KARACHI: Due to the increased outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19), the Fashion Pakistan Council (FPC) announces the decision to postpone its annual event, Fashion Pakistan Week 2020 until further notice.

The three-day fashion event was previously scheduled to be held from 9th to 11th April in Karachi. The decision to delay comes in the wake of the coronavirus spread and the precautionary measures taken by local authorities to enforce social distancing.

We’ve informed our designers and sponsors who agree with our decision and together we’ll reassess later in the year.”
