About Region ®

Region is a Lifestyle Design House, that design's well fitted awe inspiring clothing for women, gifted with a curvaceous body type. Tailoring, comfort, quality and style along with originality and close attention to detail, mark the company’s focus. These factors, combined with the designer’s passion, allow Region to deliver a complete lifestyle to their customers.

Originally conceived as a custom design house, Region recognized the growing demand for clothing that fits the shapely body type. As a result, Region expanded to satisfy the increasing demand by offering a ready-to-wear line. The guiding mantra is that feeling good about the way you look is looking good in what you wear.

Region's underlying premise is "The Paradigm is Shifting. "Being thin" as a determinant of beauty is changing. Body shape and proportion, not size, is the focus. Region designs clothing for women who have been neglected by the fashion industry, those individuals who can’t find clothes that combine proper fit, style and quality. Region makes allowances for hips, backside, and thighs. No longer will people blessed with a curvaceous shape be forced to buy clothing that do not fit the way they were meant to.

Region offers a solution to individuals who are on the cutting edge, prefer originality to conformity, and who consider themselves trendsetter's. The clothing represents a lifestyle that includes setting one's own path and "making things happen."

Designer Zahiyya Abdul-Karim

Designer Zahiyya Abdul-Karim has always had a gift for design. At the age of nine she began making doll clothes, and by the age of twelve she was making clothes for herself. After graduating from LaGuardia High School with a concentration in Art, fashion became her passion. She honed her design skills at the Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science, now Philadelphia University, earning a BS with honors. Then she launched the clothing design company now known as Region Design Studio, Inc., a unique cutting edge company, that designs and manufactures men's and women's clothing for the shapely body type.

Zahiyya received a grant from the Open Society Institute of the Soros Foundation to work as a Fellow at the Harlem Textile Works. This non-profit organization trains underprivileged youth in art, textile design, and entrepreneurship, and provides a venue in which to sell their creations. She was the acting Artistic Director and was responsible for managing the Design as Enterprise program. She also oversaw the entire product line and trained the instructors. She has been a Designer for many companies with whom she worked in the U.S. and the Orient.

Zahiyya's wedding gowns, designs and textiles have been featured in The New York Times, DNR, Philadelphia Inquire, The City Paper, American Vision and Sew News Magazine. She has won various awards including the National Association of Menswear Buyer's "Excellence in Menswear" and "Best of Show" awards, and "Most Creative Collection" from Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science.
