Blend of creativity, contemporary slices at Pakistan fashion week
Karachi Designers researched with silhouettes and drifted away from their staple long kurtas and palazzos on the second day of the Pakistan Fashion Design Council-Sunsilk Fashion Week (PFDC-SFW) here to throw up a blend of creativity and contemporary cuts even as a vast blast close to the venue unsuccessful to cast a shadow on the event.
The blast, close to the Sindh chief minister’s residence, compressed a police building and killed minimum of 19 people. It did result in a minor rescheduling and back-to-back shows, leaving slight time for the models to alter their outfits and hair but the backstage crews managed to pull off the exercise pretty well and everything went efficiently.
The designers who stood out Thursday were Moeed Yousaf and Farya Aftab of label Muse as their 1940s-inspired collection had tailored splits, high-waist pants, skirts, glamorous dresses, jumpsuits and tunics minus leggings as Pakistani women shy away from presentation off their legs.
The spotless cuts and edgy dressing brought in a breath of fresh air to the fashion week.
Students from the Pakistan Institute of Fashion and Design (PIFD) also left a spot with their hoodies and micro skirts teamed with leggings, umbrella-cut tunics, irregular buttoned tunics and ruffled dresses in hues of metallic green, turquoise, fuchsia and bright yellow.
For the foremost time, one also got to observe the sari on the ramp and credit for this goes to Sehyr Saigol of Libaas, who is also the PFDC-SFW chairperson.

Fashion-Forward Icons on the Red Carpet at the WWD 100th Anniversary celebration
Often called “the bible of fashion”, Women’s Wear Daily magazine renowned its 100th anniversary last week. The red carpet at the celebration was star-studded with models, designers, and fashionistas, but many had impressive in general: black was the irresistible palette of the high fashion event at Cipriani in NYC.
Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen crooked up representing their line The Row. The twins wore shaggy black fur coats, and Vogue editor, Anna Wintour, was spotted in a coat with a comparable black fur collar. You recognize the Olsen twins must be doing somewhat right if it’s Anna-approved.
Eye catching collars were moreover worn by fashion designers Keren Craig and Georgina Chapman, founders of Marchesa. Craig’s layered gold necklaces were suggestive of a Cleopatra-style breastplate, and Chapman’s fluffy neckline looked similar to an amped-up take on Queen Elizabeth’s ruffled collars. Designer Anna Sui’s Chinese-inspired embroidered velvet cape showed a style for the historical as well.
Though these names in fashion were there to celebrate the narration of the iconic periodical, they also appeared to be paying homage to fashion’s own history.
