Ajrak-lead

Western fashion has taken inspiration from the east to launch popular fashion lines in the past. After Paul Smith’s inspiration of designing Peshawari Chappals and selling it as an international brand at hefty prices, a brand like Forever 21 has also taken a stance to copy Pakistani fashion, particularly Sindhi, taking inspiration from the traditional Ajrak style.

Sometimes, the fashion line is merely a copy of the local products, ripping off foreign customers. There was an outrage that followed Paul Smith’s sale of Peshawari chappals which were being sold for £300!
