Abel Martirosyan is an Armenian fashion designer based in New York, with over eight years of experience in Fashion design, production, luxury visual merchandising, and retail. A deep understanding of craftsmanship, materiality, and the emotional impact of clothing shapes his work.
Originally from Yerevan, Armenia, Abel's path into fashion was driven by a fascination with how garments can serve as both protection and expression. His career has taken him across different facets of the industry, from hands-on work in ateliers to curating visual narratives in retail spaces. This diverse experience has sharpened his ability to merge conceptual storytelling with the precision of tailoring and construction. After graduating from an MFA program in Fashion Design and Society at Parsons School of Design, Abel approaches fashion as a language that speaks of identity, strength, and individuality.
His design perspective balances traditional tailoring with conceptual freedom, often drawing from personal and cultural references to create pieces that possess an heirloom quality but are still forward-thinking.
Beyond technical expertise, Abel's work reflects a sensitivity to the way clothing interacts with the body and the psyche. Whether through structured silhouettes or fluid draping, his designs invite wearers to engage with fashion as an extension of their presence and confidence. As he continues to evolve his practice, Abel remains committed to pushing boundaries while honoring the craftsmanship and intentionality that define his approach.
