KARACHI: The Pantene Bridal Couture Week kicked off a jovial start on Friday 20th April, 2013 at Karachi Expo centre oraganised by Syle360.

The show began with a thump of a Pantene hair mob choreographed by BodyBeat Productions along with the appearance of the Pantene brand Ambassador Nina Lotia on ramp for a mock hair-styling of models.

The first display of collections was by Zainab Chhotani, with a perfect blend of elegance and of heavily beaded bridal wear followed by Nadia Chottani with an elaborate collection of jewellery.

Subsequent to an exuberant performance by the charming couple, Aamina and Mohib, Saim Ali came on stage with an exceptional bling.

Mona Imran closed the first show with a collection of bravado aesthetic combinations including saris, lehngas and peshwas. Hina Dilpazeer opened her show next; Saud and Javeria appeared in her ensembles in the middle and Saira Khan in the end.

The second show opened with outstanding ensembles by Zaheer Abbas after which Amna Ajmal displayed her multihued line.

The show came to a stirring and remarkable conclusion with the rich collection of the exceedingly imaginative Asifa and Nabeel.
