Faiza Samee collection at Pakistan Fashion Extravaganza

The Pakistan Fashion Extravaganza took place at the Jumeirah Carlton Tower Hotel in London on the 18th April 2009. There were a range of Pakistani designers showing diverse collections.

Let's start with the Faiza Samee collection. There were bright colours, and a lot of beautiful floaty fabrics. If you click on each image, for a larger view, you can see all the small details that go into each outfit to create interesting shapes and avoid the cloak/poncho look.

The collection also had some darker coloured outfits, still on the floaty theme, but with slightly heavier fabrics and layering for more eveningwear type of look:

The finale of their show was this outfit, which showcased wedding wear, whilst still keeping true to the style of the collection - bright colours, floating fabrics and layering, but this time with heavier embroidery and a more fitted shape:
Overall, I really liked this collection, I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable wearing the first 3 outfits in England, but stick me on a beach or in a warmer climate and I'd happily wear them out and about. Another thing that's great about these outfits is that that majoriry don't show too much skin, making them ideal for the ladies out there who want to look fashionable and feel beautiful without showing off their arms and legs.
