5% means 9 million pakisanis I don't think its correct ratio.. well my opinion that there is 2% rich class in Pakistan and only 10% of 2% (0.2% in total)use these types dresses but It's hard to believe that any lady in Pakistan can go out in small "CHAD-DI"

Re: Pakistan fashion week

Usaully these kind of odd looking fashion shows r not meant for promoting the dresses which r being shown ,the designer always has theme behind his/her work which present the intellectuality and artistic sense of the designer and the audience has to understand what designer has to say,the way his/her work is being presented.

Re: Pakistan fashion week

Pakistan's fashionistas defy Taliban
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091107/ap_ ... on_goes_on
KARACHI, Pakistan Some women strode the catwalk in vicious spiked bracelets and body armor. Others had their heads covered, burqa-style, but with her shoulders and tattoos exposed. Male models wore long, Islamic robes as well as shorts and sequined T-shirts.
As surging militant violence grabs headlines around the world, Pakistan's top designers and models are taking part in the country's first-ever fashion week. While the mix of couture and high-street fashions would not have been out of place in Milan or New York, many designers reflected the turmoil, contradictions and tensions coursing through the society.
The four-day event, which was postponed twice due to security fears and amid unease at hosting such a gathering amid an army offensive in the northwest, is aimed at showing the world there is more to Pakistan than violence and helping boost an industry that employs hundreds of thousands of people, organizers said.
Many of the models, designers and well-heeled fashionistas packing out each night said the gathering was a symbolic blow to the Taliban and their vision of society, where women are largely confined to the house and must wear a sack-like covering known as a burqa.
"This is our gesture of defiance to the Taliban," said Ayesha Tammy Haq, the CEO of Fashion Pakistan Week. "There is a terrible problem of militancy and political upheaval ... but that doesn't mean that the country shuts down. That doesn't mean that business comes to a halt."
The shows are taking place in Karachi, the country's largest and most cosmopolitan city, in a five-star hotel just next door to the American consulate, which was bombed by Islamist militants in 2002. It lies two hours flight from the northwest, the heartland of al-Qaida and the Taliban, and has largely been spared the violence sweeping the country over the last month.
"Unfortunately, it is the bad side of Pakistan that gets everybody's attention," said top Pakistani model Nadia Hussain as hairdressers and makeup artists fussed over her backstage. "It has never been this bad, I don't know what will happen," as fellow models chain-smoked cigarettes.
While many of the city's 12 million people live in slums, hip cafes and restaurants in wealthy neighborhoods draw sophisticated crowds of young men and women into the early hours, more often than not speaking English with each other and wearing Western dress.
While the shows in Karachi resembled other fashion weeks in other parts of the world, there were no foreign designers or buyers. The organizers decided not to invite them given the precarious security situation.
"Who is going to come here with such negative stuff going on?" said Tabassum Mughal, a young designer who employs about 30 people. "Those who are here already are leaving."
Textiles make up some 60 percent of Pakistan exports and are worth around US$12 billion dollars a year. The country's cotton and silks are among the finest in the world. But the industry has failed to grew in recent years amid political unrest, violence and chronic power shortages.
As if on cue, a power cut during the fashion week's opening evening left the hall in darkness for several minutes.
The fashion industry represents a tiny fraction of the country's textile exports.
"We are still doing the 30 dollar a dozen T-shirt business. There is no value added," said Haq. "We should be employing millions of people, not hundreds of thousands of them."
Designers presented a mix of clothes, some drawing on traditional Pakistani outfits and tribal motifs; others that had little or no sign of traditional aesthetics. In a culture where most all women dress modestly, many outfits were too racy for local tastes.
"This does not represent what we are as a people," designer Ayesha Tahir Masood said. "Only 0.001 percent of Pakistani women would wear these clothes, and then only in a controlled environment when drunk out of their minds."

Fashion Week Karachi has strongly offended true Pakistani cu

[PaniPatt]

This video is not to offend any community of Pakistan but it is to record our protest and to show that the common people of Pakistan has nothing to do with this kind of culture and dresses. Ok, it could be a business event. you guys have a right to do business and export your stuff to other countries..but for God sake, don't do that in the name of Pak and Pure Islamic culture of Pakistan.

We the people of Pakistan strongly oppose this kind of events in or outside of Pakistan which tries to contaminate our identity and our ideology. we are not against any culture of the world as long as it does not disturb our own pure Pakistani culture which is practised by most of the common people of Pakistan. The culture showed in events like fashion week represents only 0.00000000...1% of the population of Pakistan or even lesser.

The whole team of Fashion week should apologize the Pakistani nation because no one has a right to humiliate our social norms, values and culture in such a shameful way...

Long live the great Pakistan
Long live the original Pakistani people
Shame on Fake and slave minded people...huh

It is a matter of shame for the nation that we are experiencing such type of "Fashion Shows" in a country where the majority of the peoples can't even get clean drinking water and living in miserable conditions. They represent women as an object to get pleasure and just destroying the noble and great position of the women.
These privileged classes who are the motivator of these activities are the looters and the corrupt ruling elite. These are only a few thousands peoples who are enjoying all the luxurious on the cost of whole nation. We should condemn these elements and contribute in a struggle to overthrow these culprits and establish a just and fair system.

I dnt know what is the concept of a model in the west but..... in pakistan a model is a top class whore who presents herself in such a manner which lure the top elites [rasheed] [rasheed] [rehman-malik] [taseer] [zardari] and hence make her the most expensive and seek after slut...

 

[ayaan1]

I live in in u.k and even living in the west i can not dream of seeing my children wearing these types of clothes here let alone in pakistan,these people who are trying to promote the so called softer image of Pakistan and they want their daughters,sisters and wifes to go out in the streets half naked and wear these types of out fits should be ashamed of them selves,you don`t have to walk around naked to show west that you are peace loving and soft and get aid,just follow the laws of the country and pay your taxes and refrain from corupption ,don`t forget that you are muslims or change you religon, no one will object and if you wish you can then walk arond naked if you want,typical Mr & Mrs BROWNS!!!!!!!!!!.
