After graduating from the National Institute of Fashion Technology in 2010, Zaib worked with renowned designers Kavita Bhartia and Pankaj & Nidhi, gaining deep understanding of craftsmanship and luxury. In 2019, he was selected for the womenswear master's programme at London College of Fashion — deepening a design philosophy rooted in experimentation, cultural dialogue, and contemporary couture. After completing the programme, Zaib joined couturier Tarun Tahiliani, overseeing the bridal department. In 2026, he launched ZaibQ as a platform for art-couture — design as artistic expression, reflection of society, and illustration of personal identity.
Our story
An Indian Arthouse Label

The Vision
I did not begin this label to simply make clothes. I began it to build a language — one stitched through memory, movement, craft, and identity. I launched ZaibQ with the intention of creating art-couture — garments that exist as artistic expressions, reflections of society, and extensions of identity. For me, fashion is not seasonal. It is archival. Emotional. Transformative. Each piece is imagined as a journey — carrying echoes of the past, responding to the present, and searching endlessly toward the future.
