Saira Shakira showcase their Bridal Collection at PLBW 2014

Saira Shakira "Midsummer Night's Dream" collection was brave and experimental. Anyone who's ever been to their studio knows that Saira Shakira are more than capable of churning out beautiful formal wear. What they chose to put on the ramp, however, was challengingly avant-garde. They played with shirt collars, capes and asymmetry.

Asifa & Nabeel's PFDC L'Oreal Bridal Collection comprised pretty shaadi-wear in a palette that ranged from off-white through old gold to soft mint and coral. While there was nothing groundbreaking about their Meena Maniratna collection, it included plenty of attractive wedding outfits. A solid, commercially smart range from the duo.

Karachi – messy, slightly dangerous and hot as hell – it’s a place that will infuriate you and seduce you. This is as cosmopolitan as Pakistan gets – you’ll meet all sorts in Karachi. Fast-paced and just a bit insane, it’s a city that will get under your skin.

Karachi-ites have a high opinion of themselves
Whether you move to Karachi from abroad or from elsewhere in Pakistan, Karachi will change you – not always for the better.

From the incredible intricacy of his embroidery to the silhouettes he showed, Fahad Hussayn shone at PFDC L'Oreal Fashion Week. He is probably one of the most under-rated designers we have today.  Once you move beyond his love of gothic styling, you realise that Hussayn is a master craftsman.

Ammara Khan showcases her bridal collection at PLBW 2014
Ammara Khan in one of Lahore's darlings. She's hugely popular with Lahore's elite and her muse is Iqra Mansha. Her debut collection at PFDC L'Oreal Paris Bridal Week was undoubtedly very pretty. She used modern silhouettes and her embroidery is lovely but there also several pieces that didn't work. These were perhaps the outfits that needed to make a stronger ramp statement to take the collection to the next level from a fashion perspective. There was plenty to love and many outfits that are worth ordering but Ammara Khan needs to up her game for her next ramp sortie.

Shamaeel Ansari's collection "The Wedding" from PLBW 2104
Shamaeel Ansari's PFDC L'Oreal Bridal Week 2014 collection was regal, opulent yet chic. The rich brocades and velvets were intricately embroidered and layered. The collection included both lighter outfits suitable for dholkis and ornate ensembles for more formal events. As usual, Ansari's styling was spot on. The elaborate floral headpieces added the right amount of drama for the ramp but it was little touches like the way shawls were knotted around models' necks that fashion lovers will be copying.

One of the most common style mistakes that many women make is sticking to the same makeup routine year in and year out. They’ll keep bang up to date with fashion trends but will still do their makeup the same way they’ve always done. Keeping up with makeup trends, taking advantage of advances in science and subtly altering your makeup style to counter the effects of ageing can keep you looking fabulous no matter what your age.
