After two days of everything fashion, the third and final day of Fashion Pakistan Week Winter/Festive 2017 concluded in a burst of extravagant bridal couture by Sana Safinaz on Thursday, at the Global Marquees in Karachi.
The Sana Safinaz, finale collection, ‘Roses and Rue’ was an exquisite visual monologue and showcased a revival of floral elements. A tantalizingly delicate yet deliberately powerful collision in a showcase of contemporary bridal couture with a distinctive western aesthetic resulted in a collection that was breathtakingly provocative. The audience walked into a set that gave a nod to the forest, with faux trees and boulders and shrubbery incorporated onto the runway.
The beautiful set that took our breath away!
On it flowed meticulous compositions of varying fabrics in organza, silk, velvet and voile Rendezvous in dramatic silhouettes that commanded attention. It harmonized streamlined cuts with flirty peek-a-boo cut out details and décolleté necklines alongside fully flared layered skirts. An array of gorgeous hues, ranging from deep jewel and middle tones to ivory whites and frothy pastels result in an alluring and overtly feminine appeal.
The stunning dramatic silhouettes caught all the attention!
Each garment was adorned with intricate work of Swarovski crystals, semi-precious stones and pearl detailing in bold section compositions, three-dimensional floral appliqués adorned with feathers.
Fringes, tassels and elaborated woven detailing added a distinctively lush and whimsical touch.

A range of sherwanis, waist coats, and jackets in sharp innovative cuts had an unapologetically debonair and sophisticated outcome. And that’s not it, each piece had an elevated feel of royalty and grandeur with studded gem and defined cuts.
The cocktail crowd, lapped up the body fitted long dresses all delicately embellished, the bustiers and the trousers that were all Oscar-wearable.
Dark greens and blacks, the silver work on the long gowns glimmered in the light, screaming luxury and distinctiveness. As the models strode, they looked nothing but lordly straight out of a fairy-tale movie.
