About
Lily Samii: A Journey Through Life & Fashion is a memoir celebrating the extraordinary life and career of renowned fashion designer Lily Samii. From her childhood in Iran to her work with legendary designers Edith Head and James Galanos, the book chronicles a remarkable journey through fashion, art, entrepreneurship, and philanthropy.
The website was created to support the launch of the book, providing a destination where visitors could learn about Lily's story, preview the book, and purchase signed and standard editions directly from the publisher. As the project evolved, the site expanded to include press coverage, events, and additional content that further showcased Lily's legacy and influence within the fashion world.
Design
Direction
The visual design was inspired by the elegance and sophistication that define both Lily Samii and her work. A rich dark color palette accented with gold details creates a refined, luxurious experience, while clean typography and spacious layouts allow the photography and storytelling to take center stage. Throughout the site, the design balances the feel of a high-end fashion publication with the accessibility of a modern e-commerce experience.
The Outcome
The finished website serves as both a promotional platform for the book and a digital archive of Lily Samii's remarkable career. Thoughtful storytelling, curated imagery, and a seamless purchasing experience guide visitors through her journey while highlighting the craftsmanship, artistry, and accomplishments that shaped her legacy.
The result is an elegant online presence that honors Lily's contributions to fashion and preserves her story for future generations.
