ABOUT ANAHIT
A Tapestry of Artistry, Vision, and Resilience
Born into a vibrant artistic and musical lineage, Anahit Etemadi's journey is the epitome of the intertwining of passion, talent, and purpose. Her journey as an artist took shape when, at the tender age of four, she created her first portrait, an early sign of her prodigious talents.
With a heart brimming with creativity, Anahit's introduction to fashion design occurred at five. Fascinated by her newly acquired knitting skills, she embarked on crafting her first piece of lingerie. By six, her creative prowess had expanded into a fashion illustration album, showcasing an eclectic mix of casual to haute couture designs.
Her innate talent didn't go unnoticed. During her primary schooling, her exemplary female portraiture caught the eyes of educators, earning her the first of many accolades. The school became a canvas for her artwork, with Anahit being the go-to artist for intricate posters, logos, and wall paintings.
Anahit's commitment to her craft led her to the prestigious AL Zahra University's Fashion and Textile Design program. Her brilliance shone brightly, earning her an honorary diploma and recognition at the esteemed "Museum of Contemporary Art and Fashion" among seasoned designers.
The fusion of art and entrepreneurship defined Anahit's subsequent years. Establishing her own fashion house in Vanak, Tehran, in 1994, she tasted the complex flavors of business – from soaring successes to invaluable lessons from setbacks. This journey spurred her to deepen her understanding of business, leading to certifications and degrees, including an MBA from the globally renowned Hult International Business School.
