"I come from a country where it was very important to
give back," says fashion designer Naeem Khan, who was
born in Mumbai, India. "It was instilled in me as a child
that whatever you make belongs to you—you can enjoy
it—but you have to give back to the world. I grew up with
that philosophy, so giving back is a big part of life."
Khan clearly manifests the values he was taught,
helping to raise money for a range of charities around the
globe, including the Alzheimer's Association and Unicef.
But on April 8, he'll be in Vegas as the featured designer
at the Flair for Care Fashion Show, the Nathan Adelson
Hospice's annual fundraiser at Wynn Las Vegas, which
Naeem Khan in his New York
City showroom, surrounded
by some of the elaborately
beaded gowns that have won
him fans from Beyoncé to
First Lady Michelle Obama.
