A famous retail name has helped Rochdale fashion designer and NES entrepreneur Ismat Shanaz launch her business on the road to success.
Ismat has a degree in fashion design and her final graduation collection was sponsored by George at Asda, and then selected for the NEC Clothes Show in December. Through sponsorship from George at Asda, Ismat also produced a visual showcard of her collection to market her business.
Ismat offers a unique collection of garments which are high designer and ready to wear. She has already worked for Urban Voice designing outfits for a music artist and is exhibiting at the Art 04 event sponsored by the North West Arts Council.
Ismat plans to rent a studio and buy a sewing machine and fabrics. She also has big plans for her business: “I aim to sell my brand in selected department stores across the UK, and ultimately launch my own boutiques in Paris, Milan and New York.”
