Fashion Pakistan Council’s showcase for new talent was a low-key yet beautifully professional event. Held at the Indus Valley School of Art & Architecture, Maybelline New York Millennial Fashion 2014 was a resounding success. A select crowd of established designers, fashion, media and trade representatives watched shows by five upcoming designers.
Maybelline New York Millennial Fashion 2014 introduced five young Pakistani designers, but at the end of the evening there was only one name on everyone’s lips. Madiha Raza’s ‘Flight of Birds’ collection was in a class of its own. Original, polished and artistic, the collection simply sang on the ramp.
Based on leather laser cutting and 3D textures combined with digital printing, ‘Flight of Birds’ scored on multiple levels. The silhouettes, detailing and finishing of the outfits were all outstanding. Raza’s leather cut leather capes were particularly appealing, as were her custom-made, colourful accessories.
