Karachi Fashion Week
477 views, 1 so far today
Pakistan is hosting its first ever fashion week in the city of Karachi against a backdrop of heavy security. Around 30 Pakistani designers are taking part in the event which ends on Saturday. The shows are taking place in the luxury Marriott hotel. Last year, the hotel’s branch in capital Islamabad was devastated by a massive truck bomb.
The organisers say they hope to show a different side of Pakistan than the usual images of suicide bombings. The event had been postponed after threats to security which kept foreign models and designers away, but the fashion world in Pakistan was determined to stage its shows.
