Hotstepper of the week
Amir Adnan

 
 
If there's any designer in Pakistan who has a mind for business, it is Amir Adnan and the way his label is gaining momentum is just an indicator of where he's headed and how. Adnan recently made a grand debut at Dubai International Fashion Week, the grand part being that he managed to convince 94 year old Indian painter M.F. Hussain to walk out in the finale. It was most definitely a show stopper to write home about. But while many Pakistani designers are continuously showing all over the world, Amir Adnan actually has retail presence in Dubai, making his presence at DIFW all the more significant.He is currently retailing all his brands - Amir Adnan, AA Women, AA Business, AA Jewellery and FNKAsia - from 25 stores in Pakistan and Dubai and he has big plans of reviving the traditional and long forgotten crafts of his country and presenting them to the world. Even the AV that played during his show in Dubai run footage of Karachi's Orangi Town, revealing the 400 year old dying tradition to the world. For all this and more that he has up his sleeve, Amir Adnan is Instep's Hotstepper of the Week.
