Jumbo Editorial Team

Vaneeza Ahmad Ali, nicknamed Vinny, is one of the icons in the fashion industry. She has been acclaimed as the most famous and sought-after female model and celebrity in Pakistan.

She has also conjured a brand name Vlawn for her range of lawn and the branding created hype among the fashion conscious public. Initially the collection consisted of nine different lawn prints created by some of the leading designers. She has continued to make waves with her Vlawn brand of women's lawn suits.

Vaneeza was born in Murree on June 29, 1971, but later moved to Germany with her parents upon whose wishes she returned to Pakistan in 1989 and attended Kinnaird College in Lahore from where she graduated with a bachelor's degree in psychology.

She had started to model casually during her stay at college as she was then not enthusiastic about having modelling as a career option although she was being showered with offers from various fashion designers, some of which were notable in the Pakistani fashion industry.

Once she moved into the industry there has been no looking back for her, having ruled it for a decade and a half. She made her acting debut in Jamal Shah’s Kal and has since acted in Marina Khan's Tum Hi Tau Ho, Janey Anjaney and Tum Say Mil Ker; Armaan; and Talaash. The most famous role to have come her way was that of the founder of Pakistan Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah's daughter Dina Wadia in Jamil Dehlavi's 1998 biopic of the leader titled Jinnah.
