A TOAST TO SHIRAZ

"MESHKI started as a tiny Instagram page a creative outlet for Natalie and myself back in 2013, when we were studying architecture at university. We could have never imagined a day we’d be hosting a dinner with so many of the women that inspired us when we started our journey to celebrate a collection that is inspired by our Persian heritage – this is quite literally a dream come true.

Shiraz is so special and so close to our hearts. As an immigrant, and a child of an immigrant from Iran, we know full well that doing what we do today is impossible for so many women in Iran and many other countries around the world.

So we don’t take our freedom granted for a second and have made it our mission as a brand to represent and empower women and we are extremely lucky to have a team that share these values and work so hard everyday to make any difference that we can.

We dream of a day where all women, regardless of where they’re born, have the freedom to pursue their dreams with no limitations.

A day where, all women have the freedom to choose what to wear, who to love, what to believe and what to do with their bodies.

We tried to transport you to Shiraz tonight. I hope you enjoy a taste of our Persian culture that we share with you tonight, put together so beautifully by our amazing team.

We’re truly humbled to be amongst you all."
