Two glamorous and high profile events were held in the country during the last fortnight. Lahore played host to Pakistan Sunsilk Fashion Week. Here, some of the latest trends seen on the runway were also spotted on the red carpet. Perhaps it’s because they started in the West and our designers are just now catching up with them. We have full coverage of the latest fashions for you in this issue. Then, the Lux Style Awards were held in Karachi organized by a Lahore team this time led by the multitalented HSY. Unlike last year, the proceedings were carried out without a hitch. Our celebs turned out in a dazzling array of Western evening wear with gowns for the ladies and suits for the men being the order of the day. There were barely any Eastern outfits to be seen. The inspiration for some of the gowns could clearly by traced back to certain world famous Western wear designers. There’s a fine line between being inspired and blatantly copying, as long as that is maintained, it’s all good.
Who wouldn’t want to turn back the clock?! World renowned doctor with a client list of the international who’s who, Dr. Mosaraf Ali claims to just that at his Time Reversal Spa, two hours away from Muscat, Oman. A spa go-er recounts her experience there and tells us about its therapeutic and regenerative benefits.
After her failed romance with industrialist and bachelor about town Ness Wadia, actress Preity Zinta seems to have disappeared from public sight. With more successful, younger actresses having snatched her limelight over a decade ago, it was known that she married an American last year, but no one really knew who that was. This issue’s Memorable Romance traces her journey to stardom and beyond into marital bliss with her Goodenough husband. Her marriage to an American rather than an Indian was not due merely to having fallen in love, but had its roots in how her strong, outspoken personality and how it led to issues with even progressive Indian men. We wish her all the best in the future.
See you next time!
