Ajrak (shawls) has got attention in Sindh festival, many fashion outlets produced fusion of Ajrak style in their creativity… models wore it… A cultural symbol of Sindh is now taking national attention and acceptance widely… What is your view on it? What else do other provinces offer unique symbol to whole Pakistan? (Dhoti, pathani kothi, balochi etc…
As a style and fashion enthusiast, I absolutely love incorporating traditional, ethnic and tribal aesthetics in my Pakistanis attire. I cannot get enough of it. I love wearing my slightly toned down versions of ‘Pathani dresses’ , love Balouchi embroidery, love Saraiki mirror work, love Kashmiri shawls, and of course I love Punjabi gota work.
My mother owns an Ajrak and Ajrak inspired kameez suit, unfortunately, I don’t have any Ajrak inspired outfit in my wardrobe, not I am allowed to cut my mother’s decades old Ajrak into pieces. So to get an Ajrak with mirrors and silver lining, maroon kameez or full white suit is on my fashion wishlist list.
