PSFW Day3: You win some, you lose some
Fashion weeks dedicated to prêt always hold such promise. Switching focus from generic shimmery bridal-wear, design may venture into new, unexplored territory, surge towards avant-garde creativity or define trends for wearable, affordable fashion in the coming months.
It was what one expected from the third day of the PFDC Sunsilk Fashion Week (PSFW), with its line-up of ‘hit’ designers. But as one knows all too well, this doesn’t always guarantee ‘hit’ collections. Drifting down the catwalk, there was a bit of repetitive mediocrity, a few lows and some flashes of fashion brilliance.
Following an earlier segment featuring Hang Ten, DSS, Umar Iftikhar and Denizen, the spotlight primarily fell on the evening show. Here’s the lowdown:
Khaadi Khaas
With ‘Translucent’, Khaadi Khaas marked its return to the fashion week circuit after a two-year-break.
The brand clearly has plans of getting bigger, better and more luxurious, creating the PSFW line in collaboration with global giant Swarovski.
A lot worked in this line-up; quirky asymmetric tops, sheath dresses, crop tops and ankle-high pants.
