Let’s face it; it has been a little over a
week since the Telenor Bridal Couture Week 2015 ended, which is more like a
decade in the fashion world, and no one wants to hear, see and talk about it
any more. So I’m just going to cut to the chase and make it short and simple.
I present to you, the best things about the
fashion week and the complete turnoffs!

The
breathtaking collections are obviously the most
important part of a fashion week, and rest assured have the power to make or
break the event. Every fashion week witnesses some really good collection while
some just fall short of expectations. But there are those few that become
synonymous with the show they are showcased at. At the top my head, HSY,
Mansoor Akram, Sana Abbas, Zainab Chottani are the few that were able to make a long lasting impression
credit to their creative geniuses!
TBCW 15, like some previous ones, opened its
arms, so to speak, as a creative platform to international designers. Amato Haute Couture from UAE really stood out with its fairytale
elegant gowns, something the local fashion scene lacks. The absolutely gorgeous
designs belonged nowhere else other than the red carpet and I sincerely hope
that we get to see a few of our ladies donning the pieces promoting the many
movies that are slated for release soon.
The general population gets really excited
to see their favourite stars in a
never-before kind of avatar walking the ramp, waving and flying kisses
around. I believe its an important part of the entire glamour associated with
such events and really provides the boost in energy, which sometimes becomes
necessary as the crowd gets cranky sitting through the collections which are
not always too enjoyable and waiting through innumerable breaks and ads from
sponsors. The songs and dances are enjoyable either way.
Frankly, this one surprised me as well and I
never thought I would notice something like this so much. But the perfect combination of presentation,
pairing and designs caught my attention like a collection should of a spectator
at a fashion show. Mohsin Naveed Ranjha,
who himself seems to have some modelling potential, paired all my favourite
models together (what a coincidence) who looked gorgeous in their beautiful
wedding attires, tin suitcases and laaltain
pouches. Take a look at the pictures and if you’re still not convinced,
just know that Zurrain Imam and HSY stopped the show too. Need I say
more?

The fashion week also brought forward a few
designers new to the bridal couture under the Telenor Karo Mumkin initiative. Ayesha Ibrahim’s collection was
quite impressive and the work showcased by others was worthy of applause too.
The selection process and its credibility remain in question though, since I
don’t know anything about it, I won’t comment. The initiative is encouraging
nevertheless. A male (Omer Shahzad) and female model (Sadaf Kanwal) were also
picked to be awarded the style and
excellence award. A little birdie told me they got a cell phone as gift!
