Artizara’s founder, Sarah Ansari, has been sewing clothes since she was young. Her mom taught her to make clothes piece by piece, and to have pride in her own skin. Deeply inspired by the rich artistry of cultures influenced by Islam, Sarah recalls looking up at the ceiling in an ancient mosque, enthralled by the interlocking patterns that go on forever. “It’s a metaphor for the universe, how we’re all inter-connected. Life is complex, it’s beautiful, and we’re all in this together.” This is at the heart of why she started Artizara: to share a story of human connection through witnessing beauty. For Artizara, fashion is more than just a choice of clothing. It’s a lifestyle, inspired by the beauty of their heritage.
