Right you are, sir.
That was a long time ago.

Republic by Omar Farooq

Omar Farooq has made a mark for himself as one of the foremost menswear designers in the country. Time and again, he has proven that he has a well-honed artistic eye for the various genres that encompass menswear: fashion-forward pret and formal-wear. His collections at bridal week tend to cater to the latter category and never had Omar disappointed with his suits and sherwanis. Until now.

There was nothing particularly innovative about the Eastern formals and in fact, the mix of colors, print and textures often did not go well together. There were certain designs that truly made me wonder if Omar was creating them – like the sherwani with the chevron pattern down its length, the beige kurta paired with a silver brocade shawl or the short jackets in unflattering colors.

In addition, a selection of male models also came out wearing suits, carrying cloth bags that held flowers, apparently stressing that all humanity should be given freedom. I can’t fathom what florals had to do with this particular message. And while I am all for supporting social messages, both on and off the catwalk, a collection lacking sartorial finesse can’t be saved via social commentary.

Whatever happened, Republic by Omar Farooq? This collection came as an unwelcome surprise.

HSY
HSY, however, raised the fluctuating sartorial quotient with a finale that was indicative of his brand’s evolution. The thick beige hand embroideries that are his signature were very much there but amping them was a play of color and texture.

There was embroidery running down the length of shirts in intricate rivulets, curving into scallops, chevrons and florals. There were eye-catching deep blues and violets, with their blend of jamawar and threadwork; long column shirts that were lovely and all-white designs that had a classy elegance to them. Less appealing were the light blue ruffled tops, giving off a Spanish effect, but not quite befitting the pairing with an embroidered lehnga.

Nevertheless, the womenswear as well as the menswear was well-conceived. It was, certainly, one of the designer’s stronger collections in recent times and it thankfully wrapped up a not-too-great day at fashion week on a happy note.

Stars steal the show on Day Two of FPW 2019

Out of the 15 designers set to showcase their collections at Fashion Pakistan Week 2019, held at Karachi’s Beach Luxury this year, seven collections took the ramp on day two: Stella Jean, an Italian designer who collaborated with local artisans from Chitral, Gilgit and Hunza, Humayun Alamgir, The Pink Tree Company, Zuria Dor, Zellbury, Splash and Maheen Khan, who closed the show.

The collections on display were not as exciting as one would have hoped. While Stella Jean, The Pink Tree Company and Maheen Khan highlighted their strengths by displaying their command over colour, embroidery and silhouettes, other collections were lacklustre and lacking cohesion or innovation.

However, the star power on the ramp made up for an otherwise fashionably disappointing evening, especially Humayun Alamgir’s show that had several celebrities dancing across the runway.

Actors Ali Safina, Muneeb Butt, Fahad Mirza, Asad Siddiqui, Agha Ali and Shahzad Shaikh didn’t just walk the ramp, but put on a show as they waltzed out and danced around. To top it off, they seemed to be having as great a time as their audience.

The show was also attended by many foreign diplomats, including US Consul General Robert Silberstein, German Consul General Eugen Wollfarth, Italian Ambassador Stefano Pontecorvoste with his wife Lidia Pontecorvoste, Mike Nithavarnakis from the UK Embassy, key TDAP members and Zahir Rahimtoola among others.

Nauman Arfeen

Nauman Arfeen’s ‘Uraan’ featured menswear that was commendably neat. The designer had dedicated his collection to the memory of his father and there was a certain timelessness about it. These weren’t clothes catering to the roving dandy, aiming instead to entice the man with more sophisticated tastes.

Catching my eye were the crisp collars standing out on waistcoats and jackets, layered over matching kurtas, straight pants and voluminous shalwars. Having said this, this collection was the sort that deserved to be seen up-close.

Sometimes simpler designs look more beautiful in an outfit which is heavily embellished. Layers and layers of textures and cut work can get overbearing.

She chose her showstopper well. Wasim Akram can always get the crowd cheering.

SFK Bridals
It’s true that a lot of people were not looking at the catwalk during the SFK Bridals show. Designer Sadaf Fawad Khan’s husband, actor Fawad Khan was sitting in the front row and cameras were constantly veering towards him, catching him in husband-mode as he did his duty by making videos of the show.
