Dubai based stylist, philanthropist and designer Buffi Simone Jashanmal is adding a whole lot of truth to the idea that fashion is a universal language. Like most fashionistas, Buffi started at a young age and worked hard to make her mark in the fashion industry. It’s no secret that she’s doing just that and then some.

Having studied in the fashion capitals of London and New York City (London College of Fashion and Parsons) and working with labels of Armani Exchange, Andrea Lieberman and J. Crew, it’s apparent Buffi comprises a surplus of experience. Although Buffi has a mere three collections under her line Quiet Riot, she’s already gained a lot of attention in United Arab Emirates, Europe and the United States. Recently she made the Ahlan Top 100 List in Dubai and did New York City’s S/S 2010 shows. Her designs are edgy and flirtatious, comparable to that of legendary Betsey Johnson. And when she’s not busy creating, Buffi spends her free time knitting, raising money through her charity club, Knit ’n’ Knatter. Creativity is without a doubt part of her name.

“I am busy inside and outside of work, constantly being a creative machine!” exclaims Buffi. Similar to her designs, this lady knows how to make a statement and is definitely a force to keep an eye on in the arena of hot and fresh fashion designers.
