FPW Day2: Live animals and kids on the catwalk almost steal the show
There was some stellar fashion, celebrities on the catwalk, spurts of drama and a very enthusiastic audience. The second day of Fashion Pakistan Week brought it all together and rolled with it. It did meet some inevitable speedbumps along its way but overall, it was a day that gathered pace as it progressed and even nudged the fashion envelope quite a bit.
On the downside, most collections had hit and miss moments and there were very few line-ups that were all-out winners. It’s strange how sometimes established designers begin yo-yoing between absolute must-haves and strange blunders all in the same collection.
At the risk of repeating ourselves, we would have certainly liked the fashion better had the show started and ended on time. Council members were heard mumbling that attendees aren’t punctual which leads to delays. Perhaps they should just set a precedent by starting without waiting for the starlets that can’t seem to leave the red carpet.
There’s more on that later. Here’s what we thought:
Zaheer Abbas
Zaheer Abbas’ all-white cottons were refreshingly minimalistic. Pleated, collared and cinched with belts, the tunics were mostly baggy with flirty hems and quite a bit of draping.
