Bridal Couture Fashion Week kicks off in Lahore

(26 Nov 2016) BRIDAL COUTURE FASHION WEEK KICKS OFF IN LAHORE Bridal Couture Fashion Week kicked off in Lahore Friday night (25 NOV. 2016). On the opening day, eight designers showcased their intricate designs. One of them was celebrated Pakistani designer Sobia Nazir. "I was doing the finale of day one. I've showcased my bridal collection by the name of The Mohal, which was inspired by Hawa Mahal, which is in Jaipur," she said. "The collection was totally inspired by the architecture and the colors of that building and it was very vibrant and very rich, regal collection. The embroideries were also very traditional and very intricate." Since its inception, Bridal Couture Week (BCW) has established itself as the number one event for both established and new fashion designers to showcase their latest bridal collections. Over the years it has provided a platform not only for Pakistan's prominent designers, but has also the aspiring and emerging talent. "Well BCW is, again, representing the Pakistani designer. It was a fantastic show, but this time I witnessed personally - I saw very creative work in the designers' work," said fashion journalist Taranjeet Singh. "I am hopeful that the second and third day there will be a lot of the best designers and something new will be coming," he added. Bridal Couture Week was pioneered by HUM Network six years ago with the objective of promoting Pakistan's bridal industry. The grand bridal show has now become the most eagerly awaited event of the fashion industry in Pakistan. The three day event will end on Sunday.
