Deepak Perwani
Drawing from the heritage of our sub-continent, Deepak Perwani presented ‘Gold Dust’, a collection of exquisite bride and grooms wear that is effortlessly timeless, with a nod to modernism in the cuts and melange of colours. The collection entailed smart sherwanis and regal lehenga cholis, which, paired with jewellery by Sherezad, created a wave of nostalgia from the past. In classic Deepak fashion; each look was traditionally beautiful- items of clothing that will truly last forever which is every brides dream come true!
HEM
HEM’s collection was a blend of local crafts and experimental techniques. A soft color palette was used with the purpose of reviving various embellishment techniques that curated different looks perfect for all occasions- A myriad of gorgeous hand made ornamentation we loved the detailing on each look! Created in shades of champagne gold and shimmering hues of silver- we couldn’t get enough of their bejeweled studded floor length skirt featuring custom made bead work atop a sheer silk top and sleek straight cigarette pants.
Sanam Chaudhry
The designers Pandora collection featured silhouettes inspired by late 80’s to early 90’s power couture, an audacious juxtaposition of starkly masculine and feminine lines; edgy jackets with fluid shalwars, bold shouldered peplum coats and fluid pleated skirts, umbrella cut capes and wide leg pants. There was a mix of long flares, elegant flowing tails and floral embellishments on the sleeves and hems of super stylish shirts. We adored Sanam’s fresh color combinations including vivid shades of parrot green, teals, electric blues, rose gold and olive greens. Combining elements of eastern fashion with a modern western flare- Sanam Chaudhry’s collection was a total hit in our books!
Wardha Saleem
Inspired by the ‘Dholak’, her collection celebrated the traditional mehndi bride- deeply traditional with a modern play of colours and silhouettes that were playful, the collection was a symphony of vibrant colours, intricate techniques and details keeping in line with our rich and vibrant heritage. She perfectly blended bright hues of fuchsia, radiant oranges, vibrant greens, lustrous blue, passionate plums and rich reds in her own signature style. Sadaf Kanwal strutted down the runway in trendy tropical orange bridal- the outfit consisted of splashes of sky blue and gilded golds atop a peplum top complete with peek-a-boo sleeves. An enticing collection that held the audiences attention from start to finish!
A truly magical evening featuring the best of the best the country has to offer just in time for the Winter Festive season- stay tuned for our Day 3 Fashion Pakistan Week 2017!
