The emperor of royal sartorial splendor and flotus style, Naeem Khan

True Crime, Fashion and Passion

The emperor of royal sartorial splendor and flotus style, Naeem Khan, has an eye for elegance and everything he touches becomes a piece of art. He knows how to combine his limitless ideas, colors, fabrics, and beautiful women perfectly. His life and his work are a testament to his journey and all that he has learned along the way. Dressing first ladies like Betty Ford and style icon Michelle Obama more than 68 times, Naeem has the expertise of a couturier, an innate magical ability to make every woman feel like royalty and look like a princess. So many designers just create clothing as something to wear but when Naeem creates, it's something much deeper. His gowns and glittery pieces of art sparkle and shine almost as brightly as his famous clientele. His training is part of family legacy, from the love they swathed him in, to the lessons in textiles and regal rituals that are deeply embedded in all his creations. Naeem took his expertise and set out to follow his dreams, traveling to New York at a young age. As luck and fashion history would have it, this restless wide-eyed wanderer landed in the showroom of Halston. A young designer's dream came true working with one of the world's most famous designers, cutting and draping silks, satins, and chiffons. In the daytime Naeem worked in an atelier that was vibrantly creating fashion art with the likes of Andy Warhol, Pat Cleveland, & Victor Hugo and danced the night away at studio 54. Fashion is not just frivolous and fabulous for Naeem, it is a language he speaks and a VIP pass into the world of philanthropy. Naeem's not someone who just sees everything as beautiful, he consciously contributes to making the world more beautiful. As an ambassador for kindness, grace, and compassion, Naeem has traveled the world inspiring a journey of hope and sharing positivity with so many.
