Why did you decide to become a designer?

It always seemed like the way to go. My family’s business is to manufacture fabric and since a young age I had a lot of exposure to the minor details that go into putting together a high-quality, high-fashion product.

My parents let me explore the possibilities and once I started designing on my own it came naturally to me and I found myself really passionate towards fashion design.

Who has been your biggest inspiration and why?

My parents. Their hard work and contribution to the fabric industry as well as my own potential has been priceless. They always encouraged exploration and were very observant towards my passion towards design. It was them who encouraged me to pursue a career in fashion design.

Tell us about a time when you had to deal with a difficult client. What was the situation and how did you react?

I feel often people don’t realize that a couture piece is a time consuming task and I just wish clients would be a little more patient in terms of their piece being ready. Also I’ve had a hard time explaining to some clients that I can only accommodate their design based on their budget. I feel like people here don’t understand that too well.

What is the funniest question that you have ever been asked in an interview?

I’ve been asked this since I was a child. “Do you ever smile?”

If you weren’t a designer, what would you be doing right now?

I’d probably be a good army officer.

Which design house do you look up to and why?

I love Paul Smith! Whether its aesthetic or strategy or the management of the organization.

They’ve been around for around 70 years and he has been knighted by the Queen of England too!

What is your creative process before you launch a collection?

Each design requires a unique mind-set with the right amount of consistency. Then comes the patience. I take time to cultivate each look. I would also like to think that I have a good sense of what looks beautiful with a sense of luxury and I always try to incorporate that.

What’s your motto or the advice you live by?

Don’t confuse life with career and vice versa. There is a harmonious balance in all things and that is what I strive to achieve.

What is your favourite song to belt out at in the car?

Beautiful People by Ed Sheeran What is one thing people would be surprised to know about you?

I can’t cook! Other than a cup of tea with an omelette to go with it!

Who has been your mentor in this industry and what would you like to say to them today?

Again, my own parents have been involved in the fundamental process of manufacturing fabric and therefore it has always been their original and honest insight that has done me so much good.

Ten years from now you will be…

I will be aiming for FAS to be the quintessential trendsetter of tomorrow. We’ve already combined the sophistication of the yesterdays with today’s funk and tomorrow’s uniqueness. So I just want to see FAS as the go-to fashion trendsetter in the future.

A Neeks’ Shade for

EVERY OCCASION The Neeks’ lip-kits come with a lip liner and a liquid lipstick to match. The liquid lipstick is formulated with hydrating oils for it to sit comfortably on your lips and last for hours.

Insta-Famous Go for something fun and casual when you’re out with your girlfriends. A deep mauve shade is a great way to spice up your makeup game.

Toffee Kisses The universal chocolate nude shade for you to get natural- and flirty-looking lips. An outline using the lip liner plus one swipe of the liquid lipstick is sufficient for your lips to look flawless.

Travelling is great fun. You get to explore a new place, meet new people and get wiser! We want to know more and will share with you exciting travel stories from a few special people in our section, planes, trains & automobiles!

Who did you go with?

This year, the Lulusar team for the North Campaign included Fawad Shah (Director & Partner), Muniba Rashid (Design Lead), Manal Akmal (Fashion Designer), Jaazah H. Baloch (Marketing & PR Manager), Sanwal Chisti (Fashion & Multimedia Manager), Tahir Malik (Multimedia Assistant). We were joined by lively models Sana Rajput, Hiba Khan and Rabia Chaudhry, with our favorite makeup artist, Nauman.

Amazing places to see.

The whole trip was full of breathtaking views that we couldn't get enough of! What really left us awe-struck was how we could see Nanga Parbat from Rama Lake, as well as the crystal clear Silk Valley Lake - definitely our favorite!

Favorite spots to eat.

The best food we tried was from Naran's local market.

While we usually ate from the hotels, the market food was amazing after tiring treks and mingling with the locals and listening to their stories made the experience so much better. Another highlight was the hot chocolate and coffee we had on cold days that warmed us up and was super delicious!

Tips for other travelers To be adventureous and open to new experiences! Northern Pakistan is beautiful but the routes are definitely thrilling.

The narrow roads are not for the faint of heart, especially in Chillas and on the way to Rama Lake. You should be prepared for moments like those, because the destination is so worth it!

horoscope

Our fab astrologer Zahid Haider, styles up your stars. Find out what’s in store for you this week!

For your in-depth weekly forecast call 0322-757-5219 E-mail: happyhaider65@gmail.com

ARIES (MAR. 21- APRIL 20) An idea is merely an idea until you act upon it. Get proactive about your dreams, Aries. You know exactly which one of them is worth investing in. Know that what you're working on at this moment will be slow to build, and that is not a bad thing.

Patience is something you need to learn to cultivate. Unlike you, the people around may not be in a space of clarity. Take it upon yourself to deliver the truth bombs.

SCORPIO (OCT. 24 - NOV. 22) This week is likely to feel a lot like 'one step forward, two steps backwards'. There are projects that are moving forward at jetspeed and then there are those who seem to have come to a halt unexpectedly. Make 'no bad days' your mantra, Scorpio. Train your eyes to see the higher reason behind everything. This will help you realize why the things that aren't working out are indeed a blessing in disguise.

TAURUS (APR. 21- MAY 21) After last week's reality check, you're all set to hit the reset button. What is your sacred mission? How would you describe the reason behind your existence in the Earthly realm? Your aha-moment is around the corner, Taurus. Trust that your renewed sense of purpose will do wonders for the projects at hand and help you build authentic connections.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 23 -DEC. 21) Why are we so fixated on immediate rewards? Sometimes things take a little longer to materialize, and that’s okay. Continue to love and nurture the project in the same way as you did at the very beginning. This chapter of your life also requires you to cut the frills.

Being frugal with your expenses will help you build a reserve that will come in handy tomorrow. As for those who are feeling creatively uninspired, solitude is the need of the hour.

GEMINI (MAY 22-JUNE 21) The Japanese believe this is the midpoint between passion, mission, vocation and profession. The idea that you can get paid to do something you love while simultaneously serving society. Could it be that the projects you are working on at this point are keeping you up at night, instead of giving you a reason to jump out of bed in the morning? See how and where you need to realign. Small changes can make a bigger difference than you think.

CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22) Your most important lesson this week: learning to pick your battles. Not everything deserves your time and attention. Stepping away from situations that drain you will help you focus on what's really important. Get your priorities in order. On the upside, the second half of the week brings with itself the feeling of being in the right place at the right time. Trust that the things that are weighing you down will resolve themselves too, if you are putting your sword down, that is.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG 22) You're taking a new route starting this week. But don’t expect things to catapult immediately. Good things take time. The law of divine timing is something you’ve got to learn to trust. For now, focus on the planning and strategizing. Having a clear vision will facilitate forward movement. The best part about this journey: help will come to you when you need it and from the most unexpected places.

VIRGO (AUG. 23 -SEPT. 23) Overcommitting and under delivering? Not your style, Virgo. Let go of your people pleasing ways. Carefully assess your options before you say yes. This will help you focus on what's really important and deliver your best work yet. With Goddess Venus smiling her best smile at you, trust that your creative and sensual side will also be illuminated. Revel in that mad rush of ideas coming to and through you. You'll soon be painting your world in more colors than you can imagine.

LIBRA (SEPT. 24 -OCT. 23) Saying yes to one thing means saying no to another. Making a choice doesn't have to be a bad thing, Libra. Putting your foot down is the need of the hour, with both yourself and others. Remember, no force in the world can stop you from achieving what you have set out to once you realign with your goals. This week also brings with itself the reminder that you must be able to walk the talk. What's it going to take to get to the finish line? Get ready to put in the dirty work.

CAPRICORN (DEC 22.- JAN. 20) Do you really want to add to the noise, Capricorn? Detachment is the key to dealing with your current set of challenges. As always, let your work speak for you. We all know that you have a knack for excellence. Continue to be secretive about what you are pouring your energy into as well. Not everybody deserves your trust. Trust that you will be able to tell the difference between friend and foe soon.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 21.- FEB. 19) What is the kind of work a sportsperson puts in before a big game? This weekend, adopt the grit and vigor of a performer until it becomes synonymous with who you are on a fundamental level. This phase of your life requires both practice and persistence. The commitment you demonstrate towards your goals will determine the kind of rewards you reap in due course of time. Carpe diem, Aquarius.

PISCES (FEB. 20-MAR. 20) Your mood: building an empire, creating art, making magic, living consciously, and inspiring others to achieve their highest potential. You are more you than you have ever been, Pisces. Continue to shine your light. But that doesn't mean the road ahead won't come with its fair share of challenges. When you find yourself giving up, consider Robin Sharma's words: “Trials can be teachers. Hardship can breed heroism. Pain can morph into power. It’s all your choice.”

birthdays As one of the water signs, Scorpios are ruled by emotion and they usually feel like they can’t open up to people unless they really feel comfortable, so don’t expect this zodiac to reveal much to you on your first meeting.
