Kurdish-American Designer Lara Dizeyee to Present ‘Milan Enchanted’ Collection at Milan Fashion Week 2025
The show will include a champagne reception for VIP guests, buyers, and international press, offering an immersive storytelling experience that fuses ancient Kurdish traditions with modern glamour.
Currently based between Erbil and the United States, Dizeyee is in the Washington, D.C. area until August 16 and available for interviews in both D.C. and New York City.

“This collection is a love letter to my culture, my people, and to every woman who has ever dared to dream beyond borders,” says Dizeyee. “With Milan Encanted, I wanted to create a world where tradition meets imagination—where every stitch tells a story of resilience, pride, and beauty.”
