On why she started her line
Fashion has always been a dream of mine since I was a little girl. I loved to understand how women dressed and how fabrics worked on different cuts and designs. Since I was 12 years old I started designing and making garments and by 16 I managed to enter the industry.

On the celebrities on her wishlist
I have a great admiration on strong, determined and sophisticated women you are in love with themselves. I admire Queen Rania [of Jordan], Michelle Obama and celebrities like Beyoncé who is a lover of fashion and art. I also admire a lot of the celebrities from my own country like Lizsha James who is definitely a beautiful woman to work with.
Who is the Shaazia Adam woman?

The Shaazia Adam woman is a woman who knows fashion, she knows her priorities and she knows where she is going. Strong and determined, feminine yet sophisticated. This woman works, she can be a mom yet she has fun when she dresses up.

On where she gets style inspiration 

I find inspiration primarily from women around me, and then I search this women in art pieces and sometimes I translate their stories through architecture and art history.

What do you believe should be the foundation of every woman’s wardrobe?

I believe that in the times of today, women work and still have a social life, their wardrobes must be functional but different. Never leave behind the black dress of course!
