Designing legend Maheen Khan has become the latest person in the industry to criticise the Lux Style Awards.
Taking to Twitter, Khan said, “About the controversy surrounding Lux Style Awards. I have never understood and never will, what the benchmarks are for nominations. My personal concern is about the fashion category, a subject I know well, be it bridal, couture, pret, models or photography.”

She continued, “I cannot speak across the board but certainly in most cases, the criteria for fashion seems to be those houses who have multiple stores, for models and photographers those who are already well known and popular.”

Khan added that she would like to see the committee look behind the familiar curtain at the talent that is already here, but unrewarded. “Credence should be given for talent whether they are commercially successful or not. Let it be known I have always supported LSA always will as it is a valuable platform,” she said.

The 73-year-old rounded up her thoughts and said, “Please make LSA worthy of a standard that we can all look up to. I would also appreciate some transparency in the process. A list of the jurors and judges and their credentials maybe?”

Khan is not the first one to question this year’s LSA awards. Earlier, model Eman Suleman, who is known to speak up about social issues, has shared that she feels “no joy” in sharing a nomination for the Lux Style Awards with an “alleged harasser”.
