Sanam Chaudhri’s collections give a nostalgic feel back to the Victorian era apparel with high collars and vintage lace works. She displays a cool and neutral color palette with the focal point being the layering and placement of white lace and trims of ivory borders at the end of sleeves and trousers. Coming to sleeve work, she eloquently displays a puffy sleeve with a long cuff layered by lace for just the right amount of exaggeration to elevate the tunic.

Not just catering to fancy eid outfits, Yasmin Zaman introduces a selection of limited cotton casuals for iftar and eid wear, keeping her kurtis light and breezy with minimal embroidered work that makes them soothing to wear out in this heat. Besides the casual cottons, she gives us fitted silhouettes adorned with scarce embellishments, providing you an opportunity to play around with accessories. You can make it formal or keep it simple by pairing it with your favorite summer flats.

Warda Saleem brings to us two collections curated together for her upcoming exhibition – a casual eid affair and a fancier fusion one. Drapes and cuts are what encompass her formal collection. They are accentuated with pearls and fine embroidery to give a reflection of all that is beautiful. Her kaftans are statement pieces themselves. Some are accompanied by intricate motifs, while others have just the right pop of colour to suit your style. Don’t let the casual matching separates fool you. They are made with luxurious resham thread embroidery and applique work, giving you just enough of an added edge this eid.
