It’s been 25 years since the fashion industry was first introduced to the phenomenon known as Imran Qureshi. To mark this turning point, we decided to give a bit of a twist to the obligatory interview: we had Imran interviewed by his own choice of journalist. That might not be how most people know famous fashion designer Rizwan Beyg as, but he was in actuality the perfect choice. Not only has he been a much-admired columnist of an English weekly, but he also happens to be great friends with our anniversary boy, and that is how an otherwise straightforward interview turned into a friendly chitchat session.

He sits at the table with his soft brown eyes and floppy hair and I look carefully for gray but there is none. He claims to be 47 but the face and slight build belie his claim. 25 years later Imran Qureshi is still very much a force to contend with and as the founding father of choreography in Pakistan is very much a part of the who’s who in fashion.

A thousand words cannot convey what a delicate rose can, to win someone’s heart. When all words fail, a fragrant bouquet is the best gift one can give to a loved one. It can even do wonders for the ill. Whatever the occasion, say it with flowers.

Flowers have their own significance in every culture. In the west, flowers of various colours are chosen for different occasions. White flowers given to the bride and groom is an old tradition, while red flowers signify love and affection. When condoling with someone, a person usually presents the family with a white bouquet.
