The notepad: Nadia Hussain

Established model, Nadia Hussain, jots down the models that inspired her to become the talented woman that she is today

Iraj Manzoor



Iraj has always been very close to me. Her inspiring attitude and value for hard work makes her stand out in a crowd.  She is passionate about her work, which she takes very seriously. Her dedication towards education and love for her career brings out a positive energy in her character. Iraj is the perfect example of a woman with beauty and brains, someone who prioritises education as an important way to grow in the industry.

Vaneeza Ahmad



Vaneeza Ahmad, also known as Vinny, has been a proverbial mother to me, and many others dear to her. She is one of my closest friends and a great inspiration. She has influenced me in different stages of my life. Her helpful advice and sincerity has helped me make many decisions. She continues to watch out for others and guide them with good wisdom. At the time of the tax crisis in Pakistan, she guided people to avoid unnecessary trouble. Her hard work and way of pursuing her career is one of my greatest inspirations.

Aliya Latif



I did not have many chances to work with Aliya Latif, also known as Bibi, when I first stepped into the fashion industry. However, I was always compared to her in many ways and she soon became a mysterious inspiration for me. She has a charismatic appeal that adds attraction and grace to her appearance. Her shoots with Tapu Javeri captured the perfect image of a woman with class, which inspires me to grow in my own career.

Tanya Shafi



I have always been inspired by Tanya Shafi’s fashion sense and graceful style. Her grace and her easy-going personality contribute to her undeniable charm. Her joyful nature, brilliant fashion sense, and strong family background make her a great source of inspiration.

Naomi Campbell



Naomi Campbell has got an irresistible aura that enables her to transform into anything she wants in front of the camera. She is like a swan, who has the ability to look great, no matter what she has to pull off. She rocks her look with confidence and charisma. She has the ability to look hot and classy at the same time.

Cindy Crawford



Cindy Crawford is the ultimate beauty. She is someone every woman wishes to be. When you think of beauty, you automatically picture Crawford’s mole that sits perfectly on her flawless face. Even though I am not a big fan of beauty spots, Crawford’s mole had defined a new image of beauty marks in my eyes. I would not call her the most inspiring model, but Crawford’s name is one that has been a big part of my childhood.
