|IN THE SPOTLIGHT
What inspired you to start your own line? Tell us what your brands name 'Tuhura' means? Tuhura means to ‘Explore’ in Maori, which is the native language of New Zealand. We named our brand Tuhura to celebrate women exploring their inner strengths for achieving the best versions of themselves. The untiring hummingbird in our logo symbolizes the diligence needed in this process of self-discovery. I live in atleisure wear! Finding trendy outfits locally, while going easy on the wallet, was always a challenge for me. Tuhura was started to help bridge that gap and provide quality clothing with great designs at very affordable prices for the masses. Good looking, comfortable outfits are always a mood booster, and that motivation is something we all need before a hardcore workout.
in conversation with
FAtima Sultan We chat with the lady behind Tuhura athletics about her fabulous brand.

In your opinion what makes your brand different from other athletic wear brands in Pakistan? Our products are all runway-inspired and since we closely monitor trend reports, our new designs hit the market as soon as something starts trending globally. We also manufacture everything ourselves in Pakistan, with a very skilled team, which gives us an edge in customizing for various styling projects. Most importantly, however, our top priority is client satisfaction and we believe that they deserve the best in customer service. We take pride in the quality of the products we sell; hence, we offer one of the most generous return policies on our products. It's amazing how Tuhura produces locally. What response are you getting
from your customers? Customers thoroughly appreciate the fact that our products are made in Pakistan, unlike the generic Chinese products that have flooded our markets. Most customers are quite amazed that we can provide them international quality products locally. We plan on continuing to bring the best international industry practices to our country.
If you could change something about your brand what would it be? We reflect back and are constantly trying to improve things about our brand. If there are any changes required, they are put into effect right away. The only thing I would modify about the brand is the timeline for when it started. It should have been available much sooner to help women feel motivated to stay fit!
What was the greatest challenge you faced while starting this? Producing the right fabric and precision in design are essential components needed for quality athletic wear. Building a team that was reliable, skillful and knew how to comply with international standards was one of the biggest challenges we faced while we were starting Tuhura. Fortunately, now we have a very strong team that seamlessly brings to fruition all our design ideas.
What is your personal favourite international athletic wear brand and why? Lululemon and No Ka’Oi. The former has traditional clean cuts, solid colors, and impeccable technical details, while the latter has unconventional bold designs, full of colors. Both these powerhouses inspire us to grow bigger.
If you could make anyone wear your athletic or yoga wear who would that be? Gigi Hadid! She is indisputably the queen of athleisure.
Lastly, where do you see Tuhura in another 5 years? Being sported by every lady in the country, leading the market of athleisure wear and on the runway.
Are you a fitness freak? If yes, what do you prefer, hard core gymming or yoga? I strongly believe that exercise and meditation need to be part of everybody’s daily routine. I incorporated Yoga into my daily routine a couple of years back, and there has been no going back since then. Our readers would like to know a little about the force behind Tuhura? There are a lot of people who brought Tuhura into existence: from my parents, to my in-laws, my close friends, and our team of course. However, the greatest push comes from my husband, whose unconditional support since the conception of Tuhura has made me push forward harder every single day. Are you planning on extending your athletic wear line? Or opening up a store in the near future? Yes, we definitely are in the process of expanding our athletic wear line. This year alone we are bringing a passport collection to make travelling chic and comfortable. Our swimwear line will be launching very soon! As for stores, we have plans of stocking in a couple of places to help our clients try on sizes for the perfect fit; however, a brick and mortar store is not in the pipeline at this point. 2018

MOTHER’S DAY SPECIAL
cybil chowdhry 1. What’s the most rewarding part of being a single parent? Being a parent, single or not. The reward is being a parent, the good the bad and the ugly! You created these humans, you watch them grow, learn, talk and talk back. Being a parent is always an adventure! 2. Who are the people who make up your support system? My mother! She’s my biggest support system. 3. What has been the hardest part of your journey? Nothing has been too hard that I can’t handle it! Plus the journey’s not over yet – it’s just begun (Thankfully) 4. To be solely responsible for the physical and emotional well being of a child is so tough. How do you unwind and recuperate? Hahaha never! Once you’re a parent, your children are always on your mind but I mostly run away to my bathroom and get my alone time there for 30 minutes. I hang out and read but the kids they find you everywhere!
NOT ALL SUPERHEROES WEAR CAPES
5. What’s the one piece of advice you would give other single moms? Enjoy your life and your kids; don’t be too hard on yourself! Take one day at a time and you’ll always be your children’s mother so celebrate that.

juj u haider 1.What’s the best most rewarding part of being a single parent? I don’t feel like I’m a single parent. Like I’ve said before, my children are blessed to be raised by a village of amazing, kind and strong women. 2.Who are the people who make up your support system ? First and foremost my mother and after that the rest of my family and friends. 3. What has been the hardest part of your journey? I think the hardest part is letting them go, something that’s happening now! 4. To be solely responsible for the physical and emotional well being of a child is so tough. How do you unwind and recuperate? I think the gym really helps me unwind and then vegetating in front of the television also there’s nothing like a good therapy session with my friends. 5. What’s the one piece of advice you would give other single moms? Never be afraid to ask for help. There will great and easy times when you’ll feel like superwoman. But during the times when you don’t want to get out of bed or you want to lock yourself up in the bathroom, know that you can ask your family/friends to step in and take over.
al ina sh ah id 1.What’s the best most reward ing part of being a single parent? The sense of achievement in knowing that I am raising my daughter on my own and she is growing up to be a sensible, kind and caring young girl. 2. Who are the people who mak e up your support system? My family and my close friends are my biggest support system. Their unconditional love and enco uragement helps to keep me going. 3. What’s been the hardest par t of your journey? The struggles feel concentrated quite often because there is no one to share the responsibility, but the rewards far outweigh any challenges. 4. To be solely responsible for the physical and emotional well being of a child is so tough. How do you unwind and recuperate? I find strength and comfort by offering my prayers. There’s nothing more therapeutic than turning to Allah for his help and guidance. 5. What’s the one piece of adv ice you would give other single moms? Don’t give up no matter how tough life gets. Have courage to overcome your fears and any obstacle that comes your way for that what makes you stronger and wiser. And remember, strong faith and patience will lead to answ ered prayers. 2018
