Last year, I released a few pieces that incorporated calligraphy of an Arabic love poem by Mahmoud Darwish, a revolutionary Palestinian poet.
100% of the proceeds made from the Love Language pieces will be donated to disaster relief organizations providing aid to Palestinians.
Last year I discovered one of my favorite Arabic love poems. I spent the next year trying to figure out how to incorporate it into clothing somehow. Now that it’s done, I feel like I completed a journey not just a collection.
Once the tulle was embroidered, I started having fun and using it in any design I could think of. A lot of them looked great honestly, but I ended up going with this robe and slip dress for the first wave.
I wanted the design, when worn, to look like it was directly on the skin, so I chose to embroider the calligraphy onto a fabric called invisible tulle. The photo on the right is the first sample.
My name is Iman and I’m a Black female lingerie designer based in Los Angeles. I design and make everything locally + ethically. My first collection uses custom solid gold pieces with sapphire gemstones.
P.S. I’m giving away 5 dresses today. Follow my IG for details/to enter.
Feeling really emotional about the support and immense kindness from everyone. Grateful to make something that touches your heart and makes you feel beautiful. Most importantly, I’m grateful to come together to raise money for disaster relief aid to Palestinians.

I made the perfect Valentines Day dress! It’s made out of a natural fiber (4-ply silk crepe), made ethically and locally in Los Angeles, available in two length options and sizes range from XXS to 3X.
Thank you so so much for your support! This dress is available on my site for pre-order. Everything is size inclusive and offered in length options. Made sustainably and ethically in LA. 💗

Wow this was really honest and kind. In my humble opinion, every age, body type and shape is perfect to wear something that makes you feel good. If you decide to get either of the pieces please DM me and let me know before you place the order!
Black children deserve to live without the ceaseless threat of state violence. It’s impossible to contend with the grief of knowing how unprotected and unsafe Black children are in America.
My little brothers girlfriend texted him a bracelet that she liked that was sold out online. As soon as we finished eating, my brother walked my Dad and I over to a jewelry store and bought the bracelet for his girlfriend.

last week and still think about it. It’s so visceral and perfectly paced without any lulls. I’m so excited to read Okorafor’s other books.
I lost one of the most important people in my life in 2022. I didn’t get the opportunity to process the loss because of how quickly/unexpectedly my company was growing. I’m looking forward to taking a short break in 2023 to contend with the loss, mourn and begin to heal.
Deadlifted 280 today without compromising form. Feeling proud bc I’m fasting for Ramadan so lifting and maintaining strength is *so* difficult right now.

😦 I just fell to the floor. I have so much admiration and respect for you and the work you’ve done to shape the industry. Your support means so much to me!

I’m so inspired by your integrity and the way you protect your spirit. I’ve experienced a lot of racism in the fashion industry and seeing you self advocate and honor your boundaries has been a guiding light for me.

Hey guys! I make these. It’s technically a robe but it can be worn as an abaya. A proper abaya with matte silk and hidden pockets is going to be released soon very soon though. ☺️♥️

The most wonderful thing about weightlifting is that it (the self-talk that occurs just before I lift the barbell, the self talk when I regress etc.) gives me an opportunity to understand my thought patterns and practice being kind/patient with myself.

I’ve wanted to make long sleeve dresses for hijabi Muslimahs and other people who want something more modest for a while. I’ll begin working on a few of those samples this week and I’ll let you know when the first one is available!
Just spent an hour and a half talking to my Pop Pop about some of his experiences as a Black Panther. Feeling very grounded in my history and grateful for my grandparents.
I surprised my grandparents with a very efficient tea steeper and a few loose leaf teas that I knew they’d love. They’re trying it out now and they’re extremely delighted. Highlight of my day!
