MUMBAI: It was a show of pomp, glitz and glamour at the Lakme Fashion Week (LFW) here on Sunday when the Pakistan Fashion Week presented garments of several designers including Sonya Battla and Hassan Sheheryar Yasin.
The first Pakistan Fashion Week will be organised in Lahore from November five. Indian designers will be invited at the second Pakistan Fashion Week next year.
Designers Sonya and Hassan are known for their stylishly crafted garments which reflect Pakistan's sensibilities blended beautifully with Western silhouettes.
The fabrics were a mix of traditional bandhani and contemporary chiffons, silks, and georgettes along with rustic hand woven cotton.
From the opening long shaded crepe ornate gown, the mood was set for a spectacular line of creations that were a mix of Eastern and Western glamour.
Men's wear had a few trendy jackets as well as long sherwanis embroidered with peacock motifs, kurtas with traditional embellishments and tunic with beaded tassel work.
Women's wear ranged from long sensuous gowns with beautiful ornate necklines to chiffon halter dresses, stylish bundgalas teamed with layered palazzos, glamorous tunics worn with capris, a vibrant poncho and mini skirt, red geometric embroidered jackets with beige chiffon shararas.
The show then moved onto glittering sequined minis, Charleston dresses and even an air of skinny rhinestone splashed denim jeans.
The two saris in the show were elegantly designed with embroidery of the richest kind. The show revealed the beauty of Pakistan, leaving the audience wanting more of the neighbouring country's couture creations.
