Designer DIALOGUES

SYOMIR IZWA GUPTA & EZZATI AMIRA

BY ABDUL AZIZ DRAIM S

I knew that the moment I paired designer Syomir Izwa Gupta with Ezzati Amira, chaos would ensue. The good kind. Friends in real life, though coming from two separate generations of designers, both Syomir and Ezzati are bright, expressive personalities whose shared passion for fashion is palpable.

Ezzati was especially taken by the task we assigned to her, using the opportunity to get to know more about her friend on a professional level. Syomir, on the other hand, is the cheekier interviewer, with questions that explored Ezzati’s more personal side. But together they share insights on the evolution of the Malaysian fashion scene, the search for their respective brand identities and the people they find intimidating. Be ready for a wild ride.

Ezzati Amira (EA): What were your first steps towards working and creating your own brand? Did you study fashion?

Syomir Izwa Gupta 

(SG): Yes, I went through the proper channels. During my time, parents usually want their children to become doctors, but my parents happened to be the ones that said, “You need to choose something that you like so you won’t feel tired of your work.” So they encouraged me to become a designer although I didn’t even know I wanted to be a designer.

EA: When did it spark then?
