Saba Yasmin, My Wardrobe
Saba Yasmin, who is representing Indian and Pakistani culture for the upcoming bridal fashion show, says she is a “customer turned designer”. “I used to be one of the customers of My Wardrobe. Once I was passing through a road in Sydney and saw My Wardrobe empty. I thought they were renovating but then realized the owner was moving away and looking for someone to buy the business. I looked at my husband and he looked at me. And we knew we wanted to take it over,” she says. “That was the start of my journey,” she adds, calling her husband, Shoukat Ali Khan, the owner of sub-continental grocery store, Hayat Hyper Market, her pillar of strength, along with her partner Mamta Soni.
“I never thought I would love being a designer so much because it was such a sudden decision. But I love my work,” says Saba, who is participating in the South Asian Bridal Show for the first time.
Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
