Kamal al-Din Behzad
A Conceptual Fashion Design Project

Kamal al-Din Behzad, the greatest Iranian miniaturist, created a world of colors and stories with his magical brush. In each work, he not only depicted nature and humanity but also immortalized the spirit of Iranian culture and art in every line and dot. This exhibition is a tribute to this unparalleled artist and an attempt to revive his art in a new form: fabric and clothing.
From Miniature to Fabric: Design Process
- Inspiration from Paintings: Designs of flowers and birds, paradisiacal gardens, and the delicate faces from Behzad's works have been transformed into fabric patterns.
- Natural Colors: Using colors that Behzad employed in his works: turquoise, lapis lazuli, saffron, and the greens of gardens.
- Modern Techniques: Digital printing and hand-stitching to preserve authenticity and add a contemporary feel.
Kamal al-Din Behzad's Mausoleum: The Exhibition Stage This exhibition was held at Kamal al-Din Behzad's Mausoleum in Tabriz, where the artist's spirit flows through every corner.
- Historical Atmosphere: The old walls and traditional architecture complemented the modern clothes inspired by Behzad.
The Exhibition's Message: Art Knows No Boundaries This project has proven that authentic Iranian art can not only reside in museums but can also flow through everyday life and even on our bodies. Each garment tells a story of love for art and the effort to keep cultural heritage alive.
