Fazeelat Agha is a new star in the Pakistan fashion scene. She gained international exposure through the frequent postings of her father, a career diplomat. The journeys through different alleys have helped her to imbibe the finest elements of international cultures.

After her marriage she felt she needed to give her muse a visible voice. She soon embarked on an ambitious project of operating a most modern and unique designer boutique in Lahore.
Fazeelat stepped into the new foray with the design and production of high quality men's apparels and soon entered the export markets. Her focus on quality and affordable price tags fuelled her success.
She soon launched Chantilly designer line for woman and it is now eponymous with Pakistani culture and contemporary style. Working on traditional attire Fazeelat has given the Pakistan design an edginess that is well acclaimed in the region. Using traditional motifs, she works with soft fabrics and textures them before giving it the final touch of embroidery.
The Eid collection experiments with the festive colours of the season. Neon green caressed with floral motifs, beige set off with simple zardorzi embroidery, deep purple given a rustic look with tarkashi and zar, deeper colors like brown given a muted look, the blues are brushed with prints and embellishments to set it of on a new octave.
Business and family commitments have not slowed Fazeelat's interest in community issues. She is the Chairperson of LITE, an NGO formed for imparting technical and vocational skills to females to enable them to earn a gainful livelihood.
