Meet
Shirin.

A bridal designer shaped by a lifelong love of art, the craft of dressmaking and the joy of creating something deeply personal.

Creativitywas part ofeveryday life.

Shirin grew up beside her mother, watching her create custom-made garments and learning how ideas become something that can be worn and treasured.

Painting, drawing, designing and sewing surrounded her from an early age. As her passion grew, she chose to make creativity her profession and spent six years studying fashion at university.

“I was always surrounded by art—from painting and drawing to designing and sewing.”
06 Years studying fashion
at university
11 Years with established bridal
brands after moving abroad

Experience shaped
by making.

For many years, Shirin worked professionally alongside her mother. After moving abroad, she spent eleven years working with established bridal brands, designing gowns and creating custom-made dresses for clients.

Those eleven years added to the experience she had already built. Throughout it all, the most rewarding moment remained the same: seeing someone happy in a dress she had created especially for them.

A dream,
realised.

Shirin had always dreamed that, wherever in the world life took her, she would have a brand of her own by the age of forty. SHIRIN Atelier is the realisation of that promise.

Today, she brings her knowledge and experience to every appointment, creating a space where each bride can be heard, explore her ideas and discover a gown that feels entirely her own.
