BACKGROUND

CREATIVE DIRECTOR

ALI GHAZIANI

Ali Mokhtarian Ghaziani's journey began in his home country of Iran, a culture that did not exactly encourage artistic freedoms and ambitions. Ali's passion for design, however, was strong enough to defy artistic restrictions, and a budding fashion designer quickly emerged. As a child, Ali sketched clothing designs, eventually leading to the quest to create the perfect leather jacket. He was primarily self-taught, letting his natural talent flow until he came under the tutelage of a master tailor where he further refined his skills. Ali continued to hone his craft with a leather design course at ''Moda Pelle'' in Milan as well as seminars at schools in both Milan and Paris. Ali founded Hirad Leather in 2007 and renamed it to Valerio in 2010. After years of wonderful experiences, establishing a loyal client base, mastering his craft to a fuller extent, Ali decided to partake in a new venture with his only son Hirad and create a new brand under his surname ''Ghaziani''. With that being said, Ali , his son and his team plan to create the ultimate legacy for years to come.
