Pakistani fashion designer Maheen Khan’s innovative design has landed in Hollywood in an upcoming fairytale movie ‘Cindrella’.
In a recently released trailer of Disney movie ‘Cinderella’, you may notice the intricately embroidered coats worn by the male leads. That’s Maheen Khan’s handiwork. Khan has been known for her intrusive details about traditional embellishments and embroidery which she does under the brand name of ‘Gulabo’.
Collaboration between Khan and BAFTA-award winning costume designer Diane Holmes has also formed ‘House of Embroidery’.
According to TheKarachiite, Khan met Diane when she started assisting her for the creation of Ratti Jinnah and Fatima Jinnah’s wardrobes for the film, ‘Jinnah’. It was then that Diane saw the potential of embroidery work in Pakistan and through ‘House of Embroidery’ started commissioning embellishments for costume and set-designs all over.
They came together as a team for the first time with costume embellishments for the BBC serial ‘The Aristocrat’. More recent projects include embroidery work for ‘Alexander’, ‘Snow White and the Huntsmen’ and Angelina Jolie’s ‘Maleficent’.
