About me!

Hi! My name is Mariyam Meeran. I’m 19 and currently studying fashion marketing. For as long as I can remember, fashion has been something that speaks to me. I'm drawn not just to the surface of fashion, but to the layers underneath it. Whether I’m seeing it, reading about it, writing about it, or simply paying attention to the way it moves through culture, it has always felt like more than just clothes.

What I love most about fashion is how creative it is. There’s so much room to explore, and I truly believe it has something for everyone. It tells stories. It holds meaning. It reflects who we are — not always literally, but in quiet ways that still manage to say everything. Fashion lets you experiment, express, and evolve. That’s what keeps me drawn to it.

Looking back, I almost didn’t choose fashion. For a long time, I thought I had to follow the path that promised stability — something practical, something that looked certain on paper. Economics seemed like the safer choice. Fashion felt too uncertain, too fragile, too tied to passion rather than predictability.

But then someone reminded me of something simple, something I hadn’t let myself believe: that what matters most is doing what you love. That happiness, when rooted in the work you do every day, is worth more than anything else you could measure.

I carry that reminder with me now. Studying fashion has brought me a kind of joy I couldn’t have scripted — a sense of meaning that makes me excited to keep learning, to keep showing up, to keep creating. It doesn’t feel like a box I’ve placed myself in, or a job I’ll grow to resent, but rather a space where purpose lives.

I’ve realized that in the long run, choosing happiness isn’t just about feeling good in the moment — it’s about shaping a life that feels valuable, one you don’t regret, one that keeps asking you to rise to your potential. And for me, that’s what fashion is: not just an industry, but a way of loving what I do, and loving the person I get to become in the process.
