Mariam Nassir Zadeh is a fashion stylist and store owner of the Lower East Side boutique.
Refinery29 - While some of us are desk-bound, content to idle away the work hours pounding a keyboard and an occasional latte, Maryam Nassir Zadeh is style-bound and always on her feet. As a stylist and part-owner of the Lower East Side boutique that bares her name, Maryam's job is to fill her shop with the most discerning and delicately selected pieces she can get her hands on. With the City as her muse, Maryam heads to the galleries, her garden, and late nights at Schiller's for inspiration.
The result is a refreshingly modern yet comfy atmosphere that presents designers like Vena Cava, Rachel Comey, and Harmo alongside a wooden geometric children's puzzle, African indigo textiles, and an ancient art book. More like an experience than a shopping expedition, Maryam Nassir Zadeh evokes a feeling of freshness that no doubt comes from Maryam herself. We recently caught up with Maryam to find out just how she spends her day and why she wouldn't trade her job for any other in the world.
