Kamiar 'Kami’ Rokni is a popular Pakistani fashion designer. Kami graduated from Pakistan School of Fashion Design in 2000 and launched Karma with Maheen Kardar Ali in 2001. He was the creative mind behind the label which quickly rose to prominence, becoming one of the most sought after brands in Pakistan. Kamiar introduced and popularized many trends in the local fashion industry, including the ‘star burst’[1] and traditional ‘kundan’ work. In 2006, Kamiar parted ways with Karma and launched his own brand ‘The House of Kamiar Rokni’.[2][3]

Kamiar also hosts 'No Reservations' on Dawn News every Sunday where celebrities are invited for a candid talk about their lives.[4]

Awards and shows

In 2008, Kamiar Rokni was nominated for a Lux Style Award in the 'Best Pret Wear' category.[5] In 2017, he was nominated again but for the category of 'Achievement in Fashion Design – Bridal'.[6]

Two of Kamiar Rokni's designs opened the 'artist' and the 'prom queen' segments at the Lahore Grammar School Defence branch fashion show which was held to raise funds for the Smile Again Foundation.[7]

Kamiar designed a custom-made dress for Meesha Shafi[8] at the Magnum Chocolate Party of 2017 in Lahore, Pakistan. As Meesha performed her track, her dress was illuminated using projection mapping by the light artist, Umer Toor.[9] The 3D illuminated dress show became a major social media attraction for the event.
