For Karim, design is the purest form of self-expression; with fashion particularly standing out, where the initial impression often speaks before words. From a young age, he enjoyed sketching and manipulating fabric, turning flat sheets into sculpture-like creations. Karim's creative process begins with a core message—an emotion, feeling, or story. Design, to him, is storytelling through sketches, moulage, or exploring patterns like crafting an architectural creation. Karim relishes each step of his design journey, from conceptualization and sketching to pattern drafting and beholding the final realization of his vision. He also enjoys crafting storylines for photoshoots, focusing on every detail to communicate a narrative.

“CSB gave me the opportunity to have a clearer vision about the real fashion industry with its creative and dreamy side and the more challenging and authentic one.”
