So the line-up is out for PFDC Sunsilk Fashion Week and, as expected, includes some of the top names in Pakistani fashion. I'm looking forward to so many - especially Elan, Shehla Chatoor, Rizwan Beyg, Nida Azwer, Sania Maskatiya and Zara Shahjahan. Newbies Saira Shakira have drawn a tough spot following Rizwan Beyg and Zara Shahjahan but they have the potential to live up to the billing. Kudos to HSY, Nida Azwer, Fahad Hussayn, Ali Xeeshan and Deepak Perwani for managing to show at both Fashion Pakistan Week and PFDC Sunsilk Fashion Week.

I'm still not convinced of the value of the afternoon shows. I can see the case for giving a platform to High Street brands but I'm not sure what Textile mills that only sell unstitched fabric bring to the table.
There are also some notable absentees. Some like Shamaeel Ansari always prefer to show at FPW but there are several prominent designers who have skipped both fashion weeks. No Sana Safinaz, Sublime by Sara Shahid, Faiza Samee, Layla Chatoor, Maheen Karim or Misha Lakhani. Misha's excused because she's just had a baby but it would have been nice to see the others show a pret collection this year.
Nevertheless, it's an exciting line-up. Karachista's been a little fashion-centric for the last few weeks but you'll have to bear with us - it's Fashion Week!
