British Vogue Editor Dolly Jones summed up her collection saying “Gorgeous dresses for dressing up in downtown New York with just enough of the genuine Indian magic that designers all over the world try to recreate.”Mumbai designer Azeem Khan counts Hillary Clinton and Naomi Cambell among his elite clientele. And why not? His designs are top-of-the-line.

The area of Colaba at the Cathedral doted tip of Mumbai resembles both a fishing village, a Navy installment from Rudyard Kipling days and a burgeoning mix of fashion boutiques and art galleries. Those who live there like to think of the neighborhood as COHO-Colaba and Cuffe - Parade - similar to New York's trendy but funky Soho area.

Fashion designer Azeem Khan is one of the innovators of Mumbai's Coho, with his cool and snazzy boutique next to the Colaba Post Office, and with his background of a being a real New York City Soho inhabitant, living and working downtown.

"Our family S.U.Zariwala has had its operations here for three generations. My grandmother started it off by selling embroidered hankies door to door," laughs the charming 30 years-old designer, sitting upstairs in the office of his boutique. "My grandfather Shansheed Khan bought a paan-beedi shop in this very same place and I have kept the same wooden and brass enhanced door."

While S.U.Shansheed Khan changed his name to the generic embroidery and sequin Zariwala title, it sparked the neighborhood Zariwala art, which thrives in nearby shops and studios. Azeem's father's work is known in the Indian film industry with his famous sequined sarees draping Nargis Dutt to every other heroine in the movies.

"Our company S.U.Zariwala is currently India's number one in exports to Italy, France and New York and every year, business increases by 25 per cent," says Azeem. "Most of the companies in the west don't want to deal with Indians, maybe because they are so laid back and can't always deliver. My three brothers carefully supervise all the work, one living in America, the other in Europe and one is involved in the manufacturing unit."

Despite his illustrious family lineage, Azeem Khan was not always going to be a designer. He originally studied medicine and architecture, and said his father did not pressure him to get in the family line but allowed him to "Find myself".

Azeem "found" himself going to New York City in 1989 and studying at F.I.T. He received the "Design of the year" award there in 1992 and got a scholarship to study at the prestigious Parsons School of Design.

"I am basically not happy in one place, and I like to jump from place to place," said Azeem. "Parsons is a private school. The competition made me focus on what I'm good at. I got on the Dean's list and then Geoffrey Beene offered me a job as an Assistant Designer."

Azeem became totally 'down town" from going to school down town and living the New York Soho life, as he worked for this well known designer. He said that after two years working for Beene, he considered staying back and getting U.S citizenship but Mumbai beckoned. His father's store represented yet another place for his restless creative spirit to flow.

"I wanted to make the store like downtown New York, a place for art and fashion," said Azeem. "The architect Rahul Malhotra worked with me on this project capturing a special look."

The designer's Miamoto sports coupe is parked in front, the Kohli fisherwomen appear to float past this stone and brass store, blending into the environment. In fact, the boutique is so much in sync with COHO, that it is the only non-art gallery participating in the monthly "COHO Art Night", where everyone is invited to go gallery hopping. Azeem Khan's store is a stop on the art journey.

"I like to work hard and I party hard also at night," laughs Azeem, whose good nature is apparent through an exuberant "Split personality of work and play"

Azeem's international designing skills were earlier demonstrated on super model Naomi Campbell when he designed an elaborate Indian bustier for her saree when she did a fashion shoot in Dubai. He also designed the clothes for Italian jewelry designer Marina Bulgari's launch at the Taj Hotel in October.

"Bulgari contacted me to be a partner and I was restricted to five sets," said Azeem. "I did the show for fun and deigned clothing that wouldn't be astonishing, to compliment the jewelry. I was really surprised to later receive many calls and requests to buy those clothes."

Azeem Khan's first show in India, the Diwali '98 Collection, was held on October 10 in his boutique. It was in his words, "Very casual, like Soho, where you don't sit on a chair - so different."

He elaborates, "I started with ten outfits and in a burst of creativity, designed 26 outfits for the two models, Jaswinder Sachdev and Pooja Mishra," said Azeem. "I like doing things like that, subtle and beautiful because it's just not a matter of buying clothes."

It was a special "downtown" style, lounging on the stone slabs, sipping foreign champagne and wines-to have what Azeem prefers, "A happy buzz". His second show held at The Taj, was in general opinion, "The show of the millenium".

"I wanted my show to be an experience and full of drama, with the models draping the clothing differently, like wrapping the materials around their head," said Azeem.

"Sarees are very sexy but don't show anything. I teach my client how to wrap the saree. You must wear my clothes with an attitude, and appreciate the bizarre. Sometimes at a party, if I see a woman wearing one of my designs, she might apologize that she has not worn it with the same flair that I intended. My training with Geoffrey Beene taught me to mix all the styles to one to make one statement."

The collection was a dazzling array of the glittering and intricate Zariwala work and painted designs that are clearly unique. The price range of Rs. 15000 to Rs. 40000 appeared not too over the top.

Although Azeem has been asked to teach at NIFT, he has declined the academic route. But he does offer some advice for new designers. "My advice to young designers is to never copy. Always be original. Everyone has a certain style and you must bring that out."

That is the look - confident, different and full of style that Azeem Khan has now bridged from downtown New York - to downtown Mumbai.

His grandmother started selling embroidered hankies door to door and his grandfather Shansheed Khan had bought a paan-beedi shop in that very same place where he now stocks his collections. While S.U. Shansheed Khan changed his name to the generic embroidery and sequin Zariwala title, it sparked the neighborhood Zariwala art, which thrives in nearby shops and studios.

Neither claim can easily be made given the rich competition.Mohammad Amir, a left-arm pace bowler, reveres Wasim Akram. Over 2007 and 2008, he also emerged, improbably young still, as a hot pace prospect. Even before he went to England on an U-19 tour, he had been picked out as a special talent by Akram himself at a pace camp he oversaw in Lahore in May 2007. By 2010, he had become the hottest pace bowling prospect around the world - but within months his career was in ruins following charges of spot-fixing.The least-hyped but most successful and assured Pakistan pace product of the last few years, Umar Gul is the latest in Pakistan's assembly-line of pace-bowling talent. He had played just nine first-class matches when called up for national duty in the wake of Pakistan's poor 2003 World Cup. On the flat tracks of Sharjah, Gul performed admirably, maintaining excellent discipline and getting appreciable outswing with the new ball.

He isn't express but bowls a very quick heavy ball and his exceptional control and ability to extract seam movement marks him out. Further, his height enables him to extract bounce on most surfaces and from his natural back of a length, it is a useful trait. His first big moment in his career came in the Lahore Test against India in 2003-04. Unfazed by a daunting batting line-up, Gul tore through the Indian top order, moving the ball both ways off the seam at a sharp pace. His 5 for 31 in the first innings gave Pakistan the early initiative which they drove home to win the Test.

Unfortunately, that was his last cricket of any kind for over a year as he discovered three stress fractures in his back immediately after the Test. The injury would have ended many an international career, but Gul returned, fitter and sharper than before in late 2005. He returned in a Pakistan shirt against India in the ODI series at home in February 2006 and in Sri Lanka showed further signs of rehabilitation by lasting both Tests but it was really the second half of 2006, where he fully came of age. Leading the attack against England and then the West Indies as Pakistan's main bowlers suffered injuries, Gul stood tall, finishing Pakistan's best bowler.

Since then, as Mohammad Asif and Shoaib Akhtar have floundered, Gul has become Pakistan's spearhead and one of the best fast bowlers in the world. He is smart enough and good enough to succeed in all three formats and 2009 proved it: he put together a patch of wicket-taking in ODIs, on dead pitches in Tests (including a career-best six-wicket haul against Sri Lanka) and established himself as the world's best Twenty20 bowler, coming on after the initial overs and firing in yorkers on demand.

He had hinted at that by being leading wicket-taker in the 2007 World Twenty20; over the next two years he impressed wherever he went, in the IPL for the Kolkatta Knight Riders and in Australia's domestic Twenty20 tournament. Confirmation came on the grandest stage: having poleaxed Australia in a T20I in Dubai with 4-8, he was the best bowler and leading wicket-taker as Pakistan won the second World Twenty20 in England. The highlight was 5-6 against New Zealand, the highest quality exhibition of yorker bowling. He is not a one-format pony, however, and will remain a crucial cog in Pakistan's attack across all formats.
