VIDEO: Fashion Show in New York
Top Pakistani models and designers showcased their talent and creativity at a memorable Fashion Show held at Pakistan House in New York Sunday night, as part of the efforts to project the country's soft image.
Over a dozen models wearing a range of flowing garments, including formal dresses, with intricate gold and silver thread work done on them, sashayed down the catwalk as Pakistani music played in the background.
The models -- including Cybill Chaudry, Annie Ali and Irum Bukhari -- drew loud and sustained applause from a large and distinguished gathering of prominent Americans, diplomats and members of the Pakistani community.
Pakistan's Ambassador to the United Nations, Abdullah Hussain Haroon, was the guest of honour at the glittering event, which was organized by the Consulate General of Pakistan, New York, in collaboration with renowned experts Asim Yar Tiwana and Hamid Latif, Colour Director of Vidal Sassoon, New York.
Titled "Colours of Pakistan 2012", the show featured some famous Pakistani designers like Umar Sayeed, Raani Emaan, GOAL, Ghazala Asam and NZK Studios. Their creations in a number of styles and vibrant colours were highly praised by the knowledgeable audience.
"This is an exercise in cultural and public diplomacy to project positive image of Pakistan and to highlight Pakistani culture and heritage," said Consul-General Fakir Asif Hussain, the spirit behind the event.
Welcoming the guests, Asif Hussain said, "With the world focused on Pakistan's problems in recent years, many other positive areas of the country, including its thriving fashion industry, have not received the recognition they deserve.
"Far from being confined within geographical borders, Pakistan Fashion has gone global, leaving its distinct mark on almost every major culture in the world."
