A fashion show ruminating on the intersections of identity, immigration and assimilation; documenting the journey of making one’s way home.
2026 WSU MFA Exhibition Show: Chasing Fireflies is the debut collection from graduating MFA candidate and Creative Director of ZOOBI, Zuwaib Razzaq, which ruminates on the transcendence of identity, immigration and assimilation. Chronicling the journey home through the darkness to a sense of self that is lush with vibrant color, patterns, textures, silhouettes, and spirit, we discover what it means to be a light in the room.
ZOOBI, is a streetwear brand for the fearless revolutionary who’s quick witted, sharp tongued, and majorly flirty. Zuwaib is inspired to dress people who, like himself, can’t help but wear their hearts on their sleeves and he hopes his garments empower people to embody their fullest potential with hearty, unapologetic gusto and joy.
