Zubair Kirmani describes today’s luxury as the synthesis of mystery and apparent casualness. His designs reflect the beauty and purity of simple uncomplicated garments yet immaculately clean lines with vigilant attention to details and touch of comfort and versatility. With style inclined towards, classic he focuses on the use of chanderi, lurex and velvet in his garments and intricate thread work in contemporary motifs has been his forte.

Born and brought up in the divine valley of Kashmir he launched his label under the name BONIPUN, which means Chinar leaf. Zubair grew up under the shade of Chinar trees that has always inspired him as it has fuelled lot of poetic imagination, the name BOUNIPUN (chinar leaf) with its ever changing colors left an indelible impression on him. He tried to meddle with science, engineering but none was able to sustain his creative instincts, and finally he pursued fashion.

• The label “BOUNIPUN by ZUBAIR KIRMANI” was launched IN 2005
• Showcased his first collection at WIFW in 2007
• Works highly on the lines of hand stitched garments

Zubair has a clear design philosophy and a point of view about being modern, sophisticated, clean, minimal and classic heritage inspired from his birthplace, Kashmir. His designs are an accent on intricate hand embroideries, planned patchworks, colour blocking and geometric patterns. The brand Bonipun primarily focuses and conceives an inimitable signature style that fuses the importance of crafted detailing rediscovered in his avant-garde collection, which keeps improving upon rather than making rash changes every season. The Brand’s forte lies in sophisticated women’s western line and men’s fashion formals.

Designer of the graphics on garments, he has fabrics all around him at all times which motivate him in getting an uninterrupted flow of fresh ideas. Thus Zubair never runs short of inspiration as they always seem to pop out of somewhere. When asked about the complications caused by so many new fashion weeks, here’s what he had to say: “There are good things about something, bad things about others. Everything could not be fitted into one, so the different platforms.”

Not much of a party person, he enjoys going to private dinners with close friends in his free time. Instrumentals and Sufi music helps him relax sometimes and a good sound sleep invariably always relieves him of his problems. Refusing to take any particular designer’s name as his favorite, Zubair is highly impressed by each designer’s individual appeal and style.
