The 2003 Lux Style Awards were my favourite, it was my first ever LSA where we – the band – got an opportunity to perform and we also won quite a few awards

I have no clue about the designer lawns but I hope Deepak Perwani wins as I like his work

Frieha Altaf

The LSA in 2007 in Malaysia. It was a great opportunity to showcase Pakistani culture and arts in another country

No comments!

The Oscars of Pakistan

Deepak Perwani

The 2007 awards in Malaysia were the most different and fun. However, last year’s event, was also exciting because I won an award for best women’s wear

Although I would like to see my own lawn win, but realistically speaking, we only started this year, so I guess,

Sana Safinaz will take it

Glamour and style

Kamiar Rokni

The LSA event in Malaysia was my favourite because it was a great show and I won an award. All my friends were there and we were all staying together in this gigantic resort in Genting Highlands

Sana Safinaz, because they come out with the best product and they are leaders in this particular field
