I am a luxury womenswear designer with over 12 years of experience developing full collections and bespoke projects for clients. I founded FJK By Farah Kadhimi, an independent label with three complete womenswear collections that have been showcased at London Fashion Week, featured in British Vogue, and worn on the red carpet. I have a strong foundation in couture-level garment construction, conceptual design, and end-to-end collection development. I trained at STF Zürich, Central Saint Martins, and the University of the Arts London, and I am available for freelance, contract, and remote design collaborations. I lead design from concept to production, collaborating with pattern cutters, ateliers, and production partners to create buyer-ready collections and compelling lookbooks.
