House of K

MAY 20, 2018 | 54

@houseofk.pk

What/Who inspired the idea of House of K? The ‘House of K’ venture is a very personal one for us.

As two best friends, we have always wanted to have an umbrella company together.

‘House of K’ has been a dinner table discussion since we were in university, sitting in London and talking big dreams.

What is your work philosophy?

We are both currently in the midst of launching our own brands, ‘Interiors by Khan’ is an Interior design-based company, which is right now handling residential projects and featuring its own home furniture and decor line.

‘Nadia Khan’ is a clothing brand that looks to produce modern and distinctive pieces.

As startups, we thought debuting our products alongside established brands would be an effective launching strategy. Thus, came about the idea of ‘House of K,’ we hope to aid many other start-ups like ourselves, now and in the future, in having a

We thought debuting our products alongside established brands would be an effective launching strategy

platform to exhibit their designs/ products.

Tell us a bit about your process of working?

While Nadia is super efficient, Mahnoor has the ability to think outside the box. We keep each other in check and our work balanced. Together, we are a well-oiled machine of inventing and executing ideas. Even though the two of us are different in many ways, fundamentally, we hold the same beliefs and vision. Working together actually doesn’t feel like work at all, it’s a relaxed environment where neither of us is afraid to disagree or voice our opinions. Each of our viewpoints is met with respect and consideration. We capitalise on each other’s strengths and

divide the workload accordingly.

What is your favourite/non favourite part of this venture?

Getting to meet the most inspiring creative- heads and entrepreneurs is definitely our favourite part! Everyone has been so kind and helpful, offering advice and their own ‘how to-what not to-when to.’ It is exactly the kind of supportive community we’re looking to create through ‘House of K.’ The nerves would be our least favourite! We’re constantly stressing out, going over each tiny detail a hundred times over.

It is our first time ever doing something like this so we’re learning as we go on, while that is exciting, it is equally unsettling!

Who would you ideally take on board for events? Is there a screening process to maintain exclusivity?

We reached out to all the brands that we personally admire, whether it’s in terms of their style or business savvy. Dumb luck allowed us to achieve a level of coherence in terms of the brands showcasing. Next time, our screening process will probably be a little stricter, we would like to maintain that cohesiveness. The current line-up has set a standard we’re going to try and adhere to.

What’s next for House of K (post pop up)?

Our winter trunk show! Bigger and better!

This is basically a giant pillow with raised edges. These edges hug your baby, providing comfort for newborns who get scared easily and have a strong startle reflex. The Sleepyhead has given us many a good nights sleep — so rare with a new baby!!

An absolute essential! This is a baby formula espresso machine, press a button and the machine dispenses the exact ounces needed — and at the perfect temperature too!!! So no more measuring, no more wrist testing, just put in the scoops of powder in a bottle, stick it in the Perfect Prep, press a button and admire your baby, while the Tommee Tippee does all the hard work.

It’s no surprise that the entry of a baby means the entry of a TON of paraphernalia, some necessary and some totally useless. I wanted to share some things that I personally found so helpful with my new baby, and would recommend to ALL moms of babies and infants. Some of the stuff that you can’t buy here is one click away on Amazon Prime, or the suppliers websites, and can easily be brought to you

by Khala or Mami or Chachi or anyone else you choose to ask!

weekend | fashion These bottles help release air from vents in the base, so baby’s meal ends with a satisfying burp and no more painful gas! Add to that, that they are self sterilizing, and you couldn’t have a better deal!

Available in all sorts of colours, light to carry around, and with replaceable nipples once your wee little baby outgrows the slow ones.

This moulded seat frees up BOTH of your hands to bathe your baby, keeping them safe and snug in a chair like structure that doesn’t slip. This way baby gets less pushed and pulled while bathing, and you always have the confidence of knowing that baby is supported, even when your hands are soapy and slippery.

These are your new best friends. Basically a disposable bedsheet, these are easily available from every pharmacy in Pakistan , and perfect for placing under baby before a diaper change. In case of any mid-change ‘accidents’, the damage is contained and clean up is easy. Keep a couple with you on the go so you can lay them on changing tables in restaurants and planes etc, anything to keep those nasty grimly germs off of your baby when you have no choice but to change them away from home.
