The big Sana Safinaz finale, Maheen Khan's comeback and other fun facts about FPW Winter Festive 2017
Fashion week season is just about to roll out with the Winter Festive edition of Fashion Pakistan Week (FPW) set to take place in Karachi from the 11th to the 14th of September. I do feel that it couldn’t have been scheduled at a better time.
After all, in our part of the world, ‘Winter festive’ is just a fancy word used to describe wedding wear. Given that the entire country goes trotting out to weddings come winter, designers adroitly cash in on this by putting their blingiest feet forward onto catwalks.
Wedding-wear tends to be hand-embroidered and takes a longer time to create, so September is an ideal time for putting out a fashion week dedicated to these designs. Designers can subsequently take orders and have the clothes ready by the time the December-January wedding onslaught begins.
Other bridal weeks that may be teetering towards the tail-end of the year, please take note.
