OUR STORY

WHO WE ARE

ORKEN was created by Shiva Novinfar. Shiva was born and raised in Tehran, Iran. As a child, she was always fascinated by creating things and usually found herself drawing clothes and making clothes out of newspaper.

Shiva studied Graphic design in her home city of Tehran and worked mainly as a graphic designer.

Later on she began formally studying fashion design at TAFESA in Adelaide, South Australia to learn more about the fashion industry, and created the fashion label SHIVA NOVINFAR.

Recognising trends in the retail fashion industry, Shiva created her second label, ORKEN. ORKEN is a product of Shiva’s two great passions: the exhilaration that comes from living an active, adventurous lifestyle; and the confidence that comes with looking stylish and feminine while you’re living life to the fullest.  

 

WHAT WE'RE ABOUT

ORKEN was created for active, adventurous women to whom style and femininity are also important. While we love our active wear (and know you do too!), our collection is all about helping you to experience the confidence of looking good while exploring all of the wonderful things that life has to offer.
