Fashion student and influencer Habiba Rahman takes us inside her closet
My personal style in three words
My personal style is comfy, girly and laidback
My favourite creation
I love each and everything I’ve ever made but I think my favourites have to be all the bucket hats I’ve made (just because I wear them so often); and the JW Anderson cardigan I made because it was a labour of love!
My top 5 wardrobe essentials
Sneakers with a platform because I’m tiny
A white chikankaari kurta; I can’t survive summer in Lahore without it. Plus, it can be dressed up or down in so many ways!
A pair of jeans that fit just the way you like it
A plain white tee
A plain white button down in a poplin cotton
My favourite vintage item
Everything I’ve inherited from my Dadi and Nani is so special to me. Recently my Nani gave me the most beautiful fully hand worked saree from her bridal trousseau. The best part is the kaam is all saccha so it looks brand new!
My top 5 shoe essentials
Definitely platform sneakers because they give me a sneaky bit of height!
A pair of Doc Martens; they go with everything ????
Some form of shiny high heels to survive shaadi season
High top Converse are another classic
And of course, a pair of khussas. All my favourites are from Khussa Mahal in Liberty, Lahore
My most prized possession
I don’t have a particular prized possession – it’s important not to get too attached to material things as they come and go.
