There was hardly any skin show and just a slight experimentation, but Pakistani designers still managed to set the ramp on fire with their extremely wearable clothes that married the conventional with the Western at the country’s best known fashion week.

A model presents a creation by Pakistani fashion designer Mohsin on the opening day of the Pakistan Fashion Design Council (PFDC) Sunsilk Fashion Week in Karachi, yesterday.

The first day’s finale of the PFDC Sunsilk Fashion Week will be a charity show entitled Fashion Gives Back. The fashion week will showcase designs from 40 local designers for Spring/Summer 2011.

Mohsin’s collection was an extension of his thesis project, Homeless Hazara, and he patrician it Chadar Namaaz.

‘I have always been awestruck by dupattas since in my family every female wears it. So for my debut line I thought I can present how good-looking and stylish it can be,’ said Mohsin.
