Bijan Pakzad

Fashion designer, 1944-2011

Beverly Hills Courier: Fashion Icon and Beverly Hills Legend Bijan Pakzad died this morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. The 67-year-old suffered from a stroke Thursday evening and was sent to the medical center where he remained in critical condition until his passing. "It is with great grief and sadness that I announce the passing of my dear friend Bijan Pakzad," former Beverly Hills Mayor Jimmy Delshad said on his Facebook page at 11 a.m. "He was an exceptional person and he will be greatly missed." Bijan is best known for fashion and perfume expertise. He owned Bijan, a men's designer clothing store on Rodeo Drive, whose website boasts being "the most expensive in the world!" According to Bijan's website, what separated him from other designers was his attention to detail and outstanding quality. Bijan said on his website, "The world said to conform, the world said to settle for less, the world said to compromise and no one would know... so I made my own world."

Your Majesty, King Reza please read my grievance one more time before sending this "no-saint" commentator to fire squad, Your Honor. Is not that a little late for this servant of yours to advice King Bijan with his money? On my next travel to Egypt, however, your Honor, I will definitely visit Pharaohs tombs & see if we could possibly transfer the King Bijan there after his body is mumified & Bijan-perfumed, of course, in Rodeo Drive, your Honor!

on "hospitals and schools' and "caring for Iran".

by Roozbeh_Gilani on Sat Apr 16, 2011 05:40 PM PDT

As you want to make cynical political points out of the death of another Iranian:

This dead  man, whom I never knew about till today, made his money not out of Iran's oil money. On the other hand, The swiss and london bank accounts of khamenei /ahmadinezhad and their extended clan is full if billions of dollars who'd never be used to "build schools or hospitals" in Iran. As for "caring for Iran " bit, do I need to add anything ? really?..

You are somewhat right Demo!

by Immortal Guard on Sat Apr 16, 2011 05:16 PM PDT

But hey people fall for his soft-spoken nice manners! Who needs a hospital and a school! He knows how to charm Iranians the way they like to be charmed! One can tell how much he cares about Iran judging by the name of his children!

It's none of your business how someone spends their money. You want to be a saint, go do something with your own money.

People like you disgust me. The assumption that you're in a position to decide for someone else is one of the main reasons for all of our shortcomings as a nation.

You're no saint. You're part of the problem.

It is so sad to see a SHAHKAR of design dies at this early age. I am truly sad and my condolence to all Iranians around the world. He was one of the few Iranian that made me proud to be Iranian.

The Life of Excess!

by Demo on Sat Apr 16, 2011 04:55 PM PDT

"so I made my own world." But Bijan forgot that the angel of death had never recognized such "exclusive world" and that neither fashion nor image of this world would ever work as the underworld's lifestyle. Could not he have instead built a few hospitals/schools where they were needed the most? Perhaps he would then have lived 115 years, i.e. one year more than the oldest man in the world who passed away yesterday! A sure lesson for all of us!

Rest in peace Bijan, a good man, a very special Iranian-American, the pride of the rest of us, not because of his designs , but for his heart which remained Iranian through its last beat.

But his companion, the 30 year old Mahtab, must be laughing her way to the bank now.
