KARACHI: The snazziest event of the year, Bridal Couture Week, opened its curtains Friday evening at one of most prestigious hotels here, in what everyone's hoped – and rightly so – to be a game-changing deal, considering how FPW failed to impress some.
The line-up for today – BCW day one – comprises Amir Adnan, Yasmin Zaman, Arsalan Iqbal, HSY, Rizwan Ahmed, Naushad Imdad, 'Impulse' by Ayesha Farid, and 'Gogi' by Hassan Riaz.
Amir Adnan
Though Amir Adnan and his wife Huma Adnan were absent from the event, their collection really made an impression, with extensive embroidery and traditional touch to the attires. Models such as Sadaf Kanwal presented their work.

Yasmin Zaman
Zaman's presentation added a bit of colour to the ramp. Her work depicted more contrasting tones like pink and golds, which were worn by Anoushey Ashraf and Sunita Marshall.

Former supermodel Vaneeza Ahmed Ali, who looked stressed, but quite pleased with herself during last night's rehearsal, is choreographing the fashion extravaganza. She has been engaged in various fields of entertainment space, such as acting and directing, over the course of her career.
'Impulse' by Ayesha Farid
Bringing much more vividness to the runway, Farid complemented her clothes with blues, greens, and pinks. Hers included sherwanis as well, with intricately embroidered collars. Danish Taimoor and Sunita Marshall were among the models who presented her collection.

Naushad Imdad
To be honest, Imdad's dresses really took one's breath away. His collection included both Eastern and Western elements, such as leather jackets, checks and block prints, double-breasted suits with bowties, as well as huge turbans and brights shades that exuded a sense of culture.

Amassing a troop of industry veterans, supermodels, and newcomers, the three-day event offers a wide variety of collections from various fashion designers, ranging from minimalistic, light embroidery work to dresses completely inspired by traditions from Pakistan's interior areas.
Arsalan Iqbal
Primarily, this collection delved deeper into the traditional style. Shiny sherwanis, sash-turbans, and dhoti shalwars were the highlight of Iqbal's work.

'Gogi' by Hassan Riaz
Easily the fashion show's eye-candy, Riaz's collection turned the catwalk festive, with heavy dupattas, shirts dominated by extensive embroidery, and crisp, starched turbans, all combined into a potpourri of glimmer. Khalid Anum also walked the ramp.
