Vivid Winters: A party of color and divergence

It is that spectacular time of the year, when the air turns crisp and the morning sun feels like one’s first love. Yes winter is here! Like always Gul Ahmed knows how important it is for women to feel warm in their winter-wear yet look absolutely stunning; therefore GulAhmed has launched its much anticipated Winter Collection 2015. The collection was launched on October 31, 2015 but some lucky customers got a chance to get their hands on these precious gems a day earlier via a special code! The winter collection includes a remarkable variety of fabrics ranging from the supple velvets to the warm karandi and from comforting pashminas to the season-savvy khaddar, linen and corduroy.

Gul Ahmed has been synonymous with perfection and quality in textile ever since its creation in 1953. Long associated with classic designs, quality fabric and great value, Gul Ahmed is extremely popular among women across all demographics and has been known to cater to people from all spheres of life. Similarly in the Gul Ahmed Winter Collection 2015, the needs and preferences of women from various age groups has been kept in mind. The fabrics have an extensive color-palette and every design is unique. For the younger demographics, Gul Ahmed has brought the much welcomed digital prints, bright and vibrant hues and piercing floral designs. The darker shades and block prints will make the mature women euphoric.

The Silk Velvet and Pashmina collection features some truly exquisite floral prints and Persian motifs on subtle colors like grey, beige, brown and black. The magnificent khaddar and Chantilly De Lace range is based on fusion between traditional and botanical patterns. The mesmerizing colors mixed with the florals will make the wearer’s winter blue disappear.

As always, the trend-setting designs in every Gul Ahmed collection become iconic in the fashion world. Here are some of the dresses that we absolutely adore:

November 30, 2015
Islamabad - Fashion Parade - a day long event featuring glamour, style, elegance and dazzle of upcoming fashions is all set to hit the ramps of Federal Capital here on December 10.
Islamabad fashion elite are ready to converge western world for the premier fashion event that promises a grand celebration of Islamabad’s finest fashion creations.
The spectacular fashion extravaganza `Fashion Parade Islamabad (IFP)’ has an esteemed line-up from Pakistan to capture the attention of fashion lovers of twin cities and introduce the concept of haute couture by providing opportunity for upcoming designers, models, choreographers, fashion writers and photographers.
The event will showcase leading Islamabad based fashion brands as well as pret designers to an audience comprising both the international and local buyers. The participants will showcase their latest collection at the show, seeking to forge local partnerships and franchise outlets in Pakistan.
“Fashion events are a perfect way to showcase and promote textiles, casual and formal wear, leather, footwear, and other fashion-related products in local and international markets,” said the organizers while talking to APP. These fashion events not only promote the countries’ finished products export, but strengthen the countries’ fashion related cottage industries.
“This show will serve as a fashion and trade event that facilitates trade and garners exposure for our guests as well as highlighting our local talent,” the organisers said.
Female and male models from Islamabad will participate with some models scouted from Lahore. The event is being organised by Trendy Event Management Company.

“IFP is a combine noble thought of our new blood to make Islamabad as centre of fashion vogue in Pakistan. In previous years Islamabad was way far behind then other cities when it comes to such couture gatherings.
As capital of every country depicts its fashion drift, Trendy has tried to portray the softer image of Pakistan to world, by giving an open platform to different fields to work under one roof,” an official of Trendy said.

Velvet is hot and the shalwar makes a comeback to the ramp

In the context of Pakistan’s social circuit 'winter' means balls, parties and of course weddings galore. Fashion Pakistan Week 2015 Winter/Festivecovered all angles with a mixed bag of bridal and luxury pret collections.

Trend spotting promised to be something of a challenge but it turns out that the hottest trends transcend genres: the coolest wedding wear keeps pace with the zeitgeist.

This winter keep your look super-chic with these top ten trends from FPW 2015

1) Velvet
Well of course, it’s winter. It may be a quintessential winter fabric but velvet has never been more fashionable. It was all over the ramp in a myriad of forms including dhoti shalwars, capes, skirts and even as the lining to dupattas. Keep the colours rich and deep and pair with gold accents for maximum impact.

Zaheer Abbas nails the crop top in black (L) and Shehla Chatoor and Faraz Manan experiment with maroon (M & R)


2) Shalwars
In the ascendant all year, the shalwar is firmly on the fashion radar for the time being. From westernized harem pants to northern-style shalwars with a wide paincha, fashion week saw multiple incarnations of the humble shalloo.

Evidently, olive, black and gold also ruled the runway


3) Dhoti shalwars
More than just a variation of the shalwar, the dhoti shalwar is the hippest new kid on the block, with the likes of Shehla Chatoor and Nida Azwer using it for avant-garde bridal looks.

Nida Azwer keeps the trend from being OTT


Clearly, it's not for the faint-hearted.

FnkAsia, on the other hand, goes all out


4) Capes
These are becoming so ubiquitous that they’re probably nearing the end of their moment in the sun, but still chic for the time being. FPW saw a variety of avatars including extravagant baroque ones from Nilofer Shahid and elaborate fauna-embroidered creations by Elan. Stick to skinny or boot-cut lowers for a flattering effect.

We're not quite ready to say bye just yet


5) Off the shoulder tops
An international trend that had a major imprint at FPW, particularly for bridals. Bare shoulders gave a fashion-forward edge to wedding wear by Nida Azwer, Shehla Chatoor and Tena Durrani among others. Brave cold shoulders this winter for ultimate, cutting-edge style.

Best part about this trend? You don't have to feel conscious about your shoulders; there is no "ideal" shoulder


6) Lined dupattas
This bridal trend adds drama and colour to wedding ensembles. FPW saw dupattas lined with contrasting velvet or brocade in contrasting hues, adding the additional element of texture.

Make a statement with an eye-catching dupatta this wedding season


Be sure to hit the gym beforehand – lining adds even more weight to embroidered dupattas and carrying them becomes both an art and a workout!

Those babies don't look light!


7) Can-cans
Whether you’re in a gown or a lengha, this season is all about channeling your inner princess. You may end up needing a coach to get to the wedding or ball but no more wilting lenghas or shapeless dresses. Unless your outfit is sleek and fitted, nothing beats the fall and movement of a can-can.
