Milano Fashion Institute
I’m Marjan Bakhtiaripuladvand, born in Tehran and based in Milan since 2010. I studied New Technologies for Art at Brera Academy, then deepened my passion for visual storytelling through illustration, collage and fashion. After a short course at NABA, I completed a Fashion Design program at AFOL Moda in 2025. My work blends surrealism, bold volumes and playful irony.
