Re: Karachi Fashion Week

At the end of the day, people wanna make money. As I said earlier, traditional wear isn't going to get you as many buyers as western clothes. These six photos do not represent all of the designers that come out of Pakistan. Most Pakistani designers do traditional wear as well as western.

lol says the man who has an avatar of a "gora".

This event is happening behind closed doors. These women chose to wear those clothes. I think most people in the world realize that these photos do not represent Pakistan in any way and if any woman wore something like that on the streets she would probably get rapped.

That has absolutely nothing to do with his statement.
Stop being such a twit.

Re: Karachi Fashion Week

I generally tend to follow fashion weeks all over the world and revealing or not, none of these outfits are on point with anything I've seen on the NYC runways or Paris runways. Whoever the designer is needs to try again. Fail.

Re: Karachi Fashion Week

we can argue whether or not the shows are showing too much skin etc. However my point is that the clothes look so out of date! Looks like pieces from the nineties! Which European buyer would be interested in these clothes since it's not original/innovatice - plus it's ugly. You can be daring with style but unfortunately I don't see anything stylish about these clothes...

Re: Karachi Fashion Week

Re: Karachi Fashion Week

Agree.. they're not very creative.. could pick stuff like that up from any cheap high street store in the UK..

Re: Karachi Fashion Week

i'm a bit surprised I was expecting nicer stuff like lenghas but this looks like western wear. doesn't look like pakistani fashion to me

Re: Karachi Fashion Week

The only thing I see wrong here is the selection of models, like the one on the left in this pic ( looks like she is ready to pick up a fight with someone :smiley: )

32

Re: Karachi Fashion Week

yup!

33

Re: Karachi Fashion Week

Well i would not consider myself a prune of any sort, however i am also pretty shocked that so much skin is being shown in Karachi, this is not Paris or Milan or New York, this is Karachi, a city that is within the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, is this really what we are aspiring our population to wear?? and if this is meant to be for foriegn buyers, then go abroad and showcase your crap there :waves:

Re: Karachi Fashion Week

I kind alike some of the outfits (as ideas....not the outfit itself)...

35

Re: Karachi Fashion Week

Does anyone have a full pic of the male model in his pants? looks kinda weird how his waxed his upper body but not his lower.

KARACHI:

The second day of the Karachi Fashion Week was laced with glaring disappointments and obvious fashion faux pas on the ramp. While there was diversity — from Nina Ajmal’s tie-and-dye tops to Zara’s Bermuda shorts — the event was marred by mistakes made earlier. If the day was saved, it was only because of fashion designers Syed Rizwanullah and Nadya Mistry.

Zara

Zara’s Spring/Summer collection 2012 saw a deep loyalty to the brand’s signature style and stuck to trendy and sporty clothes — the look Zara is famous for at the international level as well. The men’s range saw Bermuda shorts in floral prints, cargo pants and flip-flops, while the women’s line created a stir with mini-skirts and high-heels.

Indus Higher School

Unfortunately, the young lot of Indus Higher School failed to impress on the ramp. In a collection of western-styled outfits for men, turbans don’t stand a chance. Similarly, motifs of wish bones and human skulls don’t seem to have mass appeal either. Meanwhile, in the women’s line, the concept of scissors hanging on cocktail dresses was another fashion no-no.

Nina Ajmal

Nina Ajmal made her debut on the ramp with a casual collection comprising of tie-and-dye tops. However, one couldn’t help but wonder why the designer chose to show gold, shimmery shalwars. Overall, the collection failed to excite with most of the outfits looking identical.

Nadya Mistry

Nadya Mistry’s ode to late singer Amy Winehouse’s philosophy of style was definitely unique and creative, but this can only be said about the western outfits she offered. Mistry, the French-trained designer, paid tribute to the late singer in her collection titled ‘Amy’, and her models had the ‘Winehouse look’ — with everything from the beehive hairdo to the dramatic eye make-up.

However, Mistry’s decision to have an eastern collection around the same theme backfired as it failed to live up to the expectations of the crowd.

M.A.K

Mateen Ahmed Khan’s menswear collection, a fusion of 1970s and 1980s era saw safari suits with motifs from the Mughal era. The creations, with shades of blue and whites, ended up looking repetitive.

Syed Rizwanullah

Rizwanullah is known to make a splash and he did exactly that with his collection at KFW, where the audience was stunned to see a male model walking the ramp in his underwear. However, notice must be given the rest of the designer’s collection which saved the night.

Rizwanullah’s ‘Black’ collection was striking with the designer using black offset with vibrant embroidery. While the creations were bold and funky, the embroidery definitely had a hint of traditional Pakistan. The designer had his wife, model Fayezah Ansari, walk the ramp in a long flowing, backless black gown which won resounding applause by the audience.
