Baku:Shervin Najafpour, an Azerbaijani woman born in Norway, has been making strides in various fields, including fashion, cultural diplomacy, and public projects, all while maintaining a connection to her Azerbaijani roots. Her work aims to build a cultural bridge between Azerbaijan and Norway, showcasing the rich heritage of both nations.

According to Azerbaijan State News Agency, Shervin Najafpour's journey into fashion began in childhood and led her to design clothes for members of the Norwegian royal family and a finalist in the Miss Universe Norway contest. Her significant projects include the "I'm a Star" collection, presented at Antalya Fashion Week in 2019, which highlighted Azerbaijani territories and the aspirations of displaced people.

One of her most cherished experiences was visiting Garabagh, fulfilling a long-held dream. She has since dedicated projects to Garabagh, including a billboard campaign in Oslo and cultural events promoting its heritage. As Chairperson of the CAN diaspora organization, Najafpour has initiated numerous cultural projects aimed at fostering dialogue and understanding between Azerbaijan and Norway.

Najafpour's work with CAN has led to collaborations with influential Norwegian cultural institutions. Notable projects include an exhibition on Heydar Aliyev and Thor Heyerdahl's friendship, and the book 'Jyrtdan in Oslo.' Through these efforts, she aims to create lasting cultural ties, introducing Norway to Azerbaijani culture and vice versa.
