Zonia Anwaar

Perfect for the spring/summer!


Zonia Anwaar’s ‘Reverdie’ came bathed in soft spring colours, etched on to print like a watercolor painting. It was very pretty, with airy, easy breezy silhouettes making you want to bask in the sunshine, sipping a cool glass of lemonade. There were wispy blouses, dresses and capes and then, an oddball red suit standing alone amidst the medley of pastels. Why did it Zonia add it in, I wonder?

As is always the case with Zonia Anwaar, it was a well-conceived collection. As is always the case with Zonia, I will say that this showcase will only make sense if it trickles down to retail. The capes, such a favourite in the desi market, could sell out easily. The more Western silhouettes would have to be tweaked for retail racks.

But will Zonia manage to do so? Let’s see.

White on white on white!


Chikankari has always been high-street brand Image Fabrics’ leitmotif and they continued to dabble with it at Hum Showcase, amalgamating it with gota. The all-white lineup blended quite well – chevron dupattas, nets, layered pants, fitted tunics and long embroidered shirts paired with crinkled gharara pants.

It wasn’t avant-garde and I don’t think that the brand wanted to be. Instead, they opted for traditionally beautiful clothes that had you immediately thinking ‘Eid’! You can never go wrong with classic white. And perhaps, in their next showcase, Image Fabrics could steer their chikankari into more cutting edge directions? Some hybrids of traditional silhouettes would be fun!
