Of course, plenty about Bijan—the stuff that sets it apart from even the highest end of luxury fashion—
is intentional. When you show up to the House of Bijan, which shares a block with Chanel, Hermes, and Giorgio Armani, you will be the only customer there. A prominent sign on the enormously tall door says “By Appointment Only.” There very well may be a Bugatti Veyron and/or Rolls Royce Phantom painted in Bijan’s signature yellow parked outside. If you’re a top client, your name might even be in the window. And if you’re lucky, you’ll be greeted by Nicolas, whose father, Bijan Pakzad, founded the empire of unrestrained luxury in 1974.
