Fashion Unchained’: Star-studded fashion, musical event held2. Zahid Bashir KhanZahid from Kuki Concepts pulledout a number of jaw-droppers this fashion week. His theme for his runway line wasMah-e-Mirinwhich he portrays the struggles of poet Mir Taqi Mir. Zahid startsoff his collection with pure whitedresses, which are then followedby more black, reflecting Mir’s later years in which the poet remained isloated and distressed due to the death of his daughter, son and wife.Zahid’s white embroidered dressworn by Nadia Hussain dominated the runway. From its ruffled skirt, to its bedazzled strap, Nadia’s modern dress is sharply contrasted, yet complimented by Aimal Khan’s more traditional look.
