A fashion designer has said he cannot believe his latest collection will be revealed during Paris Fashion Week.
Jashaan Gill, 26, from Oldbury, West Midlands, started his clothing brand Jheez in 2014 after he was rejected from studying textiles at school.
His show will feature eight streetwear looks including tracksuits, suede pieces and even a wedding dress.
“I didn’t think I’d be doing Paris, it’s the pinnacle of any fashion designers career,” he said.
Mr Gill became the first British Asian of Punjabi heritage to headline a show in New York and has also headlined at fashion shows in Los Angeles and London.
His show with the fashion agency Flying Solo will take place on 29 February after he successfully applied to present during Paris Fashion Week.
Hundreds of applications from around the world were reviewed during the process.
Mr Gill, who started by doing embroidery for school uniforms, said he enjoyed the atmosphere at fashion shows along with seeing the audience’s reactions to his designs.
“Paris is the fashion capital of the world. I feel like my designs are valued in the fashion community,” he said.
