So it was a winter collection which included capes, jackets and tailcoats. And of course using our local craftsmanship which always gives a richer look, which is what sets it apart from the West. So it's a fusion line but it's a mix of the East and West so we have our used our local craftsmanship with Western designs.\"\u003cbr/\u003eUpcoming young designer, Zaheer Abbas, once again proved that he continues to mature. His latest collection offered a unique take on a cultural  taboo.  His 'Neo Nude' collection was intricate,  detailed and rooted in a limited color palette.\u003cbr/\u003e\"The inspiration behind the collection was a taboo because fashion or being fashionable is still considered 'vulgar' (fahashi) in Pakistan. So my inspiration came from this taboo,\" young Zaheer revealed.\u003cbr/\u003eThe designs hinted at bare skin through layers of fabric. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Sana Safinaz collection, created by Athar Ali Hafeez, showed a great range of styles and vibrancy. The audience gasped as the models walked the runway.  Others who featured on the first day included Ishtiaq Afzal Khan, Aamna Aqeel, and design houses Gul Ahmed Textiles and Levi's. \u003cbr/\u003eFor Hassan Sheheryar Yasin, himself a designer, but responsible for the event's choreography, the clothes on display on the first day validated his claim that Pakistani fashion can go to toe to toe with fashion from any other country. \u003cbr/\u003e\"There are lots of new countries out there that are also making headway in fashion. They don't necessarily have it; we have it. And what we have is a certain sense of fusion, a sense of sensibility because of also where we are placed in the world as well. The Middle East is also is booming and we want a slice of that pie. But what we bring to that slice of pie is heritage that perhaps they don't have. I think this is just the tip of the iceberg. I say give us another five years and if the world isn't knocking at our doors I'm going to have to say there's something wrong,\" Hassan remarked.\u003cbr/\u003eAamna Haider Issani, the Fashion Editor at one of the leading newspapers said the event has matured with time. \u003cbr/\u003e\"It had a very strong opening with Sana Safinaz, spectacular opening. There was color; there was vibrance; you could associate with the designs. There were a couple of designers who presented good collections today, one of them being Ayesha Farooq Hashwani. I thought she had some very strong elements. And of course there was the finale, Zaheer Abbas. It's good that the designers are sticking to their signatures. What he makes is what he puts out. He doesn't change with every collection. There were maybe some elements that I wasn't too fond of but on the whole it was a cohesive and strong collection.\"\u003cbr/\u003eFourteen more designers are scheduled to showcase their collections over the next two days and expectations are high. \u003cbr/\u003eAP Entertainment\u003cbr/\u003eKarachi, Pakistan - 25 Nov. 2014\u003cbr/\u003e1.
