Maheen Khan is definitely one of the most brilliant people that I’ve come across. She has a unique touch to her personality and has the most amazing nature. During my recent trip to Pakistan I got a chance to check out her line, Gulabo; which is mainly inspired by all things Pakistani, such as the streets, poetry, truck art etc. I love the concept, I think it’s such a brilliant way to combine fashion and certain elements of the country. Apart from that, she’s such a nice lady to just talk to, she’s definitely on top in my list of ‘People who inspire me’.
