As the demand for the Pakistani fashion industry has increased tremendously in the last few years, new experiments are being made in the world of fashion.

A magnificent colourful fashion show was held at Area 51, Defence, in Karachi on the theme ‘Nakhlistan’. Beautiful models presented dresses at the event that seemed to flow like water in the vastness of the desert.

The participation of internationally renowned models and film and television artistes made a splash. The participation of renowned actors like Ahad Raza Mir, Ahsan Khan, Khushhal Khan, Azfar Rehman and Ali Rehman attracted the audeience.

Fareshteh Imran organised the festival that was attended by important figures from the creative, fashion and entertainment world. Renowned designers Huma Adnan and Amir Adnan were there to support their daughter, whereas well-known theater personality Nida Butt also attended the event. The fashion show created the illusion of a journey towards an oasis in a desert full of ancient mysteries and modern beauty.

The garments featured at the show had softness and durability and told a hidden story. Parishae Adnan officially took charge as the CEO of the brand at the event. The show symbolised refuge and hope in the midst of uncertainty and vastness. The Nakhalistan Collection 2025 was a beautiful blend of tradition and innovation, with muted shades of desert colours, light pastel shades depicting mirages and intense blacks.

The garments were fluid as well as strong, representing both strength and fragility. The beautiful embroideries and silk linings adorned with oasis motifs were a testament to Parishae’s skill and dedication. The stunning sets of the fashion show also won the audience.
