It’s been very challenging to achieve this collection technically. There has been so many techniques we have used that had to be taught to the stitchers and embroiders in order to achieve the right technique as well as the look and most importantly get the finish.
I have had to literally spend most of my time in the last couple of months with the artisans as well as the design team to get it right. It’s such a simple collection in the end that mistakes, minor errors are unacceptable.
6. How does this collection reflect the growth of your brand?
I have shown embroidery for the first time on the FW ramp and it’s pretty unusual in terms of technique as well the look and I am very excited about. I think as a brand we feel it’s a brand new feel to our product something we had set out to do and had been working at it for a while and now that we feel relatively happy will be out there for people to see.

It took 3 months to from research to fully executed collection.

We are pleased to be a part of FPW since its beginning, and it is very heartening to see that designers are provided such a platform to showcase their talent. With an emerging market such as Pakistan’s, fashion platforms such as FPW play a significant role in building the economy of our country.
The Pakistani fashion industry is growing exponentially each year, within and outside of Pakistan. The demand for couture and pret is increasing each day and it is all because of the opportunities like these. Also the credit has to be shared with the press for strong media coverage of the designers and the rising trend of multi-label stores both locally and internationally
