Fascinating wardrobe transition from freezing winter to sprightly spring

https://nation.com.pk/Reporter/our-staff-report
With another winter leaving behind us, we have already started daydreaming about the upcoming spring collection. Each one of us is equally excited to know what the brands have to offer this season, what would be the popular colors, what is going to prevail in the style world and what features and cuts are going to take over the trend game?

Spring is the divine amalgamation of vivid florets, pops of colors and gingham patterns. Exploding from pastels to fiery neon, it is impossible to not get attracted towards such tempting eye candies.

Here are a few of many fashion commands we have aggregated for you:

Quirky Swan

Basic becoming nifty was so 2018. This year, spring is meant to go cool and quirky with vibrant tones and glamorous art work. A fully animated madcap shirt paired with wide pleated plain pants having a tinge of heavy bun and high heels is a complete parcel of class and craze.

Scarlet Macaw

To those who cower to no hues, this is you time to outshine. There is nothing wrong with a blend of bright colors personifying traditional handiwork and unique craftsmanship. This year’s fashion shows are all about electrifying fluorescent shades taking over the ramp with their variety of designs. A plain white straight pant alongside a kurti full of beans is our recommendation to light up the monotonous regular day out. From solid primary colors through to earthy accents, be ready to give your wardrobe a thrilling vivacious volt as you channel your inner Rainbow.

While, we all are ready to soak in the sunshine, East Breakout’s grand collection of color palettes, modern artistry and archaic silhouettes made us fall in love with this zany neon kurti divvied with symmetrical ligature. What is better than a bright outfit on a sunny brunch out? Gird up with this celestial combination of chartreuse and white to create a head turning moment for people around you.

Boss lady Magpie

Queens don’t compete with basics unless that basic is as snappy as this checkered monochrome attire carried with utter grace and sophistication. For formal and semi formal get-together, match your outfit with little or no accessories and high ponytail and you are all set to pull it off.

Let’s end this rollercoaster ride with a fashion tip of two words; Bright and wild. This is all you need to beat the sunny and slight heat this season.

Fashion Pakistan Week Spring/Summer collections kicked off with a Sana Safinaz solo show. The designer duo displayed an array of modern cuts, colours and styling yet didn’t manage to showcase something for everyone. Their creations did, however, ooze the essence of ‘Message from the East’.

Collection: Mayon Mehendi

The Pink Tree Company blew everyone away with their latest collection as it brought back some forgotten rituals. The display kicked off with a video of decades old mayon/mehendi festivities which set the tone for the ramp. In walked the first model donning an all-yellow ensemble – evidently made for a mayon celebration. The outfits that followed were adorned with similar trimmings but every piece was different in its own way.

Gota played a major role in the apparels and while some may say that this form of embellishment is outdated, that was the point. The line was meant to be conventional and what’s more traditional than gota? The fabric used for majority of the clothing was crinkled, printed lawn or cotton with a net or chiffon dupatta. From the material to the colours and the ornamentation, The Pink Tree Company’s showcase was perfect for Spring/Summer.

Not only did the designer team create a mood with the clothes, their accessories also spoke volumes. Gota jewellery, elaborate naths and golden kaleerein all added to the traditional aspect. As far as the cuts are concerned, they varied from a lehenga and kameez to trousers and a pishwaas. Other than gota, sequins and block print made for the adornment. Overall, the line was thrillingly understated and could be worn right off the runway.

Zainab Chottani

Collection: La fée

Chottani’s line was so underwhelming. The ramp met with dust pinks, short shirts, scalloped hems and floor-length sleeves… yet again. Been there, done that. La fée directly translates to ‘the fairy’ – however, there was nothing magical about the display.

The transition from the pastel hues to the red was pleasant, but once the scarlet garbs started pouring in, we were even more confused. With a mix and match of silhouettes as well as embellishments, there didn’t seem to be one particular theme running throughout the collection.

Some pieces were heavily embroidered while others were covered in sequins. Silhouettes ranged from oversized blazers to front-open shirts and full length gowns. The show-stopping attire, worn by actor Hania Amir, was also a letdown as it brought nothing stimulating to the catwalk.

What did bring about some exhilaration though, was Asim Azhar’s surprise appearance. The singer took the stage and sang his way down the ramp before stopping to serenade Amir. This act definitely caught the audience’s attention and made quite an impact. It’s just a shame the clothes couldn’t do the same.

Tena Durrani
Collection: Nur’

Judging from the ornamentation, one could tell a lot of hard work and effort went into Durrani’s Nur’. In no way are we trying to undermine the labours of the rest of the designers, however, the amount of decoration on these attires was overpowering – but not in a good way. The embellishments included floral embroidery, pearls, beading, zari,and tassels.

But, there are more pressing matters we need to speak of. Why in the world is velvet still making a presence on the ramp? A Spring/ Summer collection should have no room for such heavy fabrics, but for some reason they’ve made appearances throughout the week.

Moving on to silhouettes, they were actually pretty amusing. The collection saw a selection of modern cuts including halter necks, short cholis and long, front-open shirts. The colour palette also wasn’t all bad with some pastel, silver and champagne tones. One thing in particular that stood out was the use of metallic fabrics which introduced an effortless, contemporary feel to the clothes.

Nonetheless, while some elements of the collection were laudable, the line as a whole wasn’t grand finale material. One, there was no showstopper and two, it wasn’t mesmerising enough. Ample was left to be explored and it did not bring much new to the table.
