Tan decided to give one of the most important elements of clothing during the winters aka coats a stylish take while keeping all its functionality intact. Besides keeping us warm during the season, coats are also an integral part of our style covering up most of what we wear and Tan highlights precisely that. He wanted to make a statement of his own. Talking about his brand he said that the inspirations for the designs came from his own Pakistani and English heritage.

He said as quoted in T&C, "Embroidery is a very important component of WAS HIM… my Pakistani/Indian people specialize in this beautiful craft, and I couldn’t create a brand that represents me without infusing that part of my heritage." Tan has also tried to include elements from his own personal life into the designs. The embroidery of the horses was specially created by his husband while the ombre patch pockets were an ode to the ranch at his in-law's place. He's tried to include his heritage and memories while keeping his vision for the future intact. Youtube Star and artist, Lilly Singh modelled for the designer as she graced the cover of InStyle Magazine with Tan France.
