“My designs are for people who are young at heart. Age is not a limit,” she said. Her pieces were sold from an Indian multi-designer store in Mumbai, which, she believes, offers a lucrative market for her collections. “I plan on selling my designs at the store again. I know Mumbai is my market because people there love my creations.”
The designer feels that in comparison with Mumbai, people in Delhi shy away from experimenting with their apparel. “In Mumbai, girls are adventurous. They can wear anything, just like girls in Karachi. They are willing to be daring,” she said.
Adnan plans on offering structured ensembles for women that are suitable for the forthcoming winter season. “There will be structured clothes and I’ll use stretch fabric and silk. I want girls’ contours to show,” she shared.
Of the ever-evolving fashion trends in Pakistan, she said, “We used to wear dull colours and not experiment with vibrant hues. Now, we have begun wearing colours as bright as saffron and red.” As the Pakistani fashion industry continues to grow, the designer feels the government will have to devise a plan to facilitate its members.
