Pakistani Student Hopes High at New York Fashion School

Student Irum Mahmood came to the U.S. from Pakistan as a teenager in 1998. She shows off one of her designs, "This is one of the jackets I made, it's called Princess Kimono, and this is a wool plaid. When I first started here I didn't even know how to thread a needle, so I learned everything at FIT and I've accomplished a lot and I've learned a lot here.' She hopes to make it big as a designer and someday take her creations back to Pakistan. At 20-years-old Irum hopes what she learned at New York's Fashion Institute of Technology will give beauty to the world someday.
