Naeem Khan on Lady Gaga's Style, His Gorgeous New Faux Fur Line, and Holiday Wish List

Naeem Khan's gorgeous gowns have been spotted all over the red carpet, and we're sure you can see why.

Naeem Khan's gorgeous gowns have been spotted all over the red carpet, and we're sure you can see why. His designs are always beautiful, flattering, and impeccably made. Lucky for us, there's more reason to love him now that he just released his new Timeless Naeem Khan faux fur collection in collaboration with HSN today. We've seen the collection in person, and believe us, each piece exudes luxe — without a guilty conscience. That said, we chatted with the designer to talk about his new line, what he thought about Lady Gaga wearing his beautiful dress, and what's on the top of his holiday wish list. Hint: it has something to do with watches, wine, and traveling.

FabSugar: Tell us about the new Timeless faux fur collection.
Naeem Khan: Hollywood glamour was my inspiration. I just wanted to design something timeless, hence the name of the collection, and clean. The fur itself is really tremendous because it's the only fur that is actually woven and not knitted. A lot of the fake fur you see are coming from China and they're knitted. This collection is made in France and it's totally luxurious.

FS: What celebrities did you have in mind when creating the collection?
NK: It's not just one celebrity I had in mind but I was thinking about old Greta Garbo. When you look at her things, some of her coats were so luxurious with their oversized shape and collars. It's very glamorous and what you think of Hollywood in the '40s and '50s.

FS: Lady Gaga looked amazing in your dress at the New Delhi press conference. What was your reaction when you saw her wearing your gown?
NK: She looked like music royalty. It was so fantastic to see Lady Gaga, who is so talented and out there in her way of styling, to choose something so elegant and give a whole twist to her being. It shows you that Lady Gaga has so many shapes to herself. She looked so chic; she looked like Audrey Hepburn.
