An artist, designer, and lifelong fashion enthusiast, Jiva built the platform from a deep passion for creativity, self-expression, and the belief that fashion should be accessible to everyone.

Drawing inspiration from her culturally diverse background, Jiva approaches fashion as both an art form and a powerful means of storytelling.

Throughout her career, Jiva has remained passionate about championing creativity and supporting fashion lovers from all walks of life.

This philosophy became the foundation of 405Threads.
As Founder and Creative Director, Jiva oversees the vision of the publication while helping shape its editorial direction and creative identity. Her expertise spans fashion design, trend forecasting, artistic direction, celebrity style, and fashion culture, bringing a well-rounded and global perspective to the content readers enjoy every day.
When she’s not working on 405Threads, Jiva can often be found sketching new ideas, exploring galleries and cultural events, discovering emerging designers, and seeking inspiration through travel. Her mission remains the same as it was from the beginning: to inspire, educate, and empower fashion enthusiasts around the world to embrace their individuality and find confidence through personal style.
