Naeem Khan on Dressing the FLOTUS and India’s Future in Luxury
Naeem Khan is one of the very few designers who can say he’s dressed Michelle Obama—and Lady Gaga—for high profile events. There’s no doubt Khan excels at creating red carpet dresses for women of all shapes and sizes to wear—but make no mistake, there’s a lot more to the Indian-born, American-based designer than just intricate bead work (though, certainly, there is that too).
At last night’s Fashion Talks at the French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF), Khan sat down with Pamela Golbin, the Chief Curator of Fashion and Textiles at Les Arts Décoratifs in Paris, to talk about everything from his Indian roots, to working for Halston—and of course dressing the First Lady.
