For the third year in the running, Mustang Productions in association with Encyclomedia PR brought the South Asian Fashion Parade to London, this year holding the event at the trendy Saatchi Gallery in London’s Chelsea. The showcase featured the work of ten designers from India and Pakistan - Aashni + Co presents Anamika Khanna, Syeda Amera, Seher Tareen, Areeba Asif, REMA, Rani Emaan, Ali Xeeshan, Rose Room Couture (by Aashni + Co.), Hira Shah and Jyoti Chandhok – and while most of these may not be leading names either side of the border, some of them are rising and promising ones.
The major highlight of the event, which was held this week, included the five year old British Pakistani sensation Laila Naim (the first Pakistani model for 159 year old British luxury fashion house Burberry) who walked for renowned designer Ali Xeeshan. The five year old held Ali’s finger on the ramp while at the end Ali made an adorable gesture by holding Laila up so that she could look at the guests at the event.
