Maheen Khan: A Pioneer in Pakistani Fashion
Maheen Khan, Pakistan's pioneering fashion designer, has been a driving force in the industry since the 1970s. As the founder of the Fashion Pakistan Council, she has given countless designers opportunities to gain international exposure. Her iconic design for Benazir Bhutto and global showcases has cemented her place in fashion history. At Milan Fashion Week in 2007, she was given the title of Coco Chanel of the East by the Italian press. Maheen’s devotion to the fashion industry, rooted in timeless elegance and innovation, is a source of inspiration for aspiring designers everywhere.
"For me the language of Fashion is not just in the clothes I design, but in how you wear it and how comfortable you are in them."
- Maheen Khan
Navigating Fashion Through Empowerment
For five decades, I've been navigating the ever-changing waves of fashion, but I've always had one belief: fashion should empower rather than constrain. Instead of following the industry trends of fixation on luxury, overly flattering silhouettes, and excessive embellishments, I prefer to create pieces that give women freedom to move, to feel comfortable and be confident in their own skin.
Gulabo and Maheen.
Both brands reflecting the essence of style and glamour.
My personal style and my brand Gulabo focus on comfort and style .
Comfortable to wear avant garde designs are my hallmark . Having said that I do believe every woman has her own signature so I do try to create a wardrobe for every woman .
Clothes that are timeless pieces in your wardrobe with no lashings of vulgar embroidery.
I like to call it the anti fashion of today .
Fashion and Comfort:
Through my two brands, Maheen and Gulabo, I continue to design and create pieces that are avante garde during the day and glamorously chic for nights out.
The Price of Fashion: Comfort Over Trends
I have seen women wearing six inch heels, tight clothes just for fashion whereas their expression screams how uneasy they are.
If You are going to go to a function, be it a wedding, a casual dinner or outing,make sure to buy/wear something that you will feel comfortable in.
Clothes that are tight in all the wrong places will make you uneasand awkward throughout the evening.
Remember confidence comes with comfortable fashion.
Fashion as a Form of Self-Expression
Create your own style beyond the social fashion rules. Until next time, remember to wear what makes you happy and confident.
