LAHORE: The third day of LAAM Fashion Week presented a colourful presentation of style and elegance on Monday.
The afternoon show on Day-3 was opened with Becoming by KIBO, a collection which explored the space of transition and quiet transformation.
KIBO uses fabric and shape to express depth and introspection. Influenced by the Japanese Samurai silhouette, the designs balanced stillness with motion through varied proportions and fluid structure. A muted palette of fog tones, charcoal and deep blue water shades reinforced the contemplative mood.
Aitbaar by Golmohar, designed by Asif Chaudhary, presented a refined approach to formal dressing through the medium of lawn. Crafted in pure fine lawn, the collection brought to life through hand block printing, highlighting the precision and beauty of traditional craftsmanship.
Kaleidoscope Soul by Kiara at LAAM Fashion Week reflected the layered realities of young women navigating growth, ambition, and identity. Inspired by the shifting patterns of a kaleidoscope, the collection brings together varied colours and textures through two-piece ensembles that highlight individuality. Relaxed tunics, structured short kurtas, sleek culottes and trousers, tulip shalwars, and farshishalwars form silhouettes designed for movement and everyday ease.
Rohi from KB by Zulfiqar Malik, drew inspiration from the Cholistan desert, locally known as Rohi, a region defined by resilience, rhythm, and living colour. Rooted in the landscapes surrounding Bahawalpur and Bahawalnagar, where KB by Zulfiqar Malik is based, the collection reflected desert life through ornament as identity and colour as expression. A predominantly black palette grounded the designs, allowing jewel tones, gold detailing, and vivid accents to emerge with clarity. Artisanal hand embroidery, folk embellishments, and protective motifs reference shared cultural traditions of desert communities. Shaam-e-Sehar by MISL drew inspiration from the quiet beauty of sunset, the golden hour where day gently transitions into night. The collection unfolded through a palette of soft, warm tones paired with deeper accents, reflecting shifting light and shadow. Refined detailing adds depth without overpowering the form, allowing the mood to remain calm and composed.
Celestia by Meeral was an ode to celebration and refined occasion wear. The collection brought together classic elegance and confident allure through fluid silhouettes designed for weddings and formal gatherings.
Return by The House of Kamiar Rokni marked the label’s re-entry onto runway with a renewed sense of purpose. The collection highlighted the house’s command over cut, colour, and craftsmanship, presented through event wear designed for the South Asian bride. A balance of restraint and flourish defined the design language, reflecting a rigorous and disciplined approach to construction.
Celestial Veil by SUMMAT explored eveningwear through light, drape, and quiet luminosity. The collection focused on the relationship between structure and articulation, using engineered layering and calibrated fabric weights to create visual lightness while maintaining fit and stability. A palette of soft, low saturation shades evoked a diffused, celestial glow, designed to define silhouette and surface.
art Deux from Mo by Mohsin Tawasulli presented a contemplative dialogue between past and present, where contemporary silhouettes met the timeless language of heritage. Inspired by museum artifacts and heritage sites, the collection transformed history into wearable form, balancing softness and structure to express femininity as strength shaped through grace.
Day 3’s finale featured Free as a Bird – A Bohemian Rhapsody from Saira Shakira, a collection which celebrated uninhibited expression and poetic freedom. The collection fused tradition with innovation through intricate paisley prints on silks and organzas, while fringe, tassels, and artisanal embroidery add movement and soul to each silhouette. Rooted in boho-chic sensibilities, the designs reinterpreted heritage with a contemporary flair, balancing avant-garde vision with wearability.
