Areeba Habib started her modelling some three and a half years ago but in a short span of time she has earned a place for herself in the fashion world. Though Areeba’s entry into showbiz is relatively new, her promising looks and professional attitude indicate that she is going to be one of the top models of Pakistan. She was discovered by Frieha Altaf during one of her Veet shows in 2011. Since then she has participated in all the major shows and fashion weeks of Pakistan. “When I started my career in modelling, Frieha Altaf, Deepak Perwani, HSY, Adnan Pardesi have been instrumental in guiding me. I am indebted to all of them,” says Areeba who is in third year of earning her Bachelors degree from Asian Institute of Fashion Design (AIFD). Like most models Areeba is also considering acting on the small screen but hasn’t finalised anything. At present she is working with several designers and fashion houses completing their collections. Let’s see what are her likes and dislikes...
