Recently, Fashion Week in Pakistan was kicked off in Karachi. The event was postponed anumber of times and rescheduled because of the fear of militant violence.
As a result, no buyers or designers that were out of the country were invited. However, despite the obstacles, fashion week still went on and organizers showed us all that no matter what was going on around them, they were still prepared to move forward as a people and as a culture.
The CEO of Pakistan Fashion Week, Ayesha Tammy Haq, says the event was a “gesture of defiance to the Taliban”. The fashion included women in stunning designs including studs and men were even seen wearing shorts.
Models, designers, makeup artist, and more pulled together to pull off an amzing event with no mishaps except for a small power outage at the beginning of the week.
It’s a reminder that Pakistan is getting better and that textiles make up 60 percent of their exports and are worth $12 billion dollars per year. And according to Associated Press, the country’s cotton and silk is the finest in the world.
