Omar Farooq Collection at PFDC Sunsilk Fashion Week Karachi
In the first men's collection of PFDC, Omar Farooq of Republic shows clean cut men's fashion inspired by French actor Alain Delon titled Mediterranean Affair. The collection featured the essentially fashion forward man: the dandy. Summer suits in linen and gingham shorts made the suit look fun; they don't need to be just for the office anymore. A trench coat also made its way to the ramp and an appropriately Mediterranean terracotta suit played up the collection. Ascots, white linen pants and a collection sans socks made it a perfect fit for spring /summer. Basics were done well and no longer will men have to resort to trips abroad for those essentials.
YBQ at PFDC Sunsilk Fashion Week Karachi
Aminah Sheikh opened for YBQ in a performance art piece that showed the designer creating his art on the model as his medium; the opening came from the designer's artistic personality. A solemn procession of models followed in a grey and purple palette. In contrast to the last PFDC, YBQ showed a more wearable collection with shirts, dresses and churidars featuring true prêt. The designer even took a conventional route of subtle embroidery and thread work. Sheer voluminous pants were unique with drawstring pant hems for a stylish option to the shalwar.
