Stylist Nabila, who has often opted for Iraj in her more dramatic installations, explains, “I wouldn’t call Iraj a model. She is, rather, a creature of fashion, theatrical and enthralling. I don’t think Iraj, with her years of experience and complete ease on the catwalk, can be expected to just display clothes at fashion events. She is, in fact, often the single element who sets the mood for the whole show.” Snippets from Iraj Manzoor’s interview by Maliha Rehman published in Dawn Sunday Images.–Photos by Zeeshan Ghouri
