Fashion Forecast 2000 (Women's Own January 2000 Issue)

Tazeen Hasan started her label, Tazeen Hasan & Eastern Values some seven years ago in 1992. From the beginning, her focus was on clean cuts and simple lines. Even now, her emphasis continues to be on sleek cuts and silhouettes with minimum embellishment.

Catering to an exclusive clientele, presently Tazeen has outlets in Karachi and Lahore, indicating her journey in the fashion arena during the past few years. Dealing with womens wear, Pret-a-Porter and Haute Couture, Tazeen's designs are reflective of the coming times.

"Silver is predominantly the colour of the season. With Icy Blues and Frosty Lilacs also being some of the designer favourites. Glitter in any form whether in terms of fabric or embroidery is reigning supreme. Fabrics are stretchy, soft and very feminine like Mesh and Lamies. Not to forget the modd, which is opulent, very festive and romantic."

Out of the closet (The News on Sunday - October 18, 1998)

From romance to routine, a dinner plays an important role in almost every aspect of our lives. Hence such an important occasion which can make or break anything from a vow to a deal, calls for fuss and detail. And it all begins with the wardrobe. Decent dinnerwear that creates a favourable impression is as rate as a piece of art at a throwaway price. And Tazeen Hasan certainly brings a rare thing closer. No stranger to the cutting table, she designs for the well heeled woman who never gets it wrong.

Her new dinner line has outfits that rely on the fall. Sensual georgettes and cascading crepes give a flowing touch to structure shalwar kameez. Night hues like deep blues, basic blacks and charcoal greys make the line cut for dinner. While her embellishments don't steal the focus from an outfit and blend in to create harmony. Using tonal or undestated embroidery as a medium, Tazeen paints a picture that is sensed deeply and leaves a mark.
