ALL TIED UP was my first entrepreneurial venture which was an extension of the final year thesis work I initiated while learning how to produce fabric at the Textile Institute of Pakistan. We created a range of menswear products from a basic design concept to a finished collection.
What started with bi-annual exhibitions soon mushroomed into a one stop shop for menswear accessories. ALL TIED UP was nominated by the AllWorldNetwork awards in 2012 for being one of the fastest entrepreneurial businesses in Asia.
