About Imani Akbar
A bay area local, Imani Akbar’s love of fashion began in Oakland, CA. She then attended UCLA to study theater and has since held an active career in costuming for nearly two decades. Her work in Hollywood has included several well known titles for large networks. She has assisted with designing on sets of shows like, INSECURE (HBO Max) and LOKI (Marvel/Disney). More recently, Imani was the Costume Designer for Vanessa Bayer’s Showtime comedy series, I LOVE THAT FOR YOU. She also worked as the Assistant Costume Designer for the Matt Damon & Ben Affleck film, AIR.
Imani remains passionate and active in the costuming design field, next extending this to accessibility for the public via creating Symmetry Vintage. This is not her first project intended to bring sustainable and unique vintage items to the front. She previously owned her own brick and mortar on Clement Street in San Francisco, CA.
Symmetry Vintage is currently located online on Etsy and in person at collaborative artist events, as part of the great Bay Area creative community.
