Dr.M | 7 years ago | Reply @ BrainBro..Nomi Ansari is famous for his ultra colourful traditional and bridal dresses. That is his forte, not western styled couture. If anything, his love of bright colors and blending them into ethnic and traditionally styled lehengas and ghararas etc is quite, quite distinct from western couture.
Dr. Digital | 7 years ago | Reply He does not know about the well dressed person in Pakistan. But, certainly I know the worst dressed person... And that's him.
