In the recent years, I have heard nothing but horrible things about Nomi Ansari, some stories even from the guppans here about their bad experiences with him.
Usually when I need to inquire about an outfit on any facebook group, I send out a message to the person who’s name is listed under the admin. I have done that with pretty much every group, from Karma to HSY, and have always gotten a reply back.. and if it’s not the right person to be contacted, I have been told quite politely who I should be writing to. So I was looking at Nomi’s group a few days ago and noticed an email listed there. I am not a fan of his work but there were a couple of formals I really liked so I decided to email them for a quote. Days later when I still didn’t get a reply, I went back to the group today and messaged the ‘admin’ for a quote. Now there were two names listed there, one was his own and another one of some mulghalar chick. Usually the designers themselves don’t even write back, and the other people listed in the group are the assistants or people who they work with, so I messaged this Mulghular asking her if she could quote me on the formals.
A few hours later, I get this from Nomi Ansari himself:

I wrote him a reply back and let’s just say, screw him and his business. If you don’t want your ‘friends’ to get messaged, why the hell are they even listed on the group? There’s no way I am going to waste money on clothes made by someone who cannot even respect his customers.. a concept obviously lost on him
