Fashion Pakistan Week has become a major fashion event in the yearly schedule of all that is ‘fashion’ in Pakistan. The show usually happens twice a year, once showcasing looks for the spring and summer season and the other showcasing looks for the winter season. The first day of Fashion Week really set the bar high as designers like Tena Durrani, Zainab Chottani and HSY graced the ramp with their collections for the winter season.
Tena Durrani made quite the impression with her bridal collection
She muted bright reds, purples, and greens with touches of beige and white created a seamless bridal look
Lajwanti showed a pastel based collection; a trend that is slowly becoming hot for this season
Muted colors and all, the collection left quite an impact
Huma Adnan paid homage to the city of Dehradun, thereby giving her collection a truly Punjabi touch and flair
…While keeping with big prints and motifs, Huma kept up the trend of lighter colors
Aamna Aqeel’s collection was like no other at Fashion Pakistan Week
She mostly stuck to black and gold designs, however, she did give a nod to the ever classic, bridal red
Zainab Chottani’s collection was called ‘Khwaab’ and well, it truly did look dream-like
Her collection was a mix of classic bridals and some modern trends too
The Pink Tree Company paid ode to ‘The Gulabi Gang’ and the color pink
The aim of their collection was to prove that pink isn’t a meek color, rather it is bold, fierce and powerful.
And they achieved that effect, ever so flawlessly
HSY ended the first day of Fashion Pakistan Week with quite the bang
His collection was very ‘new generation’ and ‘in charge’
Suits and gowns were the keys to the collection
The trends that clearly made it through the first day were clear; lighter colors, bold prints and traditional kaam reigned supreme. Also, it seems like the whole long shirts coming back situation was only in Lahore, but this is still the first day, so let’s see if some past trends are brought back or not.
