Celebrate Pakistan: A first of its kind fashion event held in Vancouver to showcase the culture, music, fashion & cuisine of Pakistan. The event was a part of efforts by the Consulate General of Pakistan, Mr. Moin-ul-Haq in Vancouver to promote cultural beauty and diversity of Pakistan which quite often is portrayed quite negatively by media. The event was choreographed by Frieha Altaf, CEO, Catwalk Event Management & Productions.
The Evening started with a short documentary and visual glimpses of Pakistan titled “Pakistan-Beyond the headlines.” Following the short film the event showcased an exquisite collection of stylish intricate and colorful dresses by Ms.Nilofer Shahid. The elegance and eloquence of her style drew inspiration from Islamic and Moghul Art. She started from a little shop in 1978 and now owns Meeras, a leading fashion house based in Lahore. Displayed at fashion shows in Paris, Milan and Dubai, Nilofer Shahid also blends her traditional work with contemporary moods and trends.
After the fashion show guests were invited to the food gala where signature Pakistani dishes & desserts prepared by Chef Micheal and his team were served.Varities of mangoes were especially brought from Pakistan for the occasion.
