About me
Nawshin
Jahan Sayeba.
Born in Dhaka, 2002. Schooled in Marbella and Madrid. A fashion business graduate who works the sourcing and merchandising end — supplier costs, assortment, provenance.
The frame
I grew up between two wardrobes — the Jamdani and hand-block heritage of Bangladesh, and the European tailoring that's surrounded me since I moved to Spain. Fashion business turned out to be the discipline that lets me hold both at once.
At IED Madrid I specialised in sustainable sourcing, buying and merchandising. The work that held my attention was the part most people skip: who weaves the fabric, on what wage, under which EU directive — and what the cost-per-unit becomes once you've accounted for it honestly.
That's also where the Bangladesh-to-Europe thread runs through everything I make. South Asian craft has the heritage and the artisans; European fashion has the buyers and the new circular-economy regulation. I want to be one of the people that closes that gap commercially, not just rhetorically.

Heritage
My family carries the kind of textile literacy that doesn't get written down — what a true Jamdani warp feels like, why one weaver's borders are tighter than another's, which dyes hold and which don't. That's the lens I bring to a sourcing brief.
Story 1979is the personal label and curatorial platform where that heritage lives outside the academic projects — a slower, image-led conversation with the same fabrics.
