Previously held at the world-famous La Scala Square in Milan, GCFA 2020 is one of the most glittering events of Fashion Week, attended by some of the world's most influential people. This year’s event put a spotlight on the names that propagate sustainable fashion around the globe.

Ahad donned a unique outfit by Pakistani artisanal brand Rastah. According to Ahad, the outfit has been “handmade, and hand dyed – not only helping promote local artisans but also creating a near zero carbon footprint.”

Meanwhile Sajal repeated an outfit she wore during her wedding celebrations earlier this year to suit the core subject of the event – sustainability.
