Pakistanis across the world have never held back from joining hands for common developmental causes. In the same spirit, members of the Singapore-Pakistan Association came together under the umbrella of Colours of Indus, a charity gala comprising dinner and a fashion show at the Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore in April this year.
Choreographed and produced by Imran Kureishi, the show was an effort to raise funds for a children’s charity as well as the Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT) and showcased the works of designers Maheen Khan, Rizwan Beyg, Faiza Samee and Shamoon Sultan.
The effort was a defining mark on the canvas of Pakistani choreographed ventures, and comprised 20 models from Singapore as well as international models from Brazil, Romania and Czech Republic. Among the Pakistani representatives were eight female and two male models namely Iraj, Sunita Marshal, Zhalay Sarhadi, Tooba, Zainab Qayyum (ZQ), Arisha, Faiza, Nida, Danish and Anatoly.
Rising to the occasion were the competent hair-styling and make-up efforts of Massarat Misbah and Tani from Depilex, while photography services were rendered by Rizwan-ul-Haq.
And how was the overall experience of working in Singapore? Presently, a very contented Imran Kureishi cannot resist but enthuse, “Fantastic! We were treated like royalty by the Singapore-Pakistan Association. The entire event was extremely well-organized and the designer collections were phenomenal. Our models blended in with theirs in one big happy team and our efforts were highly appreciated by the media vehicles.”
