Hailing from the shores of the UK, Ziggi Menswear is a leading menswear label created by design duo Ziggi and Taff. The brand specializes in South Asian traditional men’s couture. Making their debut at the 2009 Asiana Bridal Show, the creative duo have been awarded numerous prestigious awards including ‘Best Male Fashion Designer’ at the International Asian Fashion Awards for two consecutive years and the ‘Young Business Entrepreneur’ award. Following the brand’s launch in the UK , Ziggi and Taff’s designs have caught the attention of top fashion houses, celebrities and industry commentators including British designer stores Harvey Nichols and House of Fraser, and national and international celebrities including Karishma Kapoor, Upen Patel and Simon Webb amongst many others. Ziggi’s interest in fashion began at an early age, which made the choice of acquiring a BA (Hons) in Fashion Design an easy choice. This was followed by a MA in Visual Communications and a stint in India, where he developed a keen interest in the design and manufacturing process, and worked for a number of couture designers. Managing Director Taff, has over a decade of fashion management experience and focuses on building Ziggi Menswear into a leading fashion house.
