Fashion Pakistan Week took place last week; did our designers bring their A-game to the runway?
Uh, not all the time.
There were some highs and many lows. Here's our own take on who won the war on the catwalk, and who didn't.
Nida's diverse line was sprinkled with hand embroideries, which she excels in. We loved the opulent dupattas and that she kept the colour palette so summery; definitely something we can imagine wearing during the hotter wedding season.

You have been warned: you cannot unsee this bling.
To be fair, what else can you expect from a collection titled 'Ayaash'?
This one's not really such a shocker; after all, Amir Adnan is a pro at this. Yes, the collection was a little uninspired but let's give credit where credit is due. The crisp tailored lines we spotted in his line reaffirmed he is the king of flawless stitching.
Is the wild part of all of this that we didn't spot any actual vests in this collection? We know we shouldn't question a blessing but still, we need answers!

The great thing about Tena Durrani is that she always shows clothes that you can envision wearing yourself, something so many designers tend to forget. Although it lacked innovation, something FPW generally lacked this time around, it was a well-crafted collection nonetheless that will sell well.
Hey Amato, have you met Elie Saab or Zuhair Murad? Looks like you have, because we would call these designs imitation rather then inspiration. Cinched at the waist, that floral embroidery, tell us you see it too?
We were really digging the 70s inspired quirky line Inaaya showed. It was funky without being over the top and some pieces, like a mirror-worked pink choli really caught our eye. Inaaya came out on top by staying true to their ethos but also pushing the envelope just enough to keep us hooked.
