Designer Bijan

Bijan was awarded the Otis Design Legend Award, this video was created to be shown at the ceremony.

[@TeejBates]

I was fortune enough to spend time with Bijan on a few different occasions, including the time spent with him while filming this video. He was very kind - I was in his Boutique and his house for about 12 hours this day. He was constantly asking if we needed anything...water, food etc. He also spent about two hours with us while filming his house...just talking about life. He was a very kind and generous man.

[@SAMIYE1126]

Rest in peace Bijan, Westwood billboards will never be the same without you. My wishes and prayers go out to your family.

[@darrylmorris3897]

[@maraltheone1]

I think some of you above are being rude on the accent and English. I think it is fine....Dear Mr. Bijan, Congratulation on your success. I hope all the Iranians in America and elsewhere become as successful ! :)

[@sunshinexdream]

[@renzoc]

This is an amazing video. A man who came to this country and made himself into the success he is today. I remember being a young teen and seeing his billboards and how extravagant and passionate he looked in his advertisements. So full of life. I remember walking by his store on Rodeo around that time too and saw on the store front window "by appt only." I thought wow! Well many years ltr i still can't afford to go in there lol Anyway R.I.P BIJAN!

[@TheZarvan76]

RIP the greatest persian designer!!

[@Rob1o12]

He seemed like a really nice man.

[@stephenalanestes]

I think you are all being mean to Bijan. He seems like a nice man. And he ought to be proud! He cam here from Iran and made it in America! That is an amazing thing. And it ought to be an inspiration to us all - not something to get down on him for. I say good for you, Bijan! Keep up the good work. I wish you nothing but more success and happiness.

[@MrWhitmnky]

your father raised you well. Keep up the good work and God bless you

[@bjgzentertainment]

wonderful video, i laughed and cried. what a man, he is an angel now and his presence is always here in BH. i watched a few videos on Bijan this was by far the best, thank you.

[@californianights]

RIP Bijan. May your soul rest in paradise

[@mrkamran40]

proud of you bijan... rest in peace

[@bs10098121]

He was the greatest designer of all time!

[@calibred818]

Such an amazing man.. I just wish he would have done is interview in Farsi.. He would have sounded way more natural..

[@601geminijets]

Bijan passed away, in his life time he accomplished many things. His store is world renowned and is now in the hands of his children. Nor he or his family need to donate money to the poor. However, they did. So stop complaining and kindly leave!

[@prrico217]

Holy shit. I've never felt so poor in my life. RIP Bijan.

[@arash473]

God Bless Him :( ... He'll remain as a shiny star in every Persian's Heart.

[@konbaloche]

He is the man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@snowman300]

nobody enjoyed living more than he did.. rest in style

[@foxhunter11]

May you rest in peace, just one of the great many people that introduced Iran's good name to the world!! Rohet shad agha bijan!!

[@Bobbyispersian]

Yes, its called Persian hospitality

[@ragemanchoo82]

LOVE the music. Was Bijan a big fan of Sinatra? I like him even more! Real class act! 5:06, is that his Veyron? Other videos on youtube show him driving a two-tone (black over yellow) Veyron. Nicholas looks like a young Frankie Avalon!

[@MTajvidi]

Bijan Pakzad , R.I.P

[@TheHapali]

Rest in peace Bijan. Your will be remembered...

[@shararockboy]

god bless him and the child that died in africa from hunger at the same day same time probably, cuz they both are humans, and its not right to zoom on a person this much while millions of people are hungry in other places, all humans are = . if u care about a 67 years old guy who lived his life in the best way you should also care about those children as well

[@ozdengurtav]

Rest in peace...

[@donttakefakecredit]

RIP BIJAN!

[@BearTubz]

[@mpjvlogz5101]

[@haggencharman]

i love mr.bijan so much!! i hope that i can meet him

[@nikita1344]

Here in Australia one of the reaches man is Frank Lowy, who owns Westfield Shopping Centres worldwide, worth over $50 billion. He built his first centre back in 1960 in Sydney and he couldn’t even talk properly English, please don’t criticise people because they have accent, this is rude, and unacceptable. I personally wouldn’t do this sort of video but at the end I am happy for Bijan and I wish him and his family all the best. GOOd ON YOU SIR

[@im18iswear1000]

straight pimping in ITALY

[@alphadawwg]

you left us wayyyy to soon ! :(( may you rest in peace

[@sdiam1007]

What is the name of the song in the beginning?? The Persian one.

[@maraltheone1]

I think some of you above are being rude on the accent and English. I think it is fine, specially for some one in fashion industry! have you watched anything on French or Italian fashion designers??? They all have accent and that is the charm of it ....atleast now they ask, where is the accent from? and he will say Iran and that way the whole world knows!!! Dear Mr. Bijan, Congratulation on your success. I hope all the Iranians in America and elsewhere become as successful ! :) Regards,

[@sheidas]

Well, i am happy for him, really, but I would like to know what kinda philanthropy work he does. There are so many Iranian charity organizations. I wonder if he has sponsored any kids from Child Foundation, or other organization. If he has, great, and more power to him. I will really feel proud when I see that list...

[@WilliamOnink]

@sdiam1007 you mean la camisa negra juanes at the beginning? that's not persian song but spanish!

[@vgovahi]

!! God bless him , people like bijan are suppose to be prude of himself , compare to some losers who has achieved nothing , in their life . He was successful yes and its natural that many people ! dont like him just for that !

[@alizamzam11]

[@MrHenrimontreal]

He speaks proudly my wife is 30ys!lol :))

[@magicalwand06]

@MrAnalysis101 So what if he doesn't speak proper English, Donatella Versace doesn't speak proper English either who criticizes her, they are designers and not English major students or anything like that , this is just stupid.

[@radfaves]

@MrAnalysis101: If you're going to criticize someone's proper English, or lack thereof, you might want to read over your own comments before posting them. In your first sentence the second "please" is redundant and grammatically incorrect, not to mention the use of the preposition "of" after the adjective "befitting". I'm not a big fan of Bijan (the fact that he's buddy buddy with the Bush clan speaks volumes about his character), but if you're going to speak for all Iranians do it right.

[@modir23]

@MrAnalysis101 wow you mean he doesn't know english after 40 years in the states?!! what is embarrassing in my view, is closing your eyes on this man's unbelievable success and his tremendous efforts during alla these years and pick merely on his english. haven't you seen other immigrants in this country speaking english with their own accent ?

[@Bijface]

MY NAME IS BIJAN!!!!! AND IM PERSIAN!!!! BUT SADILY IM 13):

[@radfaves]

@tuneesq: First of all hamal babateh. Secondly I don't think I can embarrass you because your very existence is an embarrassment. Lastly, I was trying to make a point that if MrAnalysis is going to criticize someone's English he should not make mistakes himself. Just because a grammatical mistake is made regularly it doesn't make it less of a mistake. I've told you the rule of grammar that applies here. So Kia Kia, kir to koon bachegiat congratulations you're illiterate in 2 languages.

[@TheMrtechboy]

Its not persian

[@StfuSiriusly]

@tipzero trolololololololololololol

[@calculussuckshell]

[@blunty6feetunder]

Sorry, but Bijan does not in any way represent what I see as "Persian", may he rest in peace, but he's just another rich guy to me.
