About
Afghan-American designer, Samira Atash designs two different brands: one, SAMIRA ATASH, is described as when East meets West and is inspired by the Silk Road. Her other brand, It’s A Miracle Contemporary Maternity “offers contemporary for stylish women who don’t want to show too much skin.” Through her lines, she blends her Middle Eastern/Islamic heritage with the Western culture she was raised in.
Her designs have been featured in film and television, including Men in Black II, the upcoming Salt, starring Angelina Jolie, and CNN. Moreover, she has been covered by the Washington Post, the Oxygen Network, and National Geographic.
A two-time nominee for Fashion Group International’s Rising Star Award, Atash is also the creator-producer-host of Beauty and the East TV, a video blog which features Muslim/Middle Eastern musicians. Atash has further forayed into film and television through her role in FireDancer, the first Afghan film to be submitted for an Academy Award and the Tribeca Film Festival.
