GOLD DUST BY SANA SALMAN Sana Salman’s latest collection Gold Dust is a fusion of the east and west, inspired by vintage embellishment and delicate gold work which was prevalent in Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries. This collection features the label’s signature embroidered jackets among other stylish separates. As it’s name suggests, the collection’s primary colours include golds and blues which add to the sophistication of the ensembles and enhance the collection’s overall grandeur.

the In Spotlight Mehrbano Sethi talks to Paperazzi!
How would you define your personal style? My personal style is very understated. I like to keep things minimal and elegant. I have a handbag fetish that underscores all of that. What’s the best thing anyone has ever said about your work? Since Luscious Cosmetics is a consumer goods company, I get an incredible amount of feedback from customers, retailers and the market overall. There is a lot of appreciation for the quality of the products I develop. Each time I hear it, it is the best thing I’ve ever heard! What is your biggest strength as an entrepreneur? I would say it is my focus, persistence and relentless motivation to continue growing my company. How would you define the fashion industry in Pakistan? Overall, it has evolved a lot over the past few years. Whether it is on the ramp or in real life, one sees a lot of great fashion and style. Everyone is savvy about fashion with the onslaught of media, fashion weeks, and local/ international retail brands. I do think that Pakistanis are overdosing on designer labels. How would you describe your childhood? It was lovely. I am an only child so I was a bit spoiled with a lot of attention from adults. Having no siblings forced me to read books voraciously and listen to music in order to entertain myself, something that children today miss out on. What do you value most in your friends? I value their loyalty and lack of competitiveness. I’m lucky to have a collection of warm, funny and quirky friends. 40

Who are your fashion influences and inspirations? I’ve realized that one of my main fashion influences is my mother. She liked the best quality, yet simple and understated things. I have a collection of her cashmeres, shawls and clutches which are gorgeous, yet timeless. They will still be au courant when my daughter grows up. Other influences and inspirations include Alexander McQueen (I love rocker chic) and Valentino Garavani. I also love the sophisticated aesthetic of Sana Safinaz, the femininity of Elan, and Faraz Manan for Crescent for my personal eastern wear wardrobe. What is your greatest fear? Losing a loved one. What is something very few people know about you? I write computer code as a hobby. What do you like to do for fun? I love spending time with my toddler daughter. Going to the park and reading to her from my old Enid Blyton books is great fun. I also like to watch movies (my husband and I are movie buffs) travel and read. What do you wish you had more time for? So many things. In today’s lighting paced lifestyle one doesn’t get to do enough of anything. I wish I had more time to start several new business ventures. I also wish I had more time to go to the spa. What’s your favorite holiday spot? For my husband and I, the only real holiday is a beach with limited wifi access. It has to be La Digue in the Seychelles. Who do you look up to? I’m the quintessential Daddy’s girl. My Dad is my best friend and mentor. He is the only person who is able to influence and sometimes change my strongest opinions. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? I would really love to be a morning person. If you asked my friends and family, they would heartily agree. Who is your go to person for uncontrollable laughter fits? My friends Kamiar Rokni, Mashal Peerzada and Sanam Taseer are absolutely hilarious when we’re all together. Where would you like to be in 5 years? I love what I do, and in five years I would like to have created a skincare and haircare division within Luscious Cosmetics.
our-perception-of-beauty debate has been written and talked about again and again, I honestly think our generation finds itself in an even bigger quandary now, today, an idiotic, dismal suffering not known to those before us. And how we continue to suffer.

love lust & attraction
Marriage. Suitable partners. Love. Attraction. Chemistry. Good enough. Workable? Potential! Good God. What is it? And how can we claw our way back out of this delusional, keepup-with-the-social-media-Joneseslook-all-perfect quagmire to understand what love and companionship should entail? I think it all boils down to our understanding of the word: intimacy. Intimacy: the state of being in a very personal or private relationship. Synonyms: belonging, chumminess, closeness, inseparability, intimacy, nearness. [Reference: the Merriam-Webster dictionary]
Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s directorial debut, ‘Don Jon’ is a pretty good movie. In a nutshell, the movie depicts the modern dilemma of love, lust, and attraction; skewed emotions thanks to the smut dished out by way of the pornographic industry, and the media at large.
But what really is intimacy, how do we understand it, and how do we get there? Does intimacy spring forth from kindness? Gentility? Chivalry? Raw honesty? Heart-on-sleeve innocence? Mental compatibility followed by the promise of physical affection? Selflessness? Inner happiness that exudes from a wholesome human being? Charisma (brought about by some wretched life experience)? Sexy worldliness? Intellect? Softness?
But the movie got me thinking. Isn’t it incredible how some of us jump into bad relationships, putting up with partners who revert back to their old, (initially) concealed ways, once the romance has filtered out the window? While the whole the-media-has-warped-
Intimacy cannot grow from what is immediately seen. That I know. That’s attraction, and it’s fleeting. But does attraction, lust, dupe us? Does it constantly dupe us, for the rest of our lives, where we don’t care to see that the person before us is completely in-

compatible with us? Why are we so terrified of being alone? And why does the fear of being alone, prod us to desire this perfect, all-wonderful idea of what companionship should and could be? But we really don’t desire companionship. We desire a meal ticket. We desire good looks. We desire physical perfection. The unattainable package. Superman (whose mother loves you “to bits and pieces”) with his square jaw and piercing eyes as he whisks you off (whee!) into the marital delight of beauty, silks and credit cards. Oh the plastic-consumerism, the sunshine of it all. You desire the woman, the goddess, with her endless legs, and flowing locks, who can charm the pants off your parents and your friends, and whisk you off into a sea of pleasure and, well, pleasure. But then. Intimacy. It remains a gaping hole, widening by the day, and you think, how can I ‘find’ myself in this person? Who is this person? Who am I? But the want you started out with isn’t the want you desire so deeply now. You are ravenous for intimacy, but you can’t find it. You’re limp. And that winds up into an emotional indifference, a detachment, a rejection of things, people. How emotionally stunted are we – how painful an existence. The ego, the glorious ego, retained within, protected, lest our defenses fall too low, lest we are too vulnerable. Intimacy: vulnerability. That’s where it stems from. Vulnerability is attractive, beautiful. Fearless in the face of consequence.
