Following the success of her "Imran Khan" kurta which has become an equivalent to the Che Guevara designs in Pakistan, her stint with a Bollywood kurta has become a rage with film actors world over.
"I have been a huge fan of Indian film actors and Bollywood remains famous even across the border. In this 'Tribute to Bollywood' kurta, I have carefully hand-picked thirty legendary actors and collated all into one design," Maheen told PTI during her couture exhibition at the Pakistan Fashion Design Council (PFDC) store.
Maheen, who is known for her trendy bridal styles, has in her latest collection also brought in variations in different bridal jumpsuits, restoring the traditional element and bridal accessories. Under the label Karma, she has also introduced a fun concept of 'Mini Me' in the city.
"With 'Mini Me', mothers can dress up their daughters on wedding ceremonies and other festivities. The designs displayed here are a mix of modern and contemporary clothes with hints of Islamic patterns. Its long kurtas with ghararas and shararas and colours like black and white, unheard in the Indian bridal wear lines are something we have set to offer in my couture designs," says Maheen.
"Fashion is about revival. Nothing really goes away, it keeps coming back, evolves with time. Importantly, fashion must be functional. And all my designs have a flair for the dramatic in them," says the designer whose label 'Karma' introduced western style clothing in Pakistan.
