Pakistan Fashion Council presented Fashion Pakistan Week (FPW 5), 2013 – a platform that endeavors to promote Pakistan’s seasoned and new aspiring fashion talent both on the domestic and international platform.

The show was a glittering affair with inspiration from old oil paintings to Sindhi folktale ‘Marvi’, featuring embroideries layered with embellishments along with elegant and timeless pieces meticulously crafted for the modern and stylish Pakistani fashionistas.–(Photos by Reuters and Faisal Farooqui at Dragonfly.)
