fashion-pakistan-week-17

Fashion Pakistan, is one of the leading platform for Pakistani fashion designers. Fashion Pakistan has a long tradition of holding bi-annual fashion weeks, with the very first Fashion Pakistan Week. The council has continually looked to new ways to support Pakistan’s growing fashion industry.

The Fashion Pakistan Council (FPC) organizes 2 fashion weeks in a year, one as spring/summer fashion week, and the other as autumn/winter fashion week. And this year, council has successfully completed its 10 years.

This time Fashion Week will be for 2 days instead of 3 days. Because the council has decided to invest on quality instead of quantity. The dates for FPW Spring/summer 2017 are the 22nd and 23rd of February, 2017. The event will feature some of the country’s most renowned labels.

Let’s see what’s happening on Twitter!

Quaker Oats Hosted A Brunch To Promote A Healthy Lifestyle & for a Good Start To The Day!

Everyone wants to live a healthy lifestyle, and for that perfect diet and nutrition are very important and is also important to start a good day. But when it comes to health then the question arises whether the breakfast we are taking is it healthier or not?

So, now Quaker Oats which is one of the popular brand of the world, has recently hosted a Quaker Oatsome Brunch at Cafe Flo in Karachi.

The brunch included a variety of delicious foods. The event was attended by many celebrities including Ahmed Ali Butt, Fatima Khan Butt, Maheen Karadar Ali, Rubab Ali, and Omer jamil among others.

The main goal of the brand is to encourage and educate Pakistani people to move towards health and wellness by including Quaker in their meals for a ‘Good Start to the Day.’

While commenting Sarah Syed (Brand Manager of Quaker Pakistan) said,

“We know that getting energy and nutrition in the morning positively affects the rest of our day. But all too often, the twists and turns of daily life get in the way and health takes a back seat. With Quaker, our effort here is to educate people about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle – which starts with healthy eating specifically in the morning, when you need the right energy to power you up. People should know that food high in nutrition can be very tasty and extremely good for your health.  The journey at the heart of it is to move towards a healthier Pakistan – one breakfast at a time – and help people unlock their day’s potential by eating healthy and ensuring a ‘Good Start to their Day’ with Quaker.”

Since our diet is incomplete without healthier breakfast, but now its time to add Quacker in our daily life to good start of the day and to have a healthier life without any doubt.

Here are some pictures from the event.

Sartyoon Sang Crafts Festival- SRSO

The 4th Sartyoon Sang Crafts Festival was organized by SRSO (Sindh Rural Support Organization) on 6th to 8th January – 2017, at Ocean Mall – Clifton, Karachi. The main reason behind the festival was to display the work around 1200 women artisans from the northern districts of Sindh.

SRSO is a non – for – profit organization, which is working in Sindh. It was established in 2003 with fund of RS 1 billion by government of Sindh for reducing poverty, skill development, health and education. While Sartyoon Sang (together with friends) is struggling to empower the women of slum communities of Sindh since 2011. Not only that, it also promotes crafts, culture, embroidery work, textile products and many others.

The festival attracted a large numbers of women residents of Clifton and other areas of the city since its very inauguration day. There was a wonderful display of Sindhi handicrafts by rural women, including home textiles, basketry, jewelry, dresses, dupattas, shawls, embellished with traditional embroidery and cutwork. It was a perfect mixture of all Sindhi ingredients under one roof.

The attendees were really enjoyed this festival so much, and were highly getting attracted by those beautiful crafts. As a result they were buying things like home-made slippers, crafts, decorated things, shawls, ajraks etc.

While talking about the festival Mr. Muhammed Dittal Kalhoro (CEO of SRSO) stated,

“The event objective was to facilitate better incomes for women artisans of rural Sindh.”

He continued,

“We have trained more than 10,000 women from some of the under developed regions of Jacobababad, Kandkot, Kashmore, shikarpur, Gohtki, Kambar- Shahdakot, Khairpur, and Sukkur that to help these women gain maximum monetary benefit from their skills, they have incorporated urban trends into their work.”

He further said,

“In order to set apart their work from what is available in the market, we have made a few innovations, such as net work done on the blankets.”

It was such a great initiative to promote Sindhi culture and crafts among urban people, by displaying amazing work by rural women at such platform where people go only for buying branded things. But it’s a beauty of Sindhi culture and its crafts that people automatically get attract towards it. And at the same time, it is also so beneficial for those rural women who are from the remote areas of Sindh that just because of this platform they get a chance to display their work due to which many people get attract, and as a result earn from it.

Here are the some of the pictures from Sartyoon Sang festival.
