Wiqar Ali Khan
This charming, tall, notoriously dapper and smart Khan looks somebody straight out of a GQ cover. Wiqar Ali Khan, Swat born and London raised kid has always been on covers and magazines because of his fashion scene. He got his lucky break at the age of 16 as a model, from there he moved to being a VJ, a producer, director, a seasoned actor and a brand ambassador for numerous brands. Wiqar also served as the Vice President of MTV for a couple of years, the same channel he started off his career as a VJ with. He first created swirls in the industry when caught conversing articulately in English and equally fluent Pashto. Wiqar has always pulled off crispy fashion so effortlessly that whenever we think of style icons of Pakistan, this name always shimmers on the very peak.
Imran Khan
Justin Trudeau who? Our very own Prime Minister, Imran Khan is a complete heart-throb. Even at the age of 65, the man still puts on anything and the next morning you wake up to find it a trending. From V-necks in the 80’s to Peshawari Chappals with Jeans and Polos, from Leather Jackets over Shalwar Kameez to rocking a bridal wear, Imran Khan has been the pioneer of a lot of fashion statements in Pakistan. Back in the days when the captain used to play in the field, he was considered the most eligible bachelor of his time. He had a huge fan following and majority of them were his loyal army of female admirers.
The chief used to wear colored shalwar kameez before taking the office, but has now settled for the mostly modest statesmen like white shalwar kameez over which he is usually seen carrying a leather jacket – his signature.
Mahira khan
