Amir Taghi (born 1996) is a fashion designer based in the United States, originating from Houston, Texas. He completed his education at St. Francis Episcopal School and later graduated from Episcopal High School located in Houston. Taghi's interest in women's fashion emerged early; he presented his inaugural collection during his freshman year of high school and followed with a second collection the subsequent year. In the summer of 2013, he gained experience interning under designer Oscar de la Renta and collaborated with Houston-based David Peck to launch his own apparel line.
Taghi's first showcase in New York took place on September 6, 2014, at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, where he presented his collection at the Helen Mills Event Space.
Additionally, he designed a special edition dress alongside Nazanin Boniadi and Milad Ahmadi (Haus of Milad), representing the struggle of Iranian women for freedom. This garment has been donned by prominent individuals such as Farah Pahlavi, Shohreh Aghdashloo, activist Masih Alinejad, and social entrepreneur Aram Ostadian-Binai.
