Khulood’s style can be described as feminine, sophisticated, unique, and sensational paying special attention to details and accessories. One rule she truly believes in is to create outfits that accentuate the female body and flatter a woman’s figure. She understands that different cuts suit different body types and catering to these needs is the key to successful fashion designing.
