Azeeza Desai Khan, Designer/Creative Director

Azeeza is the Creative Director of Atelier AZZA, a local clothing line that dazzles Chicago shoppers and beyond with stunning South Asian-inspired designs. She is currently working on her spring '13 collection, while simultaneously managing AZZA's charitable projects. Every time an AZZA piece is purchased, one is donated to a South Asian woman in need. This creative, driven Chicagoan belongs on our hot list, and everyone else's, too.
