Fashion Icons with Fern Mallis: Naeem Khan

May 17, 2023


Please submit questions for the speakers in the Livestream chat starting on May 17 at approximately 7:30 pm ET.

Naeem Khan hails from India and a family who has been in the textile, beading and embellishment game for generations. His love of his culture and its heritage is realized in every dress he’s made, and he shares this heritage with the rest of the world.

Naeem celebrates the most beautiful elements of his India, the architecture, food, the spice, color, and craft and brings them together through his collections.

He learned from one of the best, when and at 18 years old he moved to the US to work for Halston. And what an education that was — at the cutting table and at Studio 54.

Naeem has dressed Royalty — from The Duchess of Cambridge — Kate Middleton to Queen Noor of Jordan, and when Barack Obama and Michelle Obama hosted Prime Minister Singh from India for their very first State Dinner … his dress for the First Lady took everyone’s breath away.

He’s also dressed major music and Hollywood superstars and continues to wow the fashion world with his exquisite designs.
