About Persia

Persia Tatar was born and raised in a small town in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania where her parents exposed her to drawing, painting, and sewing. She began her artistic career at a young age by sewing with her grandmothers- both seamstresses, painting and drawing with her parents- both artists, and designing and constructing clothing for her Barbies and paper dolls. By the time Persia was in middle school she was selling custom made t-shirts to high school friends, local boutiques, and also at a small antique shop she ran with her father.

Persia graduated from MMI Preparatory School in 1998 and went on to graduate from business school at Villanova University in 2001. After college she studied fashion at Parson's School of Design in New York while working with several young designers and interning at W Magazine and Women's Wear Daily.

In 2004, Persia introduced her clothing line in New York City during Olympus Fashion Week. The collection, entitled "Persia", is a women's ready to wear line that invokes a casual glamour. Persia says that she likes the idea of versatile clothing where pieces from the line can fit into anyone's wardrobe and lifestyle.
