Re: Lawn Collection 2014

Right ladies. I’ve made it to pakistan after 11 years and I think i’m still in shock. This isn’t the country I left behind. All the people driving motor cycles are wearing helmets and we’ve got a massive shopping mall here in islamabad that has all the shops under one roof.
We got here on saturday so I’ve been to just a couple of shops so far.
My initial analysis is this. I’ve had a look at some of the designer lawns and too be honest it aint what it looks like in the magazines. I’ve bought the famous SS white wala with the blue embroidery because it looked the best in real. I’ve also bought a yahsir wahid wala. Again it’s very simple and only came with 2 motifs.
Khaadi didn’t have many suits left. All the good ones are sold out but what I have realised is that living abroad our main options are the designer lawns but actually being here, there are so many different options.
Nishat was pretty good. I didn’t like any of their ready made ones but i bought 2 shirt pieces.
My favourite shop so far is called “ethnic by outfitters”.They sell ready made lawn shirts at a really good price between 2500 and approx 5000. Really funky designs. I’ll post up some pics later.
Chinyere was over priced tat. Quite poor kapra and some naff designs too.
My biggest shock was the sana safinaz shop. I was genuinely expecting the prices to be sky high but i was pleasantly surprised. They were selling ready made lawn and cotton shirts, some western wear but nothing formal yet. (it had only just opened) the shirts were lovely and ranged from 3500 to approx 6500. Again nice designs.
I also went to the “so kamal” shop but wasn’t that impressed.
In terms of fashion, i know we ain’t the most fashion forward in islamabad but i havent seen a single person wearing the short shirts we’ve all seen in the magazines. Its still very much the very long ankle skimming shirts or the ones slightly below the knee. But that’s not to say that once the real summer kicks in, this won’t change. Will b visiting some more shops later today so I will report back.

Which SS one you have bought? I need the review of SS4A
