Growing up as a 3rd culture kid in Malaysia, I loved traditional eastern clothing but didn’t wear much of it.

It wasn’t until I was diagnosed as autistic as an adult that I learned about sensory overload—why I was overwhelmed by colors, patterns, and uncomfortable fabrics.

So, being pragmatic by default, I began designing minimalist pieces and sourcing materials to bridge my personal style and my neurodivergent needs.

My influences range from modern masculine sartorial to ancient eastern simplicity.

The result: Timeless, East-meets-West, utilitarian elegance constructed from soft textiles and featuring plenty of pockets.

I call it, Unity by Amirah.

It’s an ever-expanding fashion line that was originally a gift I gave to myself—before I realized my gift is also a gift to the world, as is often the case.
