Yousuf Bashir Biography
Yousuf Bashir Qureshi[a] (born 2 March 1971), commonly known as YBQ, is a Pakistani fashion designer, artist, actor, musician, poet and farmer. His atelier and art and design studios are housed in former warehouses known as the Commune Artist Colony, located in Karachi's Railway Quarters.
Yousuf Bashir Qureshi was born on 2 March 1971 in Karachi. As a child, he attended Pakistan Steel Cadet College, a boarding school on the outskirts of Karachi. His family has a long-standing history in farming, with their ancestral home in Hasan Abdal. Through his mother, Abida Bashir, he has familial ties to Ajmer.
After completing his schooling, Qureshi pursued higher education in the United States, graduating from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln with a degree in food science. Alongside his studies, he began ballet and developed an interest in fashion, art and photography. His photographic work has been featured in publications including Vogue and National Geographic.
He briefly opened a café in Lincoln, Nebraska, before relocating in 1997 to Santa Monica, California, where he designed costumes for Hollywood productions. During this period he worked for Madonna, Sheryl Crow and Alanis Morissette, and contributed to the costume design for The Matrix.
In 2004, Qureshi returned to Pakistan, establishing his studio in former family-owned warehouses in Karachi. Qureshi's first designer clothing was a blend of traditional South Asian styles with his own touch. His fashion work is inspired by Sufi mysticism. Qureshi has taught courses in fashion design at the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture. In addition to his artistic work, he manages the family farm in Mirpur Sakro.
