“It’s a very exciting time for the Fashion Industry of Pakistan. It’s a first step in the right direction; Fashion is a multi billion dollar industry worldwide and Pakistan with its unique textiles, crafts and design can also be part of this international industry…Fashion is just not glamour though that’s an integral part of it but it’s also about business and exports and that is what are final aim should be. We can start by tapping into the domestic and regional markets and make a brand which can eventually go global…”
