The Bold Simplicity of Solouk

In the ever-evolving tapestry of the global fashion industry, it is the stories of groundbreaking designers like Solouk that captivate and inspire. Founded in the heart of Iran in 2015 by the visionary duo Mohi Amirkhani and Yousha Bashir, Solouk has swiftly ascended to the forefront of fashion with its distinctive blend of minimalistic elegance and dynamic energy. Jez Taylor, Creative Makeup Director of Fashion Art Toronto’s encounter with this exceptional brand during their inaugural visit to Canada at Fashion Art Toronto’s F/W 2023 Season was nothing short of serendipitous—a meeting that sparked a collaborative fervor, culminating in a photoshoot that exudes statuesque power and fierce independence.

Drawing from a well of creative passion and a shared aesthetic vision, Amirkhani and Bashir have sculpted a brand that marries the intricate compositions of visual art with the fluidity and form of sartorial expression. Solouk’s signature, characterized by asymmetrical lines, strategic draping, and the use of organic fabrics, captures an essence of timeless beauty that is both visually striking and deeply evocative. This shoot, brought to life by a cadre of Toronto based creatives, is a testament to the brand’s ethos—a celebration of powerful independence and creative community.
