A rising Kurdish fashion designer, Ezhin Gerdi, is making waves in the industry with her brand Riviera Reverie. Based in Dubai, she blends simplicity and elegance to create unique women’s clothing. Her designs cater to modern women who value comfort, style, and sustainability.
Ezhin honed her skills through masterclasses, including one at Oxford University. She draws inspiration from coastal aesthetics, infusing her collections with light, airy fabrics. Additionally, her brand promotes eco-friendly practices by using certified European cotton and viscose.
Moreover, Ezhin collaborates with Alanbery, a renowned Argentinian artist, to incorporate Kurdish motifs into her designs. Each pattern tells a distinct cultural story. She also donates 3% of her profits to charity and plants a tree in Kurdistan for every item sold.
Furthermore, Ezhin’s background in civil engineering influences her structured yet creative approach. She launched Riviera Reverie after a trip to Italy, where the vibrant streets inspired her to pursue fashion.
Her brand targets women who seek effortless sophistication. Ezhin believes fashion transcends language, connecting people through art and design. Currently, she is expanding her presence globally through workshops and collaborations.
