Ev Bessar collections depict raw and textured imagery with the unique design aesthetic. Ev's designs portray complexity in the form of creating fabric, cultivating modern innovation techniques, treatments, and manipulation.
Graduating from Parsons, Ev Bessar has been organising and producing multiple Fashion Shows, Charity Showcases, Exhibitions, as well as Fashion Films and Editorials. Her collections were featured in publications worldwide including The New York Times, Elle, NY Post, Fashionista, Fashion Daily Mag among others.
The designer devoted her time solely on handcrafting entire collections from scratch. The signature combination of leather and yarn is portrayed in the staple pieces of her collection. The true masterpieces of the line incorporate a sense of unity in the wearer, turning imagination into a source of energy.
The passion for Art led Ev into exploring the world of Sculpture. Her dark vision is inspired by subconsciousness and the power it can portray on people’s life choices. In the mixed media sculptures Ev Bessar combines the diversity, strength, and depth of instant emotions. She became a member of San Diego Sculptors Guild and has been actively participating in exhibitions, art fairs, and shows.

EV BESSAR
Ev Bessar is a unisex clothing line that gets a specific theme attached to it each season. It was, in fact, a show of juxtapositions; light and dark, casual and dressy, knit and fur, masculine and feminine. We were especially digging the glam white fur thrown over a toughened up all-black ensemble and the incredible chunky knits that were both cozy and cool.

A CND diagnose can be a death statement for an underprivileged child. Starting every day as a struggle for life, is Taken for granted such simple but necessary services, as high quality medicine and covered insurance are not available for thousands of children around the globe.
Our goal is to give a chance to children with congenital heart disease despite their race, social status, religion, or citizenship. However, there are too many underprivileged kids, who are not able to use it. Any child should have an opportunity to use his right to live.
