Pakistan fashion week begins as bombers hit northwest
(AFP) – 1 hour ago

KARACHI — Pakistan began a new fashion week with an opulent opening ceremony in Karachi on Monday, hours after Islamist militants killed 46 people in bomb attacks in the northwest.

Participants held a one-minute silence to mourn the five people killed in a suicide car bomb and gun attack at the US embassy in Peshawar and 41 who died in a suicide attack at a political rally in the district of Lower Dir.

The event is scheduled to feature 52 designers -- 49 of them from Pakistan and one each from Malaysia, Sri Lanka and the United Arab Emirates -- in a follow-up to a first event held in Karachi last November.

"The fashion week has started and will continue until Friday," organiser Tehmina Khaled told AFP.

"Security concerns keep designers and models from the West away from Pakistan, yet we have succeeded this time to get some professionals from Asia to participate," Khaled said.

"On the one hand terrorists are attacking our country with bombings and on the other, by organising events like this, we are trying to portray a softer image of Pakistan abroad," she added.

Models will sashay down catwalks, flaunting the latest creations by designers in the nuclear-armed Muslim nation, where most women cover up and observe varying degrees of Islamic dress.

Around 3,200 people have been killed in suicide and bomb attacks over the last three years in Pakistan, blamed on Islamist militants, although mostly concentrated in the northwest.

The fashion event is taking place in the southern port city of Karachi, considered a cosmopolitan city in Pakistan, complete with glitzy shopping malls and a thriving cafe culture.

Karachi has been relatively shielded from the violence, but Islamist cells are believed to operate in the city of 16 million, where the profits from crime and kidnappings allegedly bankroll the insurgency in the northwest.

That is the only thing, dresses like these are nothing new in Pakistan. Fashion week 2009's pictures are already out there on this website. Pakistan has some very talented fashion designers.

Why is there a fashion week every few days in Pakistan, also there are literature festivals, cycling and what not going on all the time.

I actually like this. It enhances our image and allows new and more markets to open employing many new people.

Keep up the good trend.

Well Ijaz-ul-Haq, no one really cares what you think. You dad has done enough damage.

This is vital for future betterment because we do not want to be completely sidelined by mullah and company. Live and let live, you are allowed to preach and practice your religion and if someone wants to design and show clothes let them.

Its not personally harming or damaging you in anyway or form is it.

Actually I don't find it stylish, and other than a lot of leg (and thigh). Its basically a big trench coat and she chose to wear nothing underneath otherwise the coat is sort of of average looking coat.

Arab chicks do the same thing with their burkha's. Halka sa khula chordoh and walk around, it flutters n all. Of course they are wearing some jeans underneath (most of the time).
