September 08: Imtaz Khaliq, Imtaz Bespoke Tailors
Commercial success: Imtaz set up her couture tailoring business more than twelve years ago and is now regarded as one of the leading lights in the new couture tailoring movement. She has been named by Cosmopolitan as one of the top four tailors in London.
Her high-profile client base includes pop star Dina Carroll, actress Michelle Pfeiffer, newsreader Kay Burley, and supermodel Tatjana Pattiz.
Inspiration at the Business & IP Centre: Imtaz is a keen user of the British Library: "The Business & IP Centre provided me with on-site access to a treasure trove of a research collection, which offers users from the creative industries an intoxicating mix of inspiration and information under one roof."
