Passing on the fashion torch

It’s heartwarming to see individuals working in the fashion industry come together to nurture budding talent. In a fashion charity event titled Nine Women hosted by the Depilex Smile Again Foundation at the Lahore Grammar School, the event was themed to show the different faces of the Pakistani woman.

Over a period of time the participants who were all students, were taught how to design, cut, silhouette, colour, manufacture and retail their creations by fashion industry individuals. Coming together in a showing choreographed by HSY, the participants’ performance was judged by a panel of jurors which consisted of Ather Shahzad, Maria B. and Yasir Waheed.

Nickie Nina, one of the designers who helped instruct the students, had their creations based around the theme of Motherhood. With three of the outfits created by their students, this segment also included one original piece by them as well. Based on the theme of the Artiste and The Prom Queen, Kamiar Rokni was called to unveil two of his original outfits which were modelled by his muse, Maliha Naipaul.

More on Nickie Nina is that they are planning a massive 80-piece showing of their collections at New York, Chicago and Washington before the year ends.
