Shell Always Have Paris After graduating at the top of her class from the Paris Academy of Fashion Design, Fe Zandi became a costume designer for the Sadlers Wells Theatre in London.
A year later, she opened her first atelier in Paris with a formal show, to much acclaim. Zandi brought her talent for fashion design including exquisite gowns with her signature beading to the United States, opening a haute couture salon in Beverly Hills and a second one on El Paseo in Palm Desert.
