In the glimmering world of fashion, where glamour often eclipses grit, Parvez Ahmed Peshimam stands as a rare voice—one that threads together the elegance of style with the depth of human experience. A seasoned professional with over three decades of leadership in the fashion industry, Parvez has long navigated the tightrope where creativity meets commerce. But beyond his credentials—an M.A. in Quality Management, Six Sigma Black Belt, and an impressive career in fashion—lies a quieter, yet equally powerful passion: writing.

Since 2003, Parvez has called Dubai home, where life with his wife Tanzim and daughters Sarah and Safa has shaped his journey in both personal and professional realms. Inspired by love, resilience, and lived experience, his literary works are not just reflections but invitations—beckoning readers into worlds both familiar and profound.

The Sound of Silence

Parvez's literary debut is a heartfelt collection of poetry dedicated to his daughters and to every individual walking the sometimes turbulent path of life. In The Sound of Silence, silence speaks volumes—of love, of loss, of quiet victories and unseen strength. These verses are not just poetic musings but a lifeline, reminding readers to find meaning in every step and to trust that perseverance ultimately leads to triumph.

Shredding Sentiments

A shift from verse to prose, Shredding Sentiments explores the emotional mosaic of life through a series of poignant short stories. Here, Parvez captures the fragility of dreams, the echoes of longing, and the resilience born in moments of stillness. Every story is a mirror, offering not just reflection, but connection—to self, to others, and to the shared journey of being human.

Memoirs of a Jobseeker

With searing honesty and heartfelt empathy, this book delves into the emotional rollercoaster of job hunting. Memoirs of a Jobseeker is more than a narrative—it's a companion for those navigating rejection, uncertainty, and reinvention. Through personal anecdotes and hard-won wisdom, Parvez offers encouragement to every reader who's ever faced a closed door, illuminating the belief that perseverance always opens new paths.

Behind the Fashionable Drapes

Pulling back the curtain on the glitzy world of fashion, Parvez invites readers into the often-unseen backstage—where sweat, strategy, and silent dedication give birth to the catwalk's magic. Behind the Fashionable Drapes is part memoir, part industry manual, and entirely a tribute to the artisans, technicians, and collaborators who bring fashion to life. It's essential reading for fashion students, entrepreneurs, and anyone curious about the craftsmanship behind the glamour.

Between the Seams

A continuation of his commitment to honoring unsung heroes, Between the Seams weaves dramatized tales based on real events and real people in the fashion industry. From the chaos of backstage rushes to the overlooked brilliance of IT staff and interns, this book sheds light on the industry’s hidden backbone. It is both an exposé and a love letter—to resilience, to reform, and to the people who make fashion human.

Crafting with Intention

Parvez Ahmed Peshimam’s writing echoes the same qualities that defined his fashion career: intention, precision, and heart. Whether he’s penning poetry, narrating untold stories, or spotlighting the invisible pillars of an industry, his voice remains authentic and resonant.

In a world that often celebrates the surface, Parvez chooses to go deeper—to reveal, to honor, and to connect. His books are more than just titles; they are touchstones for anyone seeking meaning, motivation, or simply a reminder that beauty lives not just in the design, but in the journey.
