Behnaz Sarafpour was born in Tehran, Iran and grew up in Philadelphia. Her mother was a painter and encouraged Behnaz's interest in the arts and crafts at a very young age.

In 1989, Behnaz moved to New York City and attended Parsons School of Design, where she was awarded the Golden Thimble Award. While in school she embarked on what has become an expansive design career beginning with Anne Klein, where she worked under Richard Tyler, and Narciso Rodriguez.

Upon graduation she went to work for Isaac Mizrahi and this run culminated into a post as Head Designer of the Barneys New York private collection in 1998.

Behnaz launched her label with the fall 2001 season. With Style.com as her sponsor, she produced her first runway show in February 2002, and received her first of three nominations for the CFDA's Perry Ellis Award for Women's Ready to Wear. In 2004, she became a member of the CFDA and was also a finalist for the first Vogue/CFDA Fashion Fund.

Behnaz expanded her business with the launch of a holiday collection in 2005.

In 2006, Behnaz began a series of creative collaborations with companies such as Earnest Sewn, Lancôme and was chosen as the first designer to represent the United States in Target's Go International design campaign.

Behnaz's interest in innovative textiles as well as her awareness of the fashion industry's influence on the environment led to the creation of a capsule collection of organically made pieces for Spring 2008 which continues on as a staple of the collection.

Behnaz Sarafpour continues to push her variety of fashion forward; her collections are the epitome of modern elegance.
