In
the Fall of 2000, Alia Khan was ready to launch her very own couture collection, which when released, opened to rave reviews at the Spring 2001 Bollywood Fashion Awards in New York. So successful were her designs, that Alia Khan became the only designer privileged to be invited to return for successive Bollywood Fashion events in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005.
In the following Spring of 2001 she introduced
her first brochure accompanied by her AsianAndaz.com
website, which was followed by the first South
Asian designer Haute Couture mail-order catalog
in the USA. Both the Alia Khan catalogue and asianandaz.com
website were immediate hits on both sides of the
Atlantic.
The popularity of Alia Khan’s designs lead
her to adding a stronger Western influence into
a growing number of her garments, which gained
her further acknowledgements, not only within the
South Asian market, but with a growing number of
people in the mainstream market as well. As a consequence,
she began combining some of the unique design traditions
of elegance from the East, with a strong Western
flare, to develop her brand new Collection The
Alia Khan Experience (T.A.K.E). Now offering buyers
and consumers everywhere a fresh, stylish and different “fashion
look”! |
