Self-Isolation Diary: A Day in the Life of Designer Dorian Rahimzadeh

As people around the country enter their sixth week of self-isolation, FASHION is reaching out to some of our favourite Canadians to get a peek into how they’re living their lives in lockdown (remember: #StayHomeSaveLives). Each week, keep an eye out for new self-isolation diaries from actors, designers, athletes and artists who are riding this uncertain time out with us.

Dorian Rahimzadeh, founder and creative director, Dorian Who

I am lucky enough to have my little studio where I am able to keep busy, work alone and self-isolate. Recently, I have started making upcycled masks with the leftover fabric I’ve been saving in my studio. At the beginning of March, I was working on a new collection and filling orders with the help of my interns. But since the outbreak, like every other business, I’ve had to send my team home to self-isolate. So, I was forced to once again start doing everything on my own. Though it’s a lot of work, I’m quite comfortable working by myself. I enjoy spending time alone but this situation has made me re-think so many aspects of my day-to-day life and has helped me learn to better balance life and work. This ‘pause’ has allowed me to reconsider so many things and shown me how to better appreciate and take in small moments.

For me, the hardest part is not being able to see and hug my loved ones, or do normal outdoor activities but I am doing my best to stay positive. To keep a positive mindset I work out every morning for about an hour and a half with my jump rope and TRX. After my workout, I pack breakfast/lunch. Usually oatmeal, a smoothie and a ginger shot!

I begin my workday by responding to e-mails, then I start on making masks and orders. The cotton masks I make are being made out of fabric scraps and are non-medical, washable masks meant only for running errands like grocery shopping. I have also started to make non-filtered surgical masks to donate to local Toronto healthcare workers. Every bit of help, no matter how big or small, counts and is very important! We are all in this together.

Making NON-MEDICAL masks from my fabric scraps all day for your grocery shopping! You still need to stay home and wash your hands and not touch your face and masks! Wash your masks after every use! Simple masks can be used by non-essential healthcare staff, and other essential services such as grocery clerks, delivery, fulfillment…etc. who are exposed to relatively dangerous situations. This way, remaining medical grade masks can be reserved for people in the most severe situations, such as doctors and nurses. I also found this article from CTVnews: https://www.google.ca/amp/s/beta.ctvnews.ca/national/2020/3/24/1_4865858.html These types of face masks aren’t considered as protective as the more in-demand N-95 respirators, which fit closely to the face and can filter out 95 per cent of very small airborne particles, including viruses and bacteria. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends these masks, or masks of an equivalent standard, for health-care workers caring for COVID-19 patients. Are homemade masks effective? While Dr. Abdu Sharkavi doesn’t recommend them for doctors and nurses working directly with COVID-19 patients Dr. Abdu Sharkavi said homemade face masks can offer some protection against the virus. He said homemade face masks can be made using cotton or even an anti-microbial pillowcase. Sharkawy stressed that people shouldn’t consider wearing a homemade face mask as a substitute for regularly washing their hands and other preventative measures, such as physical distancing and not touching their face. Special thanks for @bof for letting us get access to BOF for $1 this month! . . . #toronto#toronfashiondesigners#canadianfashion#maskmaker

Once I’m finished with masks and orders at the studio, I start working on content for my Instagram accounts; my personal and clothing line. I do things like take style photos, e-commerce photos and write captions. For my styling photos, I bring an outfit or style whatever I’ve worn that day using whatever is around in my studio. When I’m finished with content, I prepare the orders to be shipped the next day.

I finish my studio days around 7 or 8pm. I go home and eat dinner, usually a nice bowl or salad, then spend time with my family and work/research, watch interviews or documentaries on my laptop until I’m tired. I recently started to meditate before bed and find it helps me fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

Since the beginning of self-isolation, it’s become much more difficult to collaborate with other creatives and photographers. I absolutely love meeting new people and collaborating. It’s great having someone else’s input and it’s so fun to experiment with different photography styles, makeup and hairstyles. But now I’ve had to start being my own photographer and doing my own hair and makeup and I’m really loving it! I see this as a great opportunity for me to practice my photography and hair/makeup skills and come up with different, unique, creative ways of doing things.

As an emerging designer, I have always tried to improve myself through learning, using international platforms like The Business of Fashion and constantly trying to update everything I do. Before things got serious, we were hearing more and more conversations about global warming, sustainability and the evil of fast fashion but it was not yet a vital topic. This pandemic and the fact that it’s happening globally gives us a serious chance to change the way we do things and totally rethink and reset fashion.

The most recent change I made, that I thought would be proactive and beneficial to my brand, is removing traditional seasonal collections. I decided that going forward my collections will all be seasonless. The speed of fashion is insane and I have found it very difficult to keep up with. I want to spend more time on each piece, to update and perfect them instead of introducing more new styles. Dorian Who is also sold internationally. A lot of my customers come from different climates than here in Toronto where we have long winters and short summers. Bypassing traditional weather-driven seasons is the first step I’ve taken that allows me to create garments that can be worn almost anywhere, throughout the year.

Consumer behaviour also needs to change and I believe this experience, the fear of the unknown and having no choice but to face it head-on, will really begin to open people’s eyes to ‘new’ concepts and broaden their perspectives. There is no better time than the present to take action, to learn and educate people on the importance of the way we approach and think about fashion. Right now we can work on every aspect of this with a positive mindset to prepare ourselves for the future and to have an all-around happier, healthier planet. I mean, where are we going to end up if things continue to operate at this incredible speed? It’s time we slow down, and bring some joy back into the process.

“Hyottoko mask” Hyottoko is a lucky mythical character with a clown-like funny face. The origin of Hyottoko was from the story of a young boy named Hyoutokosu who could create gold out of his belly button, so when someone passed away in a house people would put the mask on top of the fireplace to bring good fortune to their house. There are also myths depicting the boy as the god of fire in some places.

“Oni mask” Oni masks are portrayed as demons with long sharp teeth and horns. Oni masks are worn in Setsubun (Bean Throwing Festival), which is the day people expel a bad fortune and invite a good fortune. Although they looks frightening, Oni masks are symbolized of protection for people who believe in the spiritual world. It also can be a sign of growing beyond humanity. #Illustration #illustrator #draw #procreate #procreatedrawing #procreateartwork #art #artistsoninstagram #painting #sketch #digitalart #painting #characterdesign #creativityxgigi #sketch #drawing #ipadpro #mask #masks #japanesemask #japaneseart #oni #onimask #onimasktattoo #onimaskart #maskculture #setsubun👹 #setsubun #japanesemasks👺 https://www.instagram.com/p/CD8uC2jpdla/?igshid=qj07k2ie8503

“Kitsune mask” Kitsune means fox. During the ancient times, Japanese people lived closely with foxes. Given the myths and mysterious nature of foxes depicted by Japanese, they are believed to be magical creatures which are able to transform themselves. In Shinto religion, foxes are believed to bring prosperity and wealth. They are also believed to represent Inari the God of rice.
