Shahid Afridi: from Cricketer to Couturier [men's fashion]

Shahid Afridi may not be known in all circles around the world, but his name is definitely a household hit on the Indian subcontinent, where he enjoys a massive following.

Born 1980, Shahid is a Pakistani cricketer on the national team in the international circuit.

An aggressive batter, Shahid has scored the highest strike rate in international cricket, earning himself the nickname “Boom, Boom Afridi.”

Meanwhile, his passion for haute couture, coupled with a personal sense of style, swung Shahid right into the fashion field in 2008 as he nurdled his way to a flagship store in Karachi.

Designing both casual and formal wear, Shahid pitches vibrant colors and innovative cuts into his casual wear; whereas, his formal wear is a consistent delivery of unique patterns and stone embellishments.

Shahid Afridi recently debuted in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on February 27th at the JYK Boutique of local designer Juhi Yasmeen Khan.
