bringing the azaadi collection to life
azaadi TEES
To kick off this spring we’ve crafted cozy casuals to celebrate womxn and show off to your significant queer. By eclectically representing Persian, Middle Eastern, and South Asian womxn through the Azaadi resistance, this series is inspired by romantic moments censored from our histories— reclaiming and empowering all forms of love in the now.
azaadi for them
The AZAADI for Them shirt is a tapestry of resistance and beauty, weaving together Bangladeshi Nakshi Kantha, Palestinian Tatreez, and Mexican Huichol embroidery— each stitch honoring ancestral craftsmanship and survival. At its heart is artwork by a trans Iranian artist whose bold re-imagining of Persian miniatures queers tradition and defies patriarchy. Their work reclaims erased histories of feminist and queer existence, transforming censored images into portraits of collective joy, rebellion, and freedom. Together, the textile traditions and visual art form a unified language—one that speaks of shared struggle across borders, of gender defiance, of cultural pride. This shirt is not just worn; it’s carried as a declaration of AZAADI— freedom for all.

From the Artist
“These images are created from 19th century Persian miniature drawings for the Sanskrit text, “Lizzat Al-Nisam” translating to “Pleasures of Women.” This manuscript is currently available in the UK but is banned in Iran. The manuscript excludes any imagery of queer couples, either due to erasure or historic censorship. Using digital image alteration, this series ‘queers’ heterosexual imagery to portray lesbian relationships instead. By removing heterosexuality from these paintings and placing women together in sexual and romantic settings, this portrait reclaims how queerness has always existed in Iran— and will continue to exist. This could be seen as a symbol of rebellion against the patriarchy, embedded in Iranian women’s continuous fight for freedom, or in Farsi, ‘AZAADI.’”
