What makes your style stand out?

My style is avant-garde and poetic, blending raw emotions with sculptural forms. Each look tells a story of duality—strength and fragility, modernity and tradition, silence and sound. I use unconventional materials, bold silhouettes, and cultural narratives to create wearable art that challenges fashion norms while remaining deeply human and intimate.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment is to show that fashion must tell a story. Fast fashion has to end—what we wear should be art, not endless trends. I want my work to keep craftsmanship alive, mixing poetry and darkness, light and shadow, so people can see beauty even in what feels heavy. This is what makes Shiva Soltani unique.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would invest the $20,000 to expand my collection, preserve handmade craftsmanship, and create wearable art that stands against fast fashion.
