The Seljuk Collection The Seljuk Collection by Khat e Poesh is inspired by the Turko-Persian dynasty that ruled Islamic lands at the peak of Islamic rule in the world. The fabric that has been used has been carefully paired with select motifs that have been chosen from the culture and the lifestyle of the Seljuks. We have used an array of summer fabrics, making sure that all preferences by our customers are met. The collection includes embroidery and print done on lawn, chiffons, lightweight silks, organzas and georgette with nets used to create a cool feel for the the summer. The colour pallette for the Seljuk collection compliments the fabrics in creating a summery feel that relieves the senses of stress and fights the heatwave. We have used neon yellows, pale pastels, evergreens, sky blues and blushing pinks to create a summery cool and to facilitate an ease of use of the garments by the customer.

What does art mean to you? I don’t think that’s a fair question. It’s trying to define a whole universe into a comprehensible sentence. It’s the art of creation - I don’t think I will ever be able to answer that.
Naveen Shakil Artist
MAY 13, 2018 | 68
@naveen.shakil
Who/what is your work influenced by? Life experiences. Life out on the street. Life outside of walls and boundaries. Life outside of any labels and preconceived conditioning of society. What was the very first piece you created? The best piece i’ve ever created and I’m trying to this day to make one better. It’s still on my parents fridge door...
weekend | Fashion
How would you describe your pieces? Stories. Every piece is a story. Yours, mine, theirs. All intertwined.
MAY 13, 2018 | 69
What kind of art do you most identify with, and why? Art isn’t identifiable. Its expression so It resonates with the artist that are compelled to created because its who they are.
weekend | Fashion
Is there anyone in particular you would like to create a piece for? Who would it be, and why? Coke Studio. Would love to take one of their Sufi songs and create a mural inspired by the music and lyrics. That being said, My current series called Khaki Banda is curated entirely by come studio music. Name a few artists who inspire you? Basquiat, Bob Marley, Shakespeare, Picasso because they did what they shouldn’t have. they went against the trend, against the rituals of money and created from their heart.
MAY 13, 2018 | 70
Where are your artworks available for sale? I try to stay away from eBay, but buy them at McDonalds on the back of some happy meals for a limited time. Or just send me a smoke signal. I’ll find the way to get my art to you. Anything new in the works to look out for? Every damn piece. Art is expressing reinvention every time. That reinvention is new every time otherwise the same thing would not be real or to be human

HEAVENLY
MET GAL
Popularly recognised as fashion’s biggest night out, The Met Ball is an annual coming together of the who’s who of the media and entertainment industries. The famous attendees make iconic style statements that give rise to a social media storm of polarised opinions. This year’s theme was Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination... and holy smokes did peeps turn up! This is where fashion gets so deep in your face, you just can’t blow it off! So here’s our take on the best, the worst and everything in-between at the MET GALA 2018! FUN FACT: Curator Andrew Bolton had to take persimmon from literal “Holy body” aka The Vatican to move forward with the divine inspiration in fashion theme.

Realisation no.1 When he asks you out, say “yes”. Mahvish Ahmad @mahvish.ahmad
MAY 13, 2018 | 82
I am a mum, an economics teacher, a photographer and apparently something what they call a blogger. I am a Lahori Karachiite so I like my biryani with lassi. I believe life is short so one should experiment with new things with a vengeance. I am a sucker for Bollywood, travelling and anything that’s sweet. I love Sidharth Malhotra and if he ever offers, I am ready to run away with him. Currently exported to Switzerland with love. Yesterday morning when I was standing in the middle of Cerelac, poop and laundry, my husband messaged to invite me for a dinner date. “Should I ask Angela if she’s free?” he said. Angela is the babysitter. I read the message, thinking about what to say, and my mind ran through the jampacked schedule I had with the kids today. As the baby hung on one corner of my hip, the defrosted chicken, unmade beds and dirty utensils from last night beckoned me. My 6-year-old had a friend com-
ing over again, in celebration of the Spring break, and I had promised them an outing. I was very tired, with lots of body aches (I guess that’s how all moms with babies are like) but I knew that was F’s way of telling me that he misses me. For months, he’s been having it hard at work with lots of things to tackle, longer than usual hours and no time for a break. Hence, we haven’t been as connected as him and I would like to be. We get the weekends, sure, but with the children, we are hardly
left with any space for ourselves. So, although the body demanded otherwise, the heart made me reply “yes”. In the evening, when I had accomplished all that I had to as a mom, it was time to play wife. I got into a simple monochrome outfit (easiest when you can’t think), pulled up my dirty hair in a bun (works when a shower sounds like too much work), put on some red lipstick (does wonders when you can’t be bothered with better makeup) and went out with my husband.
We skipped using the car and walked a slow-paced walk, admiring the final minutes of sunlight, the chilly breeze and the evening vibe of our small town. Opting for a Thai restaurant, we grabbed a table for two in the outdoors. Over a casual dinner, we got to talk and concentrate on each other after quite a while. Thanks to better weather, we took a stroll to the river with our favorite ice-cream cups after the food. While walking back home to our babies, I realized two hours for just me and him made such a difference. We had not felt this in touch with each other’s feelings in weeks and so, I was glad I didn’t take a raincheck because of my tiredness. The point here is that no relationships should be taken for granted - they all need to be cultivated and given time. Whether they are with your spouse, parents, siblings or your best friend. We lose sight of people who are important while getting through the daily struggles. But sometimes, we need to pause and correct that. I know my stamina is low when it comes to this time investment. Thus, I maintain very few relationships. But the ones I do, I try giving them my all, to value each special person in my life the way they deserve to be. That date night made me realize yet again that sometimes, mental refreshment cures physical tiredness while catching up with your loved ones. Pause for such catch-ups more often.
