The two Pakistani models are all set to walk the ramp at Milan Fashion Week.
As we write this, models Mushk Kaleem and Alicia Khan will be seen on the lofty runway of Milan Fashion Week (MFW). Mushk is already en route to one of the world’s most fashionable cities while Alicia is possibly busy packing.
Both models are going to be seen at Milan Fashion Week on the evening of September 21st, walking for Italian designer Stella Jean.
“I am excited but I am also humbled,” enthused Mushk, speaking exclusively to Images. “Milan is one of the world’s most prestigious fashion hubs and it is an honor to be part of the show and to represent my country there.”
According to our sources, Northern handicraft techniques will be seen in Stella’s collection that will be showcased at MFW. Amidst a pool of international models, two of our very own will be seen wearing the clothes.
“We were all told to send our portfolios,” explains Mushk. “It was a long process because we had to send in very detailed measurements. There is a certain standard size and height that has to be met for a model to be accepted into the fashion week. We also sent images from the ramp, fashion shoots and videos. Then, finally, Alicia and I got selected.”
Initially, though, four models had been shortlisted. “Things were confusing for a while,” reveals Alicia. “I think the other two girls thought that nothing would work out and they backed out from MFW. Even I was not sure that I would end up going but I wanted to give it my best shot.”
“I changed my schedule accordingly, just in case I would luck out. I didn’t want to have any regrets. I am so glad that I made the effort – I had to make visits to the Italian embassy, figure out documentation, send in my portfolio. But it has all worked out.”
From L-R: Alicia Khan, Farwa Kazmi, Fouzia Aman and Mushk Kaleem, “It’s a great opportunity and I want it to be a recurring one,” says Mushk. “Let’s hope that everything works out.”
