With the fashion world forever spinning toward the new and fresh, we turn our attention to a new designer on our horizon. Please pay a warm welcome to Omid Qala-Nawi. After working for a few weeks with Omid, in fashion retail, it became clear to me that Omid’s place was not behind a shop counter. He was destined for bigger and greater things! With an outgoing personality and style that turned heads in the suburb of Eppendorf, Omid was his fashion personified.
Based in Hamburg, Omid has finished his degree at the prestigious JAK Akademie. His label is called Artificium and captures the energy that he is now well known for in the Hamburg fashion scene. It is punky, androgynous, with careful attention to fabric and cut. It is a label not for the faint–hearted as he is clear to point out. It is through this label that Omid wants to present something new and challenging for the fashionistas.
What sets Artificium’s clothing apart from what is now available is the idea of art merging with fashion. While last season, many designers turned to the old masters for inspiration and even great houses like Dior took their collection to a ‘Dali’ extreme, Mr Qala-Nawi is clearly looking at art in the future. Here, it is modern, with a punch indeed.
Plans are in the pipeline for an online store. Focus pieces will be sweaters, shirts and trousers. In the meantime, you can contact Omid, through his Facebook site: https://www.facebook.com/Artificiumdesign?fref=photo
