The East meets the West in fashion from Pakistan

There was hardly any skin shown and just a little experimentation, but Pakistani designers still managed to set the ramp on fire with their highly wearable clothes that gathered the traditional with the Western at the country's well known fashion week.

The week will feature 24 distinct designers who will showcase creations from their Spring/Summer 2011 pret-a-porter collections, with daily post-show exhibition stalls at the venue, thereby aligning the Pakistani fashion industry with international trends.

"It is the platform to map Pakistan on international fashion week circiuts. This will be the second time the event is being held and there will be a complete synergy between three aspects of the business – the designers, the crafts people and the textile industry. All three have worked together in a planned, cohesive and sustained manner to add value to products", says one of the designers.
