I recently discovered Iman Pasha, I must one a few Pakistani women I have seen in western clothing that are slightly more revealing clothes as per the normal Paki standard, so I assume. I don’t really know the kind of western clothes girls wear in Pakistan, so pardon my ignorance.
Pakistani born and London based Iman Pasha who was recently appointed Head of Personal Shopping for Boutique 1 in Dubai U.A.E.
Iman stems from an impressive Fashion background that includes personal/editorial styling and fashion journalism. She currently holds the position of Senior Fashion Columnist for The Express Tribune, an affiliate of The International Herald Tribune, and Contributing Editor of Niche Magazine. Iman is frequently approached to write freelance pieces for prestigious publications including Newsweek and Savoir Flair.
Iman Pasha Fashion Consultancy works closely with top retailers to host exclusive collection previews, shopping events and trunk shows in London and the Middle East. Over the past year Iman has collaborated with some of Fashion’s biggest names including Erdem, Diane Von Furstenberg and Olivia Palermo.
As a stylist, Iman Pasha offers both editorial and personal services. Iman has has work published in numerous international Fashion Publications including Harpers Bazaar Arabia and Haute Muse Magazine.
The sheer size, and value, of Iman’s love-affair with fashion and clothes is inconceivable, each of the precious items in her wardrobe are carefully wrapped and preserved and her accessories, which include a collection of 17 Chanel bags, 2 Hermes Birkins and endless rows of red-soled Louboutins, are lined neatly like an exhibition of fine luxury goods. Iman’s image and style is the reason why she received her first client within an hour of launching her service and the reason she is an object of obsession on the Pakistani social scene.
Born in Boston and raised in Islamabad, Pakistan, Iman attended a prestigious international school, largely attended by Americans (thus the accent she carries) and at 17 she moved to London to complete her A-levels, going on to study philosophy at King’s College. It was when she moved to London that her colourful journey in fashion began. “I worked for big glossies like Tatler and Vogue” she explains, “I also worked for in the press department for Brown’s and Liberty of London”, “I basically did the whole circuit of fashion.” “Growing up in Pakistan gave me this love for colour and texture” she tells me, “I love fine jewellery and I never wear all black.”
