Amir Adnan started Pakistan's first international men's wear brand in 1990 by leaving his tie business to focus on designing sherwanis. He named the brand after himself, "Amir Adnan". The brand grew slowly with the opening of its first store in Karachi and expansion to other parts of Pakistan. Amir Adnan initially advertised in fashion magazines and later launched his own magazine called "HIGH" to promote his designs. He maintains friendly relationships with his employees and believes success is unlikely without good relationships. Amir Adnan designs incorporate elements of Pakistani culture for both formal and casual wear that can be worn internationally.
