HISTORY:

Maria B (real name: Maria Butt) is a super top fashion designer in Pakistan. Maria B grew up in a Kashmiri household, both parents hailing from Kashmir. She was always interested in fashion. Her mother wardrobe was periodically ransacked by her and she remembers even cutting up a few of her mom’s outfits. Maria says, fashion was always second nature to me! I loved prints, fabric and style even before i could pronounce words and glamour always had a special place in my heart!
Maria B spent the most magical childhood in Quetta, Her father served in the army for many years and that contributed to her patriotic up-bringing in Quetta, being close to mountains, rivers and nature enhanced her creative capabilities. In her adolescence, the family moved to Karachi, where she did most of her schooling.
