Red carpet round-up Triumphs and the tawdry

KARACHI: The Lux Style Awards are categorised as one of the ritziest events in Pakistani showbiz but with such pressure comes some sure-fire sartorial howlers. Ayesha Omar and Syra Yousuf bedazzled us with their refined sense of appeal. However, the A-listers who got caught in between dubious fashion trends include Sarwat Gilani and Sadaf Kanwal. Here’s a breakdown of their hits and misses.
Ayesha Omar
From her avant-garde hairdo to the seamlessly-cut halter neckline to the subtle embroidery on her emerald-green Tena Durrani dress, Ayesha revivified the evening like no other. The most bracing thing about her? She refuses to follow trends. She managed to make her classic YSL clutch appear edgy and we were rapt. The hue of the dress complemented her dewy-flushed make-up and the sensual cut-outs at the waist were the cherry on top.
Syra Yousuf
Velour is one of the leading catwalk trends of the season and also one of the easiest to get wrong. But Syra rocked it dead-on in a noteworthy burgundy-meets-marsala toned Sania Maskatiya ensemble. Radiating simplicity, composure and delicacy, the meek ensemble wasn’t so meek after all — the exaggerated slits and the floor-skimming design added spunk to her otherwise timid aura. Her dainty heels and embossed pants too were hard to miss.
Sadaf Kanwal
Four words: been there, done that. Sadaf, we know you’re keen on embodying old-school glamour but there’s a thin line between rustic and overstated. Sadaf laboured eyes of spectators with bustier-design overkill in a form-fitting Nomi Ansari dress that exuded boredom with a chiffon train and lacklustre design. Adding insult to injury, Sadaf’s look was less about the outfit and more about the hair — the Tintin-esque poof on her head was abysmal.
Sarwat Gilani
It takes confidence to eschew a humbly-patterned outfit for an ostentatious one but, man! Sarwat’s guise was a catastrophe in profile of a gown. It seemed as if she may have gotten slightly carried away with the gargantuan fabric that added needless stiffness to her petite frame. Donning elaborate sheer-overlays and a half-sleeved design fused with silver-embroidered accents, there was way too much to absorb about her Rizwan Beyg number. Talk about over-the-top.

KARACHI: As Karachi emerges as a cultural hotspot, global players, such as the United Kingdom, have begun taking keener interest in developing stronger bilateral ties with Pakistan. Efforts have been under way to make Pakistan a primary market for British brands. To satiate the palate of the culturally aware in the metropolis, the British High Commission kickstarted the 10-day Great Festival with a fashion show on October 2 at Dolmen Mall, Clifton.
Curated by industry heavyweight Maheen Khan, the fashion show began with a host of British brands, such as Debenhams, Next and Clarkes, showcasing their outfits, accessories and shoes. These were paired with offerings of local brands the likes of Gul Ahmed and Jafferjees. While the former put forth digital tops with British colonial buildings, the latter showed leather bags and clutches in tones, such as yellow, green and maroon. Gulabo’s tops and truck art-inspired clutches were also put on display with Debenham’s jeans. Models wearing Next looked suave in sweaters and grey suits paired with colourful ties and mufflers, apt sartorial choices for the upcoming winter season.
Deepak Perwani’s tops exuded edginess, featuring painter Frida Kahlo’s face with floral landscapes, geometric patterns and teapots. Where Debenhams’ collection was essentially monochrome with cocktail dresses, jumpsuits and mini dresses dominating the runway, Ideas by Gul Ahmed presented plain tops in colours such as green and purple in silk, and pants with digital prints showcasing old buildings.
Welcoming the guests at the occasion, British High Commissioner Philip Burton said, “As we celebrate 10 days of the Great Festival, we get to see how special a relationship Pakistan and the UK hold.” He shared that not only does the event aim at fostering trade and investment but also at paving the way for people to be a part of the event that boasts fashion-, food- and music-related activities, among others.
Burton added that given the security situation in the country has improved in the recent past, they chose to organise the event in a public space, something that demonstrates their faith in the bilateral relationship and the resilience and splendour of Karachi in specific. Also present at the occasion was British politician Nosheena Mobarik, who pledged to further cooperation between the two countries in terms of trade and investment. The event will go on till October 11 at various other locations in the city

Average women dislikes such stuff in small dress, skirt.
You are talking about specific class.
Boring post.
Just give a free dress to any Pakistani lady; I am sure they will preserve it for cleaning dust at home.
