Mahira Khan faces backlash for her overpriced clothing line

Many people took to social media to share their candid views about the most expensive collection

‘M By Mahira,’ a clothing line recently launched by Mahira Khan, has become the talk of the town but for all the wrong reasons.

Mostly comprising minimal ivory ensembles, Mahira’s maiden fashion collection is inspired by her late maternal grandmother named Razia. “The scent of fresh Nargis by her bedside. A plethora of books filled her shelves and fed her soul. The sound of her bangles, sometimes gentle, always sweet,” according to her Instagram post. “I was very close to my nani and was always deeply inspired by her timeless poise, grace and elegance,” she added. ‘M By Mahira’, according to her, will mainly comprise white outfits, because she is fond of white colour. “If I had to wear one thing for the rest of my life, I would choose a white kurta shalwar,” she said.

The newly-launched fashion line looks quite simple, yet stylish at the first sight, however, all her efforts seem to go in vain because of the overly priced clothes, including dupatta, trousers, kurtas, and tunic suits, available on the official website.

Being sold at PKR 3500, the embroidered ivory dupatta is the cheapest article from her clothing line, while the silk tunic set, consisting of a trouser and a shirt, is strangely priced at a walloping PKR 24,950, not to exclude a plain white-linen kurta available at PKR 13,000. Shocked by such overpriced clothes being sold under the name of Pakistan’s leading showbiz star, many people took to social media to share their candid views about unreasonably expensive clothes being sold in the guise of fashion. To one’s surprise, Mahira Khan’s overly priced clothing line has also been sold out.
