Earlier, the council in a press statement said the upcoming FPW will be a two-day intimate, exclusive affair aimed at highlighting fashion and design.
Presenting collections in a glamorous atmosphere, best suited to watch a designer’s craftsmanship and vision come, FPW will be embracing the new digital format utilized globally.
The collections will be live-streamed along with the show from the venue. In a post-Covid-19 environment, FPW will be following International Fashion week’s trends and GOP guidelines by restricting seating and traditional fashion week practices.
This year has taught the world the importance of community, support and the power of donation. As a non-profit, the Fashion Council Pakistan understands the important role donors play in creating successful outcomes.
In this spirit, the up and coming FPW has promised to donate a percentage of its proceeds to Special Olympics Pakistan, FPW said.
