Malaika Arora Khan forays into fashion designing

After successfully donning several hats as Bollywood’s item girl,

TV judge, film producer and model, Malaika Arora Khan is all set to debut as fashion designer with e-commerce platform theclosetlabel.com. Currently she is shooting a campaign for her soon-to-debut online fashion label. Though people advised her to start a maternity line after her son’s birth, when the holding company, Label Corp proposed a clothing line, she jumped at the idea.

And though audience and people associate her with a sexy and fashion diva image, she wants to design clothes that would suit every shape and size rather than making clothes for model-like figures. The red halter swimsuit, for example, comes with ruched detailing along the sides to disguise stubborn tummy fat. The lounge wear – floor-skimming skirts and hot shorts in jersey – feature reinforced panels that suck in muffin tops and love handles. Then there’s a cotton night shirt featured which is tailored crisply enough to double up as a tunic by day. A black maxi dress metamorphoses for every occasion with a clever juggling of accessories, which are also part of the line.
