Designed as an bi-annual, globally scalable event, each edition will showcase high street labels, textile houses, luxury brands and couture ateliers through a curated series of runway shows presented over multiple days in a single edition. LFW’s strategic objectives include empowering Pakistani designers to scale internationally, fostering interconnected creative industries, bringing South Asian craft heritage to global consumers through digital innovation and opening new revenue streams for local brands and artisans – anchored in the ethos of Made in Pakistan. Worn by the World.
“Through LFW, we are creating a model designed to reframe how Pakistani fashion is experienced, positioned and sold, expanding its presence within global retail and, in time, embedding it in international fashion discourse. Having had the privilege of being part of creating and producing over 20 fashion weeks in Pakistan, I’ve seen extraordinary creativity on our runways and seen the opportunity to connect those collections to consumers everywhere. Co-creating this platform with LAAM, whose digital innovation and global reach make them uniquely positioned to lead this evolution, is an exciting opportunity to shape a new chapter for the industry and the global consumer.”
