For most women, deciding what to wear is no easy task – not because they are picky, but because an outfit is more than just a set of clothes. For Azhin Gardi, a Kurdish civil engineer, fashion designer, and environmentalist, fashion is a form of non-verbal communication, a way to tell a story.
As a mother and frequent traveler, Gardi often found herself searching for clothing that was elegant yet breathable, stylish yet comfortable, and suitable for all-day wear.
That search often fell short, as she struggled to find clothes that could truly keep up with a woman’s everyday rhythm. That difficulty became the spark behind her fashion brand, Riviera Reverie.
