The celebrated fashion house returns to the Lahore runway with an exuberant new collection rooted in colour, craft and contemporary expression
Sania Maskatiya is set to open LAAM Fashion Week Season 2 in Lahore with LALEH, a new collection that celebrates colour, craftsmanship and the sheer joy of dressing up.
Drawing on the defining codes of the Sania Maskatiya design language, LALEH brings together painterly prints, expressive colour, playful layering and intricate heritage craftsmanship. Time-honoured gota techniques are reinterpreted through contemporary silhouettes, creating a collection that feels rooted in tradition while remaining instinctively modern.
Unrestrained in spirit and rich in detail, LALEH moves confidently between exuberance and elegance. Bold colour, intricate embellishment and unexpected combinations come together in a collection that embraces fashion at its most expressive, while retaining the refinement and craftsmanship that have long defined the house.
Speaking about the showcase, Sania Maskatiya, Creative Director and Co-Founder of SANIA MASKATIYA, said, “We’re incredibly excited to return to the runway in Lahore and to open LAAM Fashion Week Season 2 after so many years. There’s something very special about presenting a collection in Lahore again.
LALEH is joyful, exuberant and completely unrestrained. We wanted to embrace everything that defines our design language, from print and colour to craft, and really allow ourselves the freedom to push those elements without holding back. There’s a spontaneity to the collection that I love. It’s rich, intricate and beautifully extravagant, but above all, it captures the sheer joy of getting dressed and celebrating fashion.”
The LFW showcase continues an active year on the runway for Sania Maskatiya. Earlier in 2026, the designer presented TIYA at Colombo Fashion Week, bringing the brand’s contemporary, globally inspired expression to an international audience. The fashion house also participated in BLAZE, the fundraising fashion show held at the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture (IVS) in Karachi, as part of the wider coming together of Pakistan’s fashion and creative community.
For LALEH, the runway styling is completed with shoes by Charles & Keith and jewellery by Embellish by Saigals, complementing the collection’s bold yet refined approach to occasion dressing.
The Sania Maskatiya showcase will stream live on the LAAM App and ARY Plus App at 9:00 PM Pakistan Time on Friday, 23rd October 2026, allowing audiences in Pakistan and around the world to experience LALEH as it debuts on the runway.
Sania Maskatiya will open LAAM Fashion Week Season 2 on Friday, 23rd October 2026 in Lahore. The Fashion Week will continue through 26th October 2026.
Following the LFW showcase, LALEH will move from the runway to the Sania Maskatiya Lahore flagship store on Saturday, 24th October from 12 pm till 6 pm, for an exclusive viewing of the collection alongside the unveiling of the brand’s new Velvet Edit and a special meet-and-greet with Sania Maskatiya.
