Here are the best looks from Hum Showcase Day 2
It was a day for fashion’s young and old, for high-end luxe and minimalistic casuals, for a couture-centric smash hit opening act and an energetic, savvy finale. As it wound its way through the many facets that define the fashion paradigm, the second day of Showcase was quite a good day for fashion.
It wasn’t very good, though, due to a few errant collections that put forward the humdrum, the badly constructed and the implausible.
Also, it wasn’t a good day for the red carpet with a large fraction of the celebrity community heading off to the Cake premiere taking place on the same night and another fraction going to a dinner in celebration of the Pakistan International Film Festival which is also taking place this weekend. This is, simply, how we roll in Pakistan. As Ramadan draws closer, we go into panic mode and sandwich as many events as we can into one single, befuddled week.
But who cares about the red carpet and its thin smattering of star power, when the fashion’s this good? And it was good so many times….
