Just Your Style Femininity is embraced Afshin Feiz is a British-born designer who grew up all over the world, including England, Canada, the United States and Paris. He moved to Paris to attend the avant-garde fashion school Studio Bercot and begin developing his craft. The designer's mentors include John Galliano, Christian Lacroix Haute Couture and Thierry Mugler. Feiz has studied and developed his skills at these design houses.

The designer says that his goal is to provide clothing to women who want to be beautiful, feminine and sexy. Above (l-r): 1.
