Bridal

“Every woman deserves a special dress on her wedding day. It is possibly the most important day of her life. I never repeat a bridal. It is a whole process, whereby we sit together, and slowly the dress emerges. For which woman has not dreamt of exactly how she would like to look on this day. She deserves the best.”

Her life

“And that was me, my happiest days.. Sitting on the floor”- Maheen Khan
1981: Maheen khan returns to Karachi from Dubai, and opens a new shop in Clifton. Her “karkhana” was located in Gizri. In her own words, she couldn’t afford to have a chair or a desk, she sat on the floor for 10 years. Every bit of money earned was put back into the collection.
