Launched in early 2009 by Moeed Yousaf, Muse is a new contemporary womenswear fashion line. The label’s philosophy is to make clothes with modern lines using luxurious fabrics and hand-embellishment with motifs inspired by contemporary design. The idea for Muse was born in Paris, with a desire to bring a new aesthetic to Pakistan. Upon his return to the country, Moeed teamed up with Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture graduate Faryal Aftab as co-creative director and together they launched their flagship Muse outlet in Lahore and also stock in Karachi at the PFDC’s multi-brand retail outlet. Muse showcased their Autumn/Winter 2010/2011 womenswear Prêt-à-porter collection at the debut PFDC Sunsilk Fashion Week in February this year, inspired by the aesthetic of the 1940’s era which favored tailored separates, high-waisted pants and skirts and glamorous belted dresses.
