Hotstepper of the Week
Zahir Rahimtoola

 
Pakistan Fashion Week may be tempting designers with foreign buyers but ahead of the game, as always, Zahir Rahimtoola has relaunched Labels as Pakistan's own, very first multi label boutique in Karachi. Last week's launch brought designers Maheen, Deepak Perwani, Samyra Rashid, Maheen Karim, Zara Shahjahan, Nayna and Labels' in house brought young spark Anisa onboard, with a promise of Sonya Battla joining the troupe in December after PFW.

With his wife Sheherzad's fabulous diamond jewellery on the same floor and a café (Coffee Day) down below, Labels will prove to be a shopper's paradise. Zahir is Pakistan's first and currently only fashion retailer and Labels has blossomed as a fabulous one-stop-shop for over-enthusiastic fashionistas. The man has a vision and he's putting it to brilliant use. Also on the Advisory Board of PFW, Zahir credits "the spirit of Pakistan Fashion Week" with the positive changes at Labels. "If fashion week wasn't happening, I doubt that I would be able to get these designers on board," he told Instep.
 
Here's to Zahir Rahimtoola for having enough faith in fashion to feel the spirit - and more importantly, act on it. He is our hotstepper of the week and ladies, you should be hotstepping to Labels right now!
