Maheen Khan’s opens Fashion Pakistan Week 5 Day 1

Over the span of almost forty years Maheen Khan has consistently managed to merge the spirit of the times with the chic, timeless identity of her style, making her one of the most influential designers in the industry.This collection titled ‘FLIGHT’ is a tribute to the IUCN RED list. The endangered species of birds in particular have been a source of inspiration.

In her own words ” I have always been fascinated by the effortless glory of a bird….almost royal in nature. ”

Speaking about FPW 5, Shamaeel Ansari, and Chairperson Fashion Pakistan Council said, “As we move towards the 5th iteration of Fashion Pakistan Week, we are pleased to see the success this platform has achieved in just over 5 years. This year, apart from the well-established names, specifically for FPW 5 we look forward to showcasing collections from a significant number of newer emerging talents. Further, we are proud to announce a 35 per cent surge in membership from Lahore and Islamabad based designers, which is heartening for the Pakistani fashion industry as it provides discerning fashion consumers with more choice and provides greater exposure to fashion designers in other cities.”
