MAHEEN KHAN

Better known as the doyenne of fashion in Pakistan, and recently dubbed the Coco Channel of the East by the Italian press, Maheen has through the years made quite a name for herself internationally. Ever since the entrepreneurial designer opened her first tailoring shop in the early seventies in Lahore titled The Seamstress, she has gone from strength to strength.

Today, more than twenty international shows and over thirty years later, the silver-haired workaholic is a legend in the Pakistani fashion world.

She continually invents new and exciting ways of fusing Eastern and Western influences in her work and is renowned for her flattering cuts, chic designs and her mastery of her favourite fabric chiffon.
