RFUGEE was founded in 2020 by Mohammadamin Eilzadeh. However, the first ideas emerged back in 2015 when he first came to Germany. Having grown up in southern Iran and fled to Germany at the age of 14, Mohammadamin incorporates his past into his fashion to create a new language.

The RFUGEE brand uses fashion, music and art as PLUG-INS to create a filter for people who live in a society where they are the minority and experience shared pain, suffering and exclusion. The name RFUGEE has many negative connotations - a word that has no recognition in society. RFUGEE - a title, a label.

Mohammadamin Eilzadeh's inspiration comes from everyday life, his own past, his family and his history and childhood in general. As a result, the designer gives each piece a special spirit and personal meaning.

When you think of refugees, typical prejudices often come to mind - welfare money, crime and the like. However, Mohammadamin tries to give the term a new meaning by turning it into something luxurious. After all, refugees are also people who have had to go through a lot. You can draw a comparison here: Refugees are like uncut diamonds that grow into something valuable under the pressure and challenges of their lives.

By creating high-quality fashion, Mohammadamin wants to tell these stories and reinterpret the term “refugee” in a positive way. The RFUGEE collections are an expression of this transformation - they combine elegance and style with a deep, personal message. The name of the brand may not seem cool at first glance, but when you look at it from a different perspective, it takes on a whole new, cool meaning. It's about changing your perspective and recognizing the value in things that are often misunderstood or underestimated. RFUGEE stands for the ability to overcome adversity and create something beautiful out of life's pain and challenges.

Latest Collection

SKIN --- CARE SS25

It is difficult to list or name inspirations, the ideas always stem from everyday situations, complications and problems. I was looking for a black tape in the Euroshop, but you could only buy them in 3 other colors, white, red and blue. I liked the color combination so much that it became my new logo, white, black, red and blue.

The ideology behind the collection is that as a person I am provocative and like to play with boundaries and provoke them. However, I think that being provocative can be considered from different perspectives. In my work I want to protect the skin. I want to take responsibility for other people's bodies, in this case my models. For this reason, the outfits are very layered and there is little skin to be seen. I think my design should be in the foreground and not the breasts of my models.
