SHOW 1: LFW RETAIL RUNWAY
The final day opened with the LFW Retail Runway, continuing the platform’s focus on manufacturing-led and retail-ready businesses and their evolution into stronger consumer-facing fashion identities.
RANG E HAYA
Rang e Haya presented a collection celebrating modern modest fashion through considered silhouettes, signature prints and refined cutlines.
Graceful coverage was paired with a strong contemporary identity, while exclusive in-house prints added depth, individuality and cultural nuance.
Clean tailoring, fluid layers and balanced proportions allowed the garments to move easily on the runway, shifting between soft draping and more structured forms.
Rooted in confidence, comfort and craftsmanship, the collection positioned modest dressing as a contemporary expression of strength, purpose and elegance.
MARIA OSAMA KHAN
Maria Osama Khan explored heritage-inspired occasion wear through rich velvets, gota and zardozi embellishment.
A vibrant palette of olive, coral, crimson and copper was complemented by opulent jewellery and confident styling, bringing colour and richness to the runway.
Traditional silhouettes took on a contemporary character through the interplay of texture, craftsmanship and proportion, creating a festive collection that balanced cultural reference with modern occasion dressing.
HARIS N TEHZEEB
HARIS N TEHZEEB celebrated Pakistani festive dressing through intricate embroidery, mirror work and layered dupattas.
A palette of mint, coral, saffron and grey introduced freshness across both womenswear and menswear.
The collection balanced familiar festive silhouettes with the exuberance of embellishment and colour, highlighting traditional craftsmanship while retaining an accessible and contemporary approach to occasion wear.
HASEENS
Haseens presented a romantic vision of bridal and formal dressing, pairing intricate handwork with fresh roses, gajras and statement jewellery.
Dusky pink, sage, rust and deep maroon defined the palette, while veils, ruffles and flowing drapes introduced softness and movement.
Drawing on heirloom aesthetics and ceremonial dressing, the collection balanced richly worked surfaces with romantic styling to evoke a sense of timeless celebration.
SHOW 2: LFW EDIT
The final LFW Edit of Season 2 brought together four labels with distinct approaches to contemporary retail fashion, moving from conceptual streetwear and deconstruction to occasion menswear and quiet, sculptural dressing.
DREAMS OF ARTHUR
Dreams of Arthur explored the intersection of streetwear, sculpture and resistance through oversized hoodies, leather and dramatic outerwear.
Sharp collars, faux fur and artful masking added texture and attitude, while exaggerated proportions gave the silhouettes a sculptural presence.
The collection used clothing as a language of identity, protest and belonging, allowing familiar streetwear codes to move into a more conceptual and expressive space.
DHUNDLI ZAMEEN – RUINS OF PERFECTION
Dhundli Zameen presented Ruins of Perfection, exploring what happens when fashion deliberately abandons order and embraces disruption.
The collection began with the idea of error as a design language. Garments appeared interrupted, displaced and partially destroyed, with visible seams, unravelled edges, distressed surfaces and reconstructed forms.
Asymmetry, layering and unexpected proportions disrupted familiar silhouettes, while references to damaged surfaces, discarded textiles, digital glitches and unfinished objects transformed destruction into creation.
Moving between chaos and control, the collection questioned the obsession with perfection and proposed imperfection as an identity in itself.
EDENROBE CEREMONIAL
Edenrobe Ceremonial presented a considered interpretation of occasion menswear, moving between traditional ceremonial dressing and contemporary eveningwear.
Embroidered sherwanis, regal turbans and velvet shawls were shown alongside sharply tailored tuxedos and evening jackets.
A palette of ivory, maroon, gold and midnight tones brought depth to the collection, while rich textures and traditional embellishment reflected the evolving wardrobe of the modern groom.
The collection balanced heritage and refinement with a contemporary approach to tailoring and formal dressing.
KIBO
KIBO explored a raw, nomadic sensibility through layered silhouettes, generous volumes and fabric that wrapped, gathered and moved around the body.
Japanese influences met a Pakistani perspective through elongated tunics, sculptural trousers and asymmetric construction.
A restrained palette of ivory, earth tones, charcoal, deep blue and black drew attention towards texture, proportion and the relationship between structure and fluidity.
Elemental and quietly assertive, the collection evoked a wardrobe shaped by movement and a life in transit.
SHOW 3: DESIGNER SHOWCASE
The final Designer Showcase of LAAM Fashion Week Season 2 brought together four established creative voices, moving from personal reflection and evolving couture to contemporary menswear and a finale built around celestial glamour.
ALI XEESHAN – MAQSAD
Ali Xeeshan presented Maqsad, a deeply personal collection conceived around purpose, gratitude and the journey of becoming.
Tracing the arc of the designer’s life and career, the collection reflected on the institutions, people and experiences that shaped his creative identity, from his formative education at Government College Lahore and PIFD to his evolution within Pakistan’s fashion industry.
Maqsad approached purpose as something in motion: a journey shaped by discipline, heritage and unwavering belief.
The collection also served as a tribute to the wider fashion ecosystem that enabled Ali Xeeshan’s larger-than-life and avant-garde design language to develop, acknowledging the people working behind the scenes and the institutions that created space for experimentation.
At its heart, Maqsad was gratitude translated into fashion, reflecting on the people, places and platforms that helped shape a creative life and career.
ERUM KHAN – THE RETURNS
Erum Khan presented The Returns, an evolution of the designer’s signature aesthetic.
Modern silhouettes, intricate detailing and contemporary couture came together in a collection reflecting the continuing evolution of Erum Khan’s design journey.
Rather than departing from the codes associated with the house, the collection reinterpreted them through a more current lens, balancing familiarity with progression and presenting an evolving expression of the brand’s couture identity.
MOHTARAM – AATH PEHAR
Mohtaram presented Aath Pehar, exploring contemporary menswear through a considered mix of ceremonial and evening dressing.
Ivory and peach sherwanis appeared alongside sharply tailored suits and richly embroidered jackets, while soft pastels, warm browns and jewel-toned brocades added depth to the palette.
Balancing traditional craftsmanship with clean tailoring, the collection offered a versatile interpretation of the modern man’s formal wardrobe, moving easily between heritage-led occasion wear and contemporary evening dressing.
HSY – VENUS
HSY brought LAAM Fashion Week Season 2 to a close with Venus, a Luxury Pret collection inspired by the planet and its celestial beauty.
Glamour took centre stage through a striking metallic palette spanning silver, chrome, gold, copper, rose gold, soft pinks and shades of blue.
Crystals, intricate hand embellishment, shimmer and statement hangings were worked across playful silhouettes and unexpected details, creating a collection defined by light, movement and visual impact.
Contemporary design met traditional craftsmanship through an exploration of shape, texture and shine. Structured elements were balanced with fluidity, while sparkle and metallic surfaces amplified the theatricality of the runway.
Bold, expressive and unapologetically glamorous, Venus explored the more daring side of Luxury Pret and brought the four-day Fashion Week to its final runway moment with unmistakable HSY drama.
With the conclusion of Venus by HSY, LAAM Fashion Week Season 2 came to a close after four days of fashion spanning established designer houses, emerging talent, high-street and contemporary labels, manufacturing and retail-ready businesses, and specially curated runway experiences.
Season 2 reaffirmed LFW’s ambition to create a platform where craft, creativity and commerce coexist, connecting Pakistan’s fashion industry with audiences far beyond the physical runway.
