Hotstepper of the Week
Kamiar Rokni

 
Kamiar Rokni has arrived and how! After the Karma split became the talk of the town, Maheen Kardar and Saad Ali went about consolidating their label and Kamiar (Kami for those who know him well) was the one starting from square one again. A flurry of questions started doing the rounds of the fashion circuit: Does he have business sense? Will he be able to handle retail? Where will he stock? Kamiar's future became the topic of much debate and discussion. The talk must have hurt, but fashion insiders knew that Kami's future in fashion could never be in doubt - he is too talented for that.
Joining hands with his cousin Tia, Kami has struck out on his own. His new ready to wear collection is selling like hotcakes at The Boulevard in Lahore and his aesthetic is perfect for his clothes to fly off the racks in Karachi too where he is stocking at the prestigious multi-label retail store Ensemble.
Launched in true style by Zeba Hussain and her daughter Shehrnaz at the stores swanky premises, Kamiar Rokni is a welcome addition to the store. And Kami is more than capable of holding his own alongside Indian fashion giants like Rohit Bal, Tarun Tahiliani and Ritu Kumar and their Pakistani counterparts like fashion icons Faiza Samee and Shamaeel and the cutting edge Sadaf Malaterre.
So here's Instep saying: 'Welcome Kami!' at the top of our lungs. You become a hotstepper when you follow your heart, but put your money where your mouth is and give it your all. And Kamiar Rokni has done precisely that!
