Is this fashion popular in Pakistan. Is this being designed for marketing in Pakistan.

Nice atmosphere but lightning is too dim. Models need to smile little bit more.

Fashion is not relevant to anything. It deems to make the entire society relevant to itself. If there were no fashion designers, we'd all be wearing leaves and animal skin. Hopefully, Pakistan and Pakistanis do become relevant to it though.

@Danny K. Very interesting thought. Although we wear clothes instead of leaves because humans developed technology to create thread from cotton, wool etc. and used it to weave cloth. Technology became sophisticated with time giving us more options in fabric to choose. Whereas fashion designers "Design" (cannot emphasize it enough) to create appealing clothing, giving us more choices in style. Sorry!

@Surprised For what purpose was/is technology created for? Is it to design something, whether it be something more appealing or comfortable. Technology follows human ingenuity, it does not precede it.

@S.Maryam : we have to think about the International market. Clothes like these are usually made for foreign market.

Need Creative designers, with a sense of making our heritage dominant to western one and importance of dressing, instead of copying western design and cutting clothes short as the only way to attract others.

@AliBaba These shows are not causing Hunger and drone killings. India also has female infanticide and yet lady CEOs and one Victoria's secret model. You will find scavengers near white house, the seat of power of one of the richest countries in the world.

So proud of Pakistani talent and designers who are making a name for themselves and Pakistan world over. Our models are world class and our products, fabrics and designs are world class. In a place where there is seldom any good news we should be proud and encourage our talent. For those who have issues with these designs or it goes against their beliefs dont have to wear these clothes nor do they have to look at them. What they can do is appreciate the hard work our designers have done to create a market for people where these designs are worn and appreciated. So agree to disagree stop being haters and encourage our talent. Thats the least you can do. Bravo!
