4 top trends at FPW 2019

Here’s your cheat sheet for the Pret, luxury wear & bridal trends that ruled the runway at Fashion Pakistan Week 2019.

Mak Alkaram

Florals for spring may not seem groundbreaking but this is no ordinary flower power. Nostalgic, romantic blooms made a strong comeback & we love their super pretty vibes.

Hello Yellow

Perfect for spring/ summer, effervescent yellow made an appearance across both bridals & prêt. Find the right shade for your skin tone & you may never want to wear a different color again.

Durr ani

Fashion’s love affair with old world charm shows no sign of abating & we are all for it. Outfits that seem like they could have come straight out of our mothers’ & grandmothers’ wardrobes ruled the ramp.


Statement Sleeves

Puffy, flared, bejeweled, structural or renaissance inspired! You name it & we saw it this season on the ramp. While not the most practical of options, these statement sleeves are definitely head turners.

#EatWithWeekend

Slice of my heart The best PIZZAS in PAKISTAN The naughty option Easy

Address: 31-C, Khayaban e Shahbaz Commercial, Lane 4, DHA, Karachi @easybyfatsos The deep dish delights here are sinfully indulgent! Nothing lean about the gooey, cheesy pepperoni option or the detroit style pizza with whipped ricotta, sauteed mushrooms, truffle & rocket.

The healthy option

Cote Rotie

Address: Alliance Francaise, Plot/St-1, Block 8, Kehkashan, Clifton Karachi, Pakistan @coterotiekhi This popular eatery offers pizza choices that are as healthy as they are yummy. Their cauliflower option is a fave when we’re trying to be good. Try them out cos they’re nutritious & delicious!

The nostalgic option Gino’s

Address: Main Boulevard Gulberg, Oppositte Pace, Lahore. If you know you know! All the 90’s kids in Lahore remember this as the first/best pizza parlour in town. Old school, a little greasy (in a good way), uncomplicated & so good you’ll have to polish off the whole thing! Get whichever strikes your fancy!


The easy option

Jalal Sons

Address: Multiple locations across Lahore @jalal_sons Call us basic if you want but some days we just aren’t in the mood for fussy or fancy. That’s when this slightly desi style pizza pie is the one we hanker after. The chicken supreme & margherita are not just tasty, they’re also strangely comforting. Like a hug from the inside.

The Gourmet Option Rinas Kitchenette

Address: Restaurants in both Gulberg & DHA, Lahore. @rinaskitchenette To be honest we’ve never really had a mediocre pie at this hip eatery so you can’t really go wrong. But we’re personally obsessed with ‘Into the woods’ (homemade mozzarella, button mushrooms, basil & cherry tomatoes) and the pepperoni option served with divine spicy honey.

The Classic Option

Delish Pizza Bar

Address: 11-G Al Hafiz Tower, above Masooms Cafe, MM Alam Road Lahore, Pakistan @delishpizzabar When the mood for simple authentic pizza goodness strikes there’s nowhere else we would rather go! Conveniently available for delivery, their margherita pizza is a firm favourite on nights we need to unwind with carbs! YUM!

The Foodie’s Option Xander’s

Address: C 32 E St, Block 4 Clifton, Karachi. @xanderscafe This modern gourmet cafe is one of Karachi’s favorite haunts & boasts a wood fired oven that churns out incredible pizzas made with the freshest ingredients. Try the Feta & spinach one, the goats cheese & fig or if you want a non veggie option the chicken jalapeno pizza or the peppercorn salami.
