In an Instagram post shared Friday, Iqra Aziz donned fashion brand Rastah’s 97 Paradise suede varsity jacket. Sporting smiles and an adorable set of poses, she wore the jacket over a red top, shadowing the vibrance with the Rastah article’s black fabric and white stitching.
The brand describes the piece as a striking blend of luxe materials and colours. Crafted from premium suede and leather, the jacket emulates sophistication with an edge. The logo patch under the right shoulder reads “money on my mind” in Urdu. The piece is adorned with a number of sleeve patches, strewn about in a splash of colour over its black layout.
A tufted embroidery patch extends over the back, highlighting the phrase “gangsters paradise” and the number 97, both stitched in Urdu script. Designed to fit at the sleeves, the jacket offers a boxy appearance of the wearer’s figure, giving the impression of both fitted and loose styles.
Launched by Zain, Adnan, and Ishmail Ahmad in 2018, Rastah has been making strides across the fashion scene both locally and internationally. In December, the brand added another name to the star-studded catalogue of its admirers: Indian rap icon Yo Yo Honey Singh.
In a post shared to Instagram, Rastah showcased Honey Singh sporting their striking emerald green leather suit, captioned, “Yo Yo Honey Singh wears the emerald green leather suit with custom embroidered detailing.” The jacket alone, priced upwards of USD4,000, epitomises the brand’s ethos of crafting pieces that are unconventional yet luxurious.
The jacket, a standout piece, is crafted from green hair-on leather and features a cropped, structured silhouette that exudes urban sophistication. Its hand-embellished collar, adorned with metallic studs, offers a textured contrast to the simple design, while a handmade polymer clay zip adds an unexpected artistic and abstract touch. Fully lined for versatility, the jacket is designed for both comfort and impact, making it a statement piece for any fashion-forward wardrobe.
Paired with the jacket are wide-legged trousers that further elevate the status of the ensemble to a rich man’s co-ord. With a smooth, light-reflecting texture, the trousers boast an iridescent sheen, adding a sense of movement and fluidity to the look. The relaxed fit ensures ease of wear without compromising on style, while a simple button closure keeps the design clean. Completing the look, Honey Singh accessorised with black leather gloves and his signature rectangular-framed glasses.
