Hello, my lovely readers!

I know aap sab mera kaafi wait kar rahay thay. I missed you jaans too, bohat socha kis baat par article likhoon, but there was nothing happening in the industry. Khair now that I have written this article and am about to publish this, there is this whole Lux Style Awards ka tamasha happening. I have so much to say on this, but let’s wait for all the nominees to withdraw aur phir baat kartain hain, lol

Khair anyhow, last week I had the privilege of attending the PFDC Sunsilk Fashion Week (Lahore) and the Hum Showcase (Karachi). Free ke passes jo milay thay tau jana tau must tha. Anyway, as usual, the three-day glamorous extravaganza had some hits and obviously, some misses and aaj I take this opportunity, as the ultimate fashion police, and give my opinion on the looks:

PFDC Sunsilk Fashion Week

Hania Amir

So Nomi darling presented the sportswear collection and kaafi theek thaak; I actually quite liked the contemporary touch to it. Theme bhi refreshing tha; complete with vibrant colors and irresistible, shirtless hot men walking the ramp, one after the other. While I was busy checking them out, Hania Amir suddenly appeared out of nowhere as the show stopper and honestly, ouch! My eyes couldn’t recover from the disaster that she was. Mere regular workout clothes are far better than what she wore, kasam say!

Zara Noor Abbas 

Zara Noor Abbas, who usually toh turns up looking absolutely flawless but this time was a sheer disappointment. Haye Allah, what was she even thinking? The pink didn’t do anything to accentuate her good looks, plus the outfit didn’t compliment her figure at all. She could have gone a little easy on the accessories, given the bright color of her outfit lekin chalo marzi hai! Jaani next time when you are show-stopping you come to me, okay?

Shehreyar Munawar

Kasam se, I can’t describe the moment when Shehreyar took the stage. I was seeing him live for the first time. Imagine my haalat, aur tau aur zalim ne aik dafa bhi meri taraf nahi dekha. Anyway, it’s no use crying over spilt milk. Talking of milk, why was Sherry dressed in complete white? Na tou 23 March thi, na hee 14 August. Khair, no offense but this one was just too hard to like.

Mawra Hocane

Mawra is a stunning girl, mujhay toh pasand hay bhai, log jo marzi kahain. But this time she didn’t quite get it right. While her makeup and hairdo were on point, Hocane’s outfit wasn’t that great. The saree was strictly average but the way it was draped made it a miss for me.

HUM Showcase

Anyway moving on, uff Galaxy walay kitni zimedariyan daal detay hai mujh pe. One can’t say no to someone who has given you a break, so I had to fly to Karachi to attend the Hum Showcase. Especially when the hospitality is complementary, mujhe tau jana hi tha.

First things first, the high octane fashion event looked more of a film promotions adda where all the celebrity showstoppers somehow or the other, promoted their films. Pehle tau we saw the Heer Man Ja pair; Hareem Farooq and Ali Rehman. It felt as if Ali was badly in need of a glucose drip as his energy level was super low when he walked in. Then we witnessed Neelam Munner and Sami Khan for Wrong No 2.

Moving on, it’s been a month since Laal Kabootar released but looks like, the lukewarm response to the film has made AAA (bohat lamba naam hai) and Mansha Pasha to promote the film at every possible occasion (since it’s still showing in cinemas, thanks to the sudden exit of Bollywood films). But the winner amongst them was Wajahat Rauf who attended the show biwi, bachay and of course the star cast samait. Han bhai, HUM Films ki product hai tau HUM showcase per promotion tau banti hai. Ab chalain, fashion misses ki bat karte hain:

Feroze Khan

I personally feel that after a couple of successful projects, kamyabi thori sar par charh gaye hai Feroze kay.  He thinks whatever he does is fine… matlab kuch bhi. His outfit reminded me of my mother’s hand made tea cosy set that used to have such colors and patterns. For me honestly, the outfit did nothing for him.

Faryal Mehmood

Amidst all this shor sharaba, I really loved Rizwan Beyg’s collections but Faryal’s strapless outfit and revealing legs didn’t quite make sense to me. Why is Faryal trying so hard to be our local Bipasha Basu? Her walk was too fast and for a moment mujhe tou laga she was going to pull a Kangana Ranaut from Fashion. My advice is: expose where it is required. Simple!

Sarah Khan

I hate to say this, as I love Sarah, but her dress made her look more like a Chinese doll. I am not a fan of such prints on a dress for they always remind me of the curtains in my house. Mere ghar kay parday is se behtar hee hain wese, apas ki baat hai. Quite frankly, her outfit had a lot of unnecessary material on it which wasn’t exactly flattering. 

A final word

A film without a good script is soul-less, therefore, a celebrity showstopper with a mediocre outfit is ____ (samaj tau gaye ho gay ap). My humble advice to all the designers, besides focusing on their entire collections, is to kindly pay a little more attention to the show stoppers kay kapre. At the end of the day, it’s your collection bhai and no one else’s that they represent.

Until next time it’s a bye-bye from your all-time favorite judgment ki rani – Miss Lollywood.
