Found these photos on internet and fell in love with some of them. Would like to share
Hot Couture - India Couture Week - Shaaditimes.com
I can’t seem to upload the photos for some reason so above is the link.
I am totally in love with Karisma’s and Priyanka Chopra’s dresses.

Re: India Couture Week
hmmm...if thats couture then Pakistan ONLY does couture, lol
but no seriosuly...those are really nice but as any country's fashion industry goes....they usually tend to forget their own culuture, right? I mean look at India, china etc etc...their runways show an imaginary kinda stuff, while Pakistan, the models model in shalwar kameez, its the only country that didnt forget its actual national dress code, it says a lot about its people/designers
Re: India Couture Week
Umm, yeah, in a way, what they wear is shalwar kameez or so it's called now, but I don't think it's even remotely close to actual and real "Shalwar Kameez". I mean, seriously, I barely and rarely see any so-called "celebrity" or even pucblic, for that matter, in shalwars. What they do put on is a cross of capris and shorts. And kameez has long been replaced with a top thingie that hardly reaches/covers their hips. And this, my friend, is not or never was our "national dress code"

that is SOME cases, Karma, Maria B, Umar Sayeed, and a lot of other designers still make pure shalwar kameez, and a lot of stuff that you would say in ads or magazines or w/e is just way to show that alterations can be made... and people hardly wear the clothes as they are shown...alterations are usually made
I dont wear capri's (atleast not those short ones) so if I see a design I really like with capri's, I always alter it do my personal thing
and a kameez is now a tunic worn with jeans, a tunic is from a kameez, we pakistani's have our shalwar kameez, indians have thier Sari's and YES, shalwar kameez is 100% pakistani
i’m on another forum and i try to post any type of desi fashion i can find bc us american desis are totally deprived. i just wish my family back home had better taste, even when i send them with designs they buy whatever they want.
anyhow here’s a link to the topic i posted some of the HDIL Couture Fashion Week stuff in…
Shazia’s Fashion Corner…reborn… - Page 12 - RateDesi Forums
i haven’t posted manish malhotra’s stuff yet but was very impressed. i’ll get around to that later on this week.
There is some really nice stuff here..Thanks for sharing!
