ZAHRA KHAN

I've spent over a decade writing about fashion and lifestyle in India, and worked with some of the biggest names in national media. I continue to be a regular contributor to fashion magazines and newspapers in the country.

I've recently founded a fashion and shopping focussed start-up called Hauterfly, which is a next generation media company that influences how urban Indian women spend their time and money. Through our premium and shoppable content, we help women discover what’s hot, new and happening in fashion, beauty, home décor, tech and lifestyle. As a website dedicated to shopping, our purpose is to inspire personal style and drive millennial women to discover and shop the brands they love.

Prior to launching my start-up, I was the Editorial Director of a fashion e-commerce website called Stylista. I've also worked with the Times of India (where I was Editor – Fashion & Culture at Bombay Times), the luxury lifestyle magazine HELLO! and the TV news channel Times Now. I was also part of the core team that launched, marketed and distributed the luxury brands Gucci, Jimmy Choo and Bottega Veneta in India in the initial years.
