Through LADIESFUND®, I was able to find a buyer for my ‘I ♥ Pakistan t-shirts.’ Today, we source a variety of merchandise to vendors because of the connections we’ve made through LADIESFUND®. I also was paired with mentor Pomme Gohar who helped me refine my line and now my kameezes are sold at many multibrand stores throughout Pakistan.
Pomme Amina Gohar is a fashion icon, she was the first Pakistani model to model Paris runways for a French designer. She is the CEO of her event design company Phenomena and is known for choreography style savvy events.
