Pakistan Fashion Week The designer Hassan Sheheryar Yasin acknowledged the crowd at the end of his show
Last year, Lahore, the cultural and artistic capital of the country, was attacked several times by militants who struck at military and police installations, and wreaked havoc in public places. So security for Fashion Week was tight. Nevertheless enthusiastic Lahorites attended the event in droves. The response even surprised Hassan Sheheryar Yasin, one of the country’s most famous designers, whose collection under his labelHSY featured couture menswear and womenswear.
“We were not sure people would turn up”, said Mr. Yasin, who is also the spokesperson for the Pakistan Fashion Design Council. “So, a big round of applause for Lahore.”
