The Next Fashion Mogul of Pakistan

As unconventional as this might sound, it’s not his designs that pulled me to Imran Mughal at first, inviting me to explore more about him. When I found out about his interest in Urdu Literature, I sent him two pieces of work that I personally admire a lot. It was Selected Short Stories, by Amrita Pritam, along with Selected Short Stories, by Ismat Chughtai, that I sent to him only to hear back exactly what I had been hoping for.
