The Company
Farasha, meaning ‘butterfly’ in Arabic, originated in 2009 as a traveling pop-up boutique in niche resort markets across the United States. Representing more than 100 designers over the years, Farasha’s primary goal was to provide international and emerging designers with access to new and high-end markets.
In the last 5 years, Farasha has gone through a metamorphosis, transforming into a fashion consulting company that offers full production services, professional wardrobe styling, brand consulting and influencer marketing strategy services. We bring together the perfect team to develop and execute a strategic action plan, deliver measurable results and achieve each client's specific fashion and business objectives.
