More than 10 menswear designers from Karachi and Lahore presented their eclectic creations at Pakistan’s first-ever Men’s Fashion Show, a platform that aims to create a separate space for the country’s burgeoning male fashion industry.

Organized under the Karachi Fashion Week, the two-day-long event was opened by Pakistani design talent Yahseer’s collection titled Celebration. Keeping the scorching summers in mind, the line’s multi-hued eastern cut ensembles featured printed double-breast jackets, long and tail coats as well as hats.

Fashion label Daniyal, by the Asian Institute of Fashion Design (AIFD) alumnus Waleed Bilwani, showcased a line made of thickly woven cotton at the event. Based on various shades of orange, the range included both eastern and western casual and formal wear.

Drawing inspiration from the design sensibilities of Persian western border and northern India, Shahnameh brand presented black and white angrakha-cut sherwanis and richly embroidered long shirts.

Faisal and Shaban Shab’s Couture featured more costume like pieces at the event. Infused with vertical beige panelling and metal studs, the dramatic collection included cape coats and stylish sheer black tops.
