Maria Belal is an determined young Pakistani designer with vision. A graduate of the Pakistan School of Fashion Design, Maria launched her label ‘Maria B’ in Lahore few years back. Right after the fashion show in Pakistan, she opened the doors to her new women's boutique in Karachi. Her cotton shalwar kameez, choori daar pajama, and embroidered evening wear, all meticulously cut and stitched, were quickly snapped up by trendy Lahoris. Maria’s main goal is to export her dresses abroad – “I want to send haute-couture items such as evening wear, bridal wear etc. to UK/Europe, and then eventually to the US/Canada, Singapore and Australia.†She remains impervious by the global competition and says “you have to aim high – and I do want to get to New York, Milan and Paris one day.†|
