Pakistan Fashion Super Model Iraj Manzoor

With an extraordinary photogenic face and a body to die for, the dusky beauty from Karachi is currently a hot favourite of all the top fashion glossies and a must in all the good fashion shows. Her great walk and an hour glass figure allows her to transform and fit each designer's personality. Iraj has a prestigious Head and Shoulders sdvertisement under her belt, where she was selected from a large number of hopefuls.


Streamlined five foot nine , she is one of the most sought-after models - in the business. Iraj is both well loved and well hated - in the modelling and fashion set. Those who don't care much accuse her of being arrogant , difficult and snobbish. Those who do , say she's sexy , sensuous and smart. And Iraj.....well , Iraj just likes to keep them all guessing.

When Iraj Manzoor saunters down the ramp no one looks bored. And neither does she. Iraj likes to get noticed ; the appraisal is welcomed and almost demanded. She knows she has it. And expects everyone else to know it too. Iraj's face has adorned the cover of nearly every fashion magazine in Pakistan.

Pakistan Fashion Super Model Vaneeza Ahmed

She’s got the most refreshing face in the business and one of the most amiable dispositions. In the field of modeling ruled by catty tactics.... she is the cattiest of them all. She’s ambitious - and she has no qualms about admitting it. She travels back and forth, shuttling between her hometown Lahore and the city that promises fulfillment of dreams - Karachi. And by god she knows that this exercise is worth her while. Vaneeza Ahmed, the Lahori supermodel that gave the Karachi beaus a hard time - she’s got what it takes.... all that it takes, to get to where she is today.


From a fun indulgence at Kinnaird College as a student she launched herself in a career, she never thought to be hers. So, from modeling for Neelofer Shahid’s couture she went on to a photo shoot with the best in the business - Ather Shehzad the duo responsible for introducing some of the finest models today..... and the discovery of Vaneeza aka Vinny also falls to their credit.

That’s how the journey started for this charming splendor and along the way added accolades to list of merits. She left no stone unturned. From modeling to acting she did it all- played the leading lady in Jamal Shah’s controversial saga, graced the cover pages of the countries top publications off and on, went as far as Mauritius to prove her love for acting and of course sashayed down the catwalk with the grace of a swan- how many times? She has lost all count.

But one thing worth remembering is her role as ‘Dina’- in the movie Jinnah. She played the Quaid’s daughter and they say… she played it well. She's worked hard to get where she is today. She's come a long way in a very short time, and the way she's going, she'll go a long long way.

Pakistan Fashion Super Model Aaminah Haq

It has not been too long since Aaminah started modelling but one loses count as she names the magazines she has been printed in .......... She, Libas, Visage, Women's Own, Fashion Collection, Newsline. Then there have been catwalk experiences. No wonder then that she can afford to choose in terms of money and commitments. Designers are now ready to pay more to models who work with greater professionalism. " Its nice to be recognised " ............ Aaminah's identity is glowing and growing on the Lahore fashion scene, because she has been the opening model in so many shows.........


Aaminah's latest ventures to date include a TV play with Nusrat Thakhur which was aired in mid Dec 1997. Commercial for Star TV (Chan One). The signature model for Nilofer Shahid'z Chaughtai Collection which she took to Paris, appeared in Canada in the Fashion TV ad and also appeared in the french Cosmopolitan alongside interview and shoot.

Aaminah is as seriously into the profession as one can be in a place like Lahore. " I feel a model has to create a difference between being a clothes horse and a person showing off the designers product with elegance. A pout and a pretty face does not make a model out of a girl." Then what does? " You have to be careful of certain things. I make it a point to get a good night's sleep before a shoot or a show. I drink plenty of water and pay alot of attention to personal grooming. After all you can be only there for as long as you are capable of doing something dramatic to a designer dress."

Pakistani Fashion Designer - Umar Sayeed

One of the sad things to have happened to fashion in Pakistan is that in the process of accelerated commercialization it seems to have been ‘prostituted’. The new MBA degree that fashion designing has become and the freedom of easy entry (and exit) have collectively flooded the industry with new faces. This new crop of designers may have more exposure and formal training but the respectability and class that the older generation of designers has given to the Pakistani haute couture is not there anymore.

He doesn’t have an outlet because he is not an ambitious person and has been self-financed throughout his career. Living life to the fullest he feels content with whatever he has and doesn’t crave for more. But the quality is something he will never compromise upon. No matter even if he works at a miniscule level he will always remain in the top line of designers.

He is surely larger than the ‘divas’ for whom he designs but oozes no attitude that is directly associated with the latter. Complete candour is his style when he says that he is still unmarried and believes that he is better occupied in his own company and needs some space of his own. ‘How can you expect a person who can’t adjust properly with his own family to live the rest of his life with a stranger?’ He quizzes in his trademark style as we wrap the session.
