLA of Canada.  I have no reason, but I know people are not confidence on making these two choices for undergraduate study.  Why is that?  Nothing seems easy in here.

OK.  I just remembered that I didn't finish one of my doll's clothing when I was 6.  OMG.  I have to go and finish it:)  Mom, could you please mail me.....

Here is the anecdote from her website:

"However, since fashion design was not recognized as a valid career path by her parents, she gave up her dream and for a short while tried her hand at science and mathematics (Concordia University in Montreal). She excelled, but something was missing. She longed for the creative process she was accustomed to. She missed the way she could affect someone's confidence, outlook, and self esteem by creating attire that gave an individual a sense of class and sophistication. She missed her true passion."

***********************************

"Believe me; though I am a man, I used to make the best clothing for my Barbie dolls when I was 3-7 years old.  Oh, gosh, I could have been a designer as well.  I will try when I am retired. "

LOL! LOL! OMG! Thank you, Comments, for the laugh!

I admire all fashion

by comments on

I admire all fashion designers maybe because I have seen only a few of the Iranian desingers.  It's so funny how people relate their adulthood career to their childhood.  I have related too, and I used to use in my job interviews:)  Now I really believe that my career started when I was 4 years old.

Believe me; though I am a man, I used to make the best clothing for my Barbie dolls when I was 3-7 years old.  Oh, gosh, I could have been a designer as well.  I will try when I am retired.
