ISLAMABAD: Local and international designers presented a series of one-of-a-kind conceptual pieces that were created using lightweight fabrics at the International Fashion Festival Pakistan (IFFP), 2022.

The event was organised by RED Media. Organisers said the event was a platform of multicultural exchange and business.

The IFFP 2022 was fundraising for charity with Voices Society, which is an organisation that worked for the benefit of dif ferently-abled people.

Designers, included Nina Naustdal, whose philosophy is `normal is boring`. All her pieces were handcrafted. Her premise was reflected in all her dresses.

Ahmed Bilal`s designs struck an almost unattainable balance between two contradictory states, whimsicality and boldness for the woman who stood apart from the crowd, high on her femininity and confident in her attitude.

They catered to the modern woman on the move, comfortable to wear yet exquisitely put together.

Tasawwur is the latest label to have emerged on the horizon of classic aesthetics and beautifully crafted dazzling creations. Founded by two fashion forces, Khadija Ahmed and Masooma Amir, the brand was born with the express purpose of catering to each individual`s imagination.

Classical dancer KhanzadaAsfandyar Khattak took to the stage and demonstrated his fusion of Pashto Khattak dance with the Indian classical Kathak and created Khattak Kathak. Ustad Dildar Hussain and Abrar Hussain Qawwal also performed at the ceremony.

However, as glamorous and well received the collections were, according to some, the choreography was poor and was missing spontaneity and rhythm.

`The few who walked out found it `uninteresting` and the repetitive music `not soothing`.
