Introduction:

Meet Javeria Khan, a visionary Pakistani fashion designer and artist, renowned as the creative force behind the Khatepoesh brand. Born in the vibrant city of Lahore, Pakistan. Javeria studied Art in Islam at New York University, shaping her
passion, and later refined her skills in Islamic geometric pattern making and calligraphy at the Kings School of Traditional Arts in London. Javeria continued to pursue her artistic journey at the National College of Arts, where she honed her skills in painting and illustration. Following the establishment of Khatepoesh in 2016, Javeria pursued a second master's degree in Design with

Creating “Khatepoesh”:

Transitioning from a painter to a trendsetter, Javeria embarked on a creative odyssey, giving birth to "Khatepoesh" after being profoundly moved by her exploration of calligraphy during her art school years. Derived from a poetic Farsi phrase, eloquently translating to "Grandiose fabrics and calligraphy," Khatepoesh emerges as a harmonious fusion, seamlessly marrying these two artistic realms. This harmonious alliance has remained the cornerstone of the brand's essence since its inception in 2016, casting a spell of timeless elegance onto every creation.
