PFDC Bridal Week brings on it’s A-game
Sana Safinaz and Faiza Saqlain among others were a fashion force out there
Sana Safinaz
The evening bridal showcase was opened with a solo show by Sana Safinaz who showcased their bridal collection ‘The Last of the Night’ in collaboration with Mahin’s World Jewellery and it was simply an ethereal recreation of a dream. It is a modern take on natural beauty set against the inanimate and captures a surreal vision within an urban, modern framework.
‘The Last of the Night’ boasts diverse designs in a variety of modified silhouettes including A-lines, slouchy sheaths, elaborate trumpets, front open shifts and ultra-dramatic back trails. It incorporated soft and dreamy hues including pastels such as powder blue, blush pinks, pale yellows with white silver and grey undertones and uses whimsical embellishments to make for an ultra-feminine yet starkly modern aesthetic.
