‘Fabric of god’-- how rich and comfortable can a fabric be, to be given such a title? Silk, since ancient times, has been recognized as the most royal fabric ever. Silk, worldwide, is used as an attire of luxury wear. From Marilyn Monroe’s pink silk dress to Victoria Secret’s silk lingerie -- millions of people were attracted to the multiple ways silk can be worn. “Silk is such a royal fabric and I want to give Shayeh’s customers the experience of luxury.” says Anusheh Shayeree Hassan, owner of Shayeh. In 2016, Shayeh became the first to launch luxury sleepwear line with customized initials in Bangladesh.
Currently working on establishing her own architectural firm, Anusheh began with the silkwear line to feed her “thirst for fashion”. Even the tiniest glimpse at her office speaks about her immense love for fashion. Her office has a wall dedicated to her favourite fashion icons, and a desk organized with the latest Vogue issues.
At a very young age, while other kids read story books, Anusheh would read magazines that her mom used to bring home with her. When she grew up, she got into reading Vogue. While others would binge watch Netflix, she would continually watch fashion videos. “I had to watch videos that I could gain something out of it, and fashion videos and movies were exactly what I needed.” she says.
Anusheh, comfortable in her own style, knows how to keep up with the trends. Her silk shirt paired up with a pair of Chanel earrings is one example. As her fashion inspiration, she names Anna Wintour, Blair from Gossip Girl, and Karl Lagerfeld. She says: “Above all, it is my mother who has always inspired me the most. She holds the confidence in whatever she does. She is my diva.”
