Naeem Khan’s designs are always on point. He never fails to create dresses for girls who are not afraid to stand out and to be who they are.
Born in Cumbala Hills of Mumbai, Naeem Khan is a New York based designer whose designs have been donned by people like Eva Longoria, Michelle Obama, Princess Aga Khan, Leighton Meester, Beyonce and Brooke Shields.
The designer is currently married to model turned jewelry designer Ranjana Khan. Khan’s designs have also taken over the silver screen by storm with his designs spotted on shows like Sex and the City and Dream Girls.
Naeem’s undying love for clothes comes from his grandfather Shamsuddin Khan who was in the embroidery business in the early 1930s making clothes for the member of India’s royal families.
Khan’s career started in New York when his parents took notice of his love for clothes and encouraged him to pursue a career in fashion design. He went to New York to attend the Fashion Institute of Technology but never made it through there.
However, it wasn’t over for Naeem Khan. He got lucky when he went to the US along with his father to a meeting with Halston about exporting embroidery.
Naeem instantly felt a connection with Halston and the legendary fashion designer asked Khan if he’d like to work with him. Overjoyed, Khan let go of his plans to study at a fashion school and accepted the offer right away and then there was no looking back for him ever since then.
It was like a dream come true for the twenty year old Khan when he became an apprentice for Halston.
In October 2009, Naeem’s collection for HSN was launched by the name, TIMELESS by Naeem Khan. The collection was so successful that it was sold out moments after it was launched.
The immensely successful line consists of separates and cocktail dress sold exclusively by HSN. An extension to the line was also launched in November 2011 called the Tissavel Faux Fur Line which included vests, scarves, coats and hats.
It is also interesting to note that Naeem Khan’s first love may be designing clothes but he loves cooking with his wife equally as much.
That’s because, in his opinion, creating clothes and cooking is synonymous. The ingredients at disposal may be the same but the end result is completely unique.
