Hambal owner of TSM:
“To me, clothes are just clothes, but shoes and accessories are the key to every outfit because they are the pieces that make you unique and add flair to your personality. I think your shoes really make you step out from the ordinary. I simply love shoes and that is why I’ve devoted nearly a decade to a career in the shoe world. I am never done collecting shoes and I now have a new
Founder/Designer Afsheen Mehboob:
“My husband and I chose to turn our second bedroom into our closet. We gave up having visitors or friends so that our clothes, shoes, jackets, bags and cat’s litter box could have a nice place to live. I’ve never looked at photos of my closet until today. This was a very interesting assignment. Fact: I apparently buy a lot of print and color although I’m 99% positive that I’m always dressed in black. Fact: I
Founder of Cranberry Amber Chugtai:
