Now, the brand is making waves internationally and has been worn by some of the most popular international celebrities! Let's take a look at some of the most iconic Rastah looks global celebs have worn.
Diljit Dosanjh
To everyone's surprise, Indian musician and actor Diljit Dosanjh rocked a pair of archival navy-blue trousers in his latest film, Sardaar Ji 3. Pakistani fans certainly felt the love despite the ongoing tensions between the two countries. Dosanjh's support for the brand comes after facing significant backlash from his own country, following the global release of the film. Many in India called for a ban on him, particularly due to the casting of Pakistani actor Hania Aamir as the female lead.
Barry Keoghan
In October 2024, the Saltburn star wore the black hoodie from Rastah's core collection, adorned with the brand's signature screen-printed logo on the chest. The hoodie was styled seamlessly with light-washed denim jeans and crisp white trainers. Recently, Keoghan sported a sage green hoodie. A custom hoodie for Keoghan's son, Brando was also made. Rastah shared the adorable snap on their Instagram, '...had to make a custom Rastah piece for the little guy as well.'
Riz Ahmed
Staying true to his Pakistani roots, Riz Ahmed has worn Rastah on multiple occasions. For his interview with Esquire he wore a handwoven pink shirt featuring a stamped flower motif. On another occasion, Ahmed was seen wearing a multi-coloured Rastah jacket on stage.
Zayn Malik
In May 2024, following the release of his album Room Under the Stairs, Zayn was seen wearing Rastah's blockprint hoodie on his Instagram Story. The hoodie features vibrant embroidered patches depicting animals, birds, and mythical creatures on a black base.
Iman Vellani
Rastah also made its way into the Marvel universe with Ms. Marvel. Iman Vellani wore the brand's 'Pink Eyes Can't See' patch t-shirt in the season finale. Fans and founder Zain were thrilled to see Vellani wearing their design—and the best part? They had no idea until they saw the scene themselves!
Justin Bieber
Perhaps the biggest mark of international success for Rastah was when global pop icon Justin Bieber jumped on the Rastah bandwagon. He sported a hand-embroidered pink button-up shirt from the brand's 'Volume 10' collection. This specific piece was crafted with a sleek, contemporary collar by Ferwa Zahid, a pivotal member of Rastah's creative team.
Karan Johar
Bollywood's fashion icon and renowned director Karan Johar showcased his love for Rastah in a handwoven hoodie from the brand on his Instagram story. The 'Kalamkaar' hoodie features an ornate red peacock motif, blending rich cultural elements with modern streetwear aesthetics.
French Montana
Unforgettable rapper French Montana gave a shout-out to Rastah by sharing an Instagram story featuring the brand's chic blue denim jacket. In an interview, Ahmad revealed Montana was one of the first celebrities to wear a Rastah piece.
Timothée Chalamet
In January 2024, one of Hollywood's most promising young actors, Timothée Chalamet stepped out in an all-brown ensemble that included Rastah's 'Made in Pak' core collection. The Dune star was papped on the streets of LA and paired the sweatshirt with matching pants and shoes. Chalamet was one of the first A-listers to don Rastah.
Anil Kapoor
Bollywood veteran Anil Kapoor wore Rastah's 'Hand-woven Dot Jacket' for the Mumbai premiere of Animal. The jacket was a stunning representation of how Rastah fuses Eastern and Western influences with purpose. This was not the only occasion Kapoor wore the brand - Rastah made its Bollywood debut on the poster of Jug Jugg Jeeyo where Kapoor was dressed in a blue denim jacket.

It seems the Kapoor father-son duo are fans of the brand! The two were featured in a photoshoot for Rastah's Instagram. Harshvardhan wore a handcrafted denim yarn-dyed jacket as his father stood alongside him in a striking yellow ensemble.

Traffic disruption during I-Day celebrations at National Stadium strands citizens for hours
Listen to article Karachi residents were left stranded on the city's roads during the Independence Day celebrations Wednesday due to poor traffic management by the local police. The central Independence Day event, held at the National Stadium, saw a large turnout. However, the event was overshadowed by traffic gridlock as major roads were closed in the evening, leaving citizens struggling to reach their destinations. The closure of routes such as Sir Shah Sulaiman Road and University Road led to long queues of vehicles, while areas like Ghareebabad, Jail Chowrangi, and Natha Khan Bridge saw significant congestion. By the evening, the situation worsened as the track leading from Shahrah-e-Faisal to Karachi's airport was also shut, further exacerbating the traffic jam.

Despite announcements of alternative routes, citizens faced significant inconvenience, with many unable to reach their destinations or attend the celebrations. While the event itself was a success, the poor traffic planning and execution have sparked widespread criticism of the authorities, who failed to anticipate the movement of large crowds. Many citizens are now calling for better coordination to avoid such disruptions in the future. Meanwhile, Karachi's National Stadium was alive with music and celebration as the Sindh government, in collaboration with the Arts Council of Pakistan, hosted a grand musical concert to mark the celebrations of Marka-e-Haq and Independence Day. The concert kicked off with the national anthem, followed by performances from renowned Pakistani singers, including Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Atif Aslam, and Sajjad Ali.

Held at the 27,000-seat stadium, the event saw enthusiastic participation from citizens, who expressed their appreciation by waving their mobile torches. Thousands gathered despite the stadium reaching full capacity, and many were seen attempting to enter through the gates, where long queues formed. Strict security measures were put in place for the event, ensuring a safe environment for all attendees. Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah, provincial ministers, and other distinguished personalities attended the concert. The event also featured the cutting of an Independence Day cake to mark the occasion. The night concluded with a magnificent fireworks display, adding a spectacular touch to the celebrations.

Magic Moments maker ties up with Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan to launch premium tequila
Radico Khaitan, the maker of 'Magic Moments' vodka, will invest up to $4.56 million and team up with Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan and Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath to launch a premium tequila brand, marking its foray into the category. The Indian liquor maker, known for premium offerings such as Rampur Indian Single Malt and Jaisalmer Indian Craft Gin, will roll out the brand D'YAVOL Añejo — a premium spirit made from agave and aged about two years in wine casks. D'YAVOL, a luxury brand founded in 2022 by Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan, along with Leti Blagoeva and Bunty Singh, is headquartered in Amsterdam and offers vodka, blended malt Scotch whisky and premium streetwear. D'YAVOL Añejo is set to launch by December and depending on state excise duty, will be priced between 20,000 rupees ($228.21) and 30,000 rupees, Radico Khaitan Managing Director Abhishek Khaitan told Reuters on Tuesday. The launch comes as affluent Indians increasingly splurge on everything from luxury dining to premium alcohol, housing and cars. Alcohol sales in the country, according to data from analytics firm Crisil, are projected, to grow as much as 10% to $61.35 billion in fiscal 2026. Tequila is one of the fastest growing segments globally and India is catching on very fast. The market size in the country is about 300,000 cases, out of which 15% is the Añejo (Spanish word meaning 'aged') category, Khaitan said. Shah Rukh Khan set to host party for fans in Dubai this week 'We believe that in the next five years, tequila can reach a volume of about a million cases in India plus global market, so I think it was a great opportunity,' he said. Under the partnership, Radico Khaitan and Shah Rukh Khan's family will each hold a 47.5% stake in the venture, while Kamath will own 5%. The deal also underscores the fierce competition in mass and premium liquor segments. Just three weeks ago, peer Tilaknagar Industries bought the 'Imperial Blue' whisky brand from Pernod Ricard for $486 million.
