What UMAR KHAN does

UMAR KHAN is a privately-held, Lahore-based luxury fashion design studio operating under a single eponymous brand owned by designer Umar Khan. The company designs and sells hand-crafted bridal wear (lehenga cholis, pishwas, gowns), couture/formals, ready couture, luxury pret, and menswear (sherwanis, jackets, waistcoats, kurtas) using embellishments such as crystals, dabka, resham, pearls, sequins, and semi-precious stones on premium fabrics including jamawar, raw silk, and net.

The business runs on a direct-to-consumer model through two channels: a Shopify e-commerce storefront with worldwide shipping and an appointment-based physical showroom at Cavalry Ground, Lahore Cantt, accessed via phone or WhatsApp. Product pages display no public pricing, indicating a quote-based sales motion rather than fixed retail. Customer acquisition is driven by Instagram and WhatsApp, with an email newsletter for collection drops. The brand organizes its portfolio across multiple sub-brand collections (Inara, Allure, Aourora, Lueur, Lumiere, Despina, Isleen for womenswear; Dawn, Ali Ansari, Zaviyar Ejaz, Ali Rehman, Avyannaa for menswear) and has produced international runway content, including the Norway 2025 collection, as a brand-building effort beyond its domestic base.
