Style360 Bridal Couture Week in association with J&S, brought the week to a close in a magnificent way. In keeping with the bold and challenging initiative it had taken up of changing the set everyday – there were red chandeliers on the first day, and egg-shaped lamps and chandeliers on the second – the ramp was decorated with a profusion of red roses and different chandeliers, with white cut-out roses adorning the stage. The show organised by Style360 and sponsored by Pantene opened with Karachi’s home-grown Deepak Perwani, one of the well-reputed and brilliant fashion designers of Pakistan is a name that requires no introduction. His product line includes bridal wear, bridal accessories and saris. Deepak Perwani never follows the traditional or ongoing fashion statement of the country; rather he makes ‘his own’. He showcased his latest collection of bridal wear, which was a treat to watch. Reem Abbasi and Amna Kardar came in next. Reem Abbasi is an Islamabad-based jewellery designer who produces not only modern, high fashion jewellery but also intricate and traditional pieces from Pakistan’s rich culture. She considers designing jewellery as an opportunity to make her abstract ideas tangible. Her inspiration is her passion for fashion. Her collection showcased on Sunday night was all about playful nostalgia. Marking the end of this first segment was none other than the famous designer Shaiyanne Malik. Shaiyanne is an artist whose canvas encompasses the entire spectrum of Pakistani fashion. She launched her fashion label over twenty years ago, attaining fame overnight, particularly for her bridal couture. In this glitzy and fast-paced world of fashion, SamanZar remains a brand to be reckoned with. Models presenting her bridal collection received huge applause from the audience.
