Sumorani I am not mistaken and yes majority of middle class here can afford a macbook. Go to any college campus and u'll see what I am taking about. But I don't like giving examples from USA to make a point about Pakistan. There is no comparison. Anyway back to Pakistan and about your economic insight I would say these designer can start contributing to the GDP by giving decent wages to their karigers. But they don't and money remain concentrated in hands of few and thus the economic situation in Pakistan. And yes most desi ppl are aware of these designers but by international I mean that ,I have never seen these designer in Milan or Newyork Fashion week.
This kind of expensive is always better mentality is what ruined Pakistani education system with private schools and what not.
BUT hay this is how I think and you don't have to feel like this or agree with me.
