Pakistan and… Ruttie were Mohammad Ali Jinnah's two loves. The “Flower of Bombay” as she was called, was known for many things – her love of literature and all things beautiful and exquisite, her charm, wit and intellect, but above of all, her style. Growing up in great wealth exposed her to the most fashionable pieces of the time. Her life was full of beauty, fancy social events and galas. She was not only an avid reader and writer, but fiercely independent, confident and vibrant. Her outfits combine Eastern and Western elements together so subtly and seamlessly. Taking cues out of Ruttie's fashion notes, we have curated a series of generation outfits that emulate he timeless style. Take a look...
