Khadijah Shah

Khadijah Shah is the creative force behind ÉLAN FACON; a company that houses luxury brand Élan and upcoming high street retail brand Zaha. Khadijah inherited her passion for design at an early age and after completing her BSc with honors at the London School of Economics, she returned to Pakistan and started setting up the atelier known as ÉLAN. As the creative director of ÉLAN, Khadijah is respected for her combination of intricate embellishments, flattering silhouettes and attention to detail. Each collection is conceived with glamour, elegance and versatility in mind. In March 2012, Khadijah launched her debut seasonal unstitched printed lawn collection which is now considered the most anticipated lawn in Pakistan each season. In 2014, Élan added to its portfolio ÉLAN Vital, a casual avant-garde ready to wear diffusion line and also officially launched an e-store where customers from across the globe can purchase Élan's Luxury Prét Collections and Élan Vital. In December 2014 Khadijah co-founded the mega high street retailer Sapphire and in 2018 she established ZAHA a trendy high street brand for the modern spirited woman. Arguably the only designer in Pakistan with experience across the fashion spectrum and labels with far reaching audiences Khadijah has placed Elan FACON at the helm of Pakistan’s burgeoning fashion industry.
