“Imtaz Khaliq is a superb craftswoman of couture. She combines style
with delicacy of attention and the result has been an amazingly
elegant and subtle, but also very comfortable, suit that I just love.
I am delighted to have found in her a tailor of immense talent and a
friend.”

Professor Parvati Nair, Director, United Nations University Research
Institute, Barcelona, Spain

"It was such an enjoyable adventure to work with Imtaz on realising an outfit for my daughter's wedding. Firstly she produced a wonderful array of fabrics to choose from. Then she sketched out design ideas, which evolved in detail through the sequence of fittings. The final result was a delight, fabulously easy to wear and much complimented on the day. Thank you!"

Diane Haigh Architect.

"Imtaz has been great. I was very burnt out after graduating from fashion school, but she has rekindled my love for making clothes."

Hello,

I hope all is well and you enjoying the games.

I have been on my bike in Scotland........ in preparation for attending the women’s handball Olympic event next Sunday

“Stylish and original but above all Imtaz will transform a piece of material into a stunning outfit that suits you.”

Thank you for the experience of your making the clothes for me such fun. I think everything you have designed for me is unusual, yet my style and I much look forward to wearing the outfits. You have a great talent as a tailor.

Dozens of people wanted to know where my outfit came from and I told them firmly from the only woman tailor in UK – Imtaz Khaliq! Thank you for my original skirt and jacket for my party. 14.5.2012

“just wanted to say how pleased I am with the suit.

It was my first ever bespoke suit and it is really feels great and
comfortable to wear. I can never go back to off-the-shelf!

They say that men make the best cooks and tailors, but I do not believe the
latter now.” 23.5.2012

“I just wanted to say a huge thank you for allowing Reema to shadow you for the day. It was terribly kind of you to spare a whole day out of your busy schedule and spend the day with her in your studio. Reema really appreciated hearing and learning about your personal journey to becoming an accomplished businesswoman and bespoke tailor and I’m positive she has come away feeling very inspired. It was lovely meeting you this week and I hope our paths will cross again soon.” 16.5.2012

Lovely Client Quote: Sarah Weir, OBE -Arts and Culture Director

Regeneration and Community Partnerships -Olympic Park Legacy Company

I found Imtaz by chance on the internet whilst panicking quietly about an outfit suitable to collect my OBE. I wanted to remain me, whilst having something unique and fitting for the occasion. The minute I saw her website I knew she was the right person, with the right style for me. In my first conversation this was confirmed. I was in safe hands, but most importantly in extremely creative, talented and experienced hands. The process of developing and refining the ideas for the outfit was both intense, collaborative and hugely enjoyable. I will treasure the outfit for ever.
