La-bella Designer Studio
If there were prizes for making ridas look cool, Tasneem Hussain (53) would walk away with most of the awards. She, along with her husband, Muslim Hussain (54), started the La-bella Designer Studio three years ago, after operating out of her home for almost seven years prior to that. Being an Arts graduate, she always had an aptitude and interest in designing, so there wasn’t much hesitation in pursuing this profession.“There’s always a demand for ridas,” she says.
