Designer’s Lounge recently launched its Eid collection by showcasing trendy designer wear. It featured a fashion show of party and formal clothes presented by well-known models Fouzia, Saima Azhar, Maha and others.
As many as 21 brands featured peshwaz-cuts shirts, flared skirts in myriad colours of sorbet pastels to rich jewel tones embellished with silk threads, and crystal and beadwork on chiffons, silk and jamavar. Each ensemble bore the designer’s signature in terms of the styles presented on the catwalk.
