LSA Gowns: He’s got the talent
The man credited with bringing forth Alexander McQueen-inspired creations to the ramp at the Fashion Pakistan Week 2010 and later earning applause for depicting the aesthetics and tastes of Rajput princess Mirabai at an exhibition stole the spotlight once again Pakistani fashion designer Fahad Hussayn was the ‘Queens’ gown-maker’ at this year’s Lux Style Awards’ (LSAs) red carpet.
In an event where some designers produced disasters, Hussayn was in a league of his own and Amna Ilyas, who was wearing a gown by the designer, won ‘Best Dressed Female on the Red Carpet’.
“All four ladies I dressed up for the red carpet looked comfortable yet glamorous in their outfits, which I had designed according to their personality.”
Aamina Sheikh
“She is an excellent model, great performer and a brilliant actor with a multi-dimensional personality — she is powerful yet conservative. So for her, I designed a black backless gown, which was studded with crystals giving it a very formal look.”
Frieha Altaf
“I made Frieha a black Grecian drape dress, which had a waist-belt. If you know her, she has a very overpowering and strong personality so while designing I made sure I gave the outfit a goddess-like feel to it. If you looked closely, you would have thought that she had a warrior princess look about her.”
Amna Ilyas
“Amna wanted to look feminine. She has a very tomboyish personality and I had to make sure that the feminine side in her comes out. The cobalt blue Grecian drape, which had a (criss-cross back), made her look sexy and suited her beautiful skin tone.”
Noore Bhatti
“Noore has this rockstar persona about her. She wore a jumpsuit which I chose for her because she is definitely a trendsetter. I wanted to give her a different look with stripes.”

good prom maker!
i totally agree with the above commet. the photos of the entire event posted by express tribune are weird close ups.
Red carpet photos are meant to show case the entire outfit. They are supposed to show the whole person. Medium close ups of the head and shoulders do not fulfill that purpose. Express Tribune, please ask your photographers to review photo albums of celebrities on the red carpet of international events.
