Fashion was a part of Farah since she was a young girl flipping through magazines and stopping on pages that featured the timelessly glamorous work of designers. She began designing her mother’s and sister’s wardrobes before she even had the basic skills of sketching or draping. She would bring her vision to the local dressmaker and, through detailed descriptions, guide her to make a sketch and select the fabrics. How the dress looked, how it felt, how it draped on a woman’s body, how it moved when she walked…these were the things she was already considering as she ushered her creations through stages of approval that were clear indicators of a future in haute couture.Farah took up the formal study of the elements of fashion design and haute couture technique at the Central School of Fashion in London, from which she graduated in 1992. There, while studying draping techniques she learned about the luminaries’ work of couture, like Madame Grès, who dressed royalty and Hollywood’s most glamorous stars and whose obsession with elegance once led her to use over 100 meters of cloth in a single dress! Farah was also able to learn more about the techniques used by her hero Valentino and his mentor, the famed Jean Desses
