SAMEEN R. RIZVI
Sameen R. Rizvi comes from a close-knit family of six. She says:
“Our house is usually full of people, food, laughter and varying opinions - a fantastic Punjabi riot at its best! My professional interests got the best of both my parents; my mother’s creative aesthetic and my father’s legal acumen. I have a keen interest in Pakistani politics and the law, but I’ll often be caught sketching, hunting for fabric and discussing designs with my mother. I am currently preparing for my LLM while also helping my mother with her clothing label, Jamdaani. Fiercely loyal and determined -- once I’ve committed to something and set my mind to it, I’ll ensure its completion with absolute perfection.”
How would you describe your personal style?
An ever-evolving mix of both the classic and eclectic! I love to play with colours and mix high- end pieces with high-street scores.
What is your go-to source for style inspiration?
There isn’t any.
If you could bring any international store to Pakistan, which would it be?
Zara.
What is your absolute favourite accessory to wear?
Statement necklaces and sunglasses, and I think a pair of good shades can complete any outfit.
What are summer must-haves for any girl’s wardrobe?
A pair of well-tailored jeans, a white collared shirt and sunglasses.
Your favourite coffee-shop or restaurant in Lahore?
I’m currently bored of them all and am hoping for something new to open up soon!
What are the top five things on your wish list for this season?
Don’t really have a wish list for material things. I am, however, desperately looking for a pair of good boot-cut jeans!
