DIASPORA: THE ART OF BELONGING

Diaspora: The Art of Belonging

Born to an Iranian family in Germany and now based in London, Regensburger grew up between cultures, always feeling there is no space to belong and fit in.

For years she stayed quiet about where her family came from, fearing it would cost her acceptance. Diaspora is the end of that silence.

The collection takes the clothes she saw growing up in the West and inscribes them with the textures, symbols and craft of the Persian culture she knew through her family: coins, poetry, mirrors, rugs and memories of her childhood.

From grandmother to mother to daughter.

Three generations of women, carrying a culture, a history and a sense of home across borders.

Sarah and her mother are closing her London Fashion Week Show.
