ARTICLE BY : Abha Shah

Back and bigger than ever, this year’s Fashion Parade was held at the historic London venue, One Marylebone. For the first time, the event focused on Bridal and Luxury Prêt, making it the must-see catwalk event for anyone tying the knot this year.

Brought to you by Mustang Productions and with Khush Wedding as media sponsor, Fashion Parade 2017 showcased some of Pakistan’s leading designers to a nod to the 70th anniversary of Pakistani independence.

This year is also the first time you can buy any of the exquisite looks at Studio by TCS.

Credit cards at the ready….

Famed for his genius use of bold colours and riotous patterns, you can spot a Nomi Ansari masterpiece a mile off. Colours, patterns, trims and textures; this collection has it all. Nomi Ansari once again proves his mastery and skill in bridal couture.

We're all for traditional, but love updated looks on classic style. This gorgeously embellished jacket (far left) lifts the whole look, making it perfect for the modern bride.

The sari blouse gets a much-needed update (far right). Cut outs across the collarbone paired with full length sleeves gives this look a modern, almost futuristic vibe. Love!

Anyone with a Spring wedding on their calendar needs to take a leaf from Saira Rizwan’s book. We’re talking dramatic half capes, sleek trousers and chic pastel tones. Get ready to turn some heads

You can say goodbye to those ‘I’ve got nothing to wear’ moments thanks to Maria B. Cold shoulders details, glittering embellishments, and heavy on the attitude, we love her remix of the churidar.

We love the way Red Dot Jewels’ gorgeous ornaments and bridal pieces finish Rani Emaan’s embroidered lehenga. The Kaleray are a welcome shift in accessories trends – you heard it here first!

No matter how full her bridal trousseau, a girl always has room for more diamonds! We’re transfixed by the sparkle of Sherzad Jewellery’s distinctive designs, the perfect finishing for a glamorous evening bash.

Any bride would feel like a dream in Tena Durrani's collection. We’re head over heels for the embellished top (centre image), paired with oh-so statement billowy cape sleeves. Jewellery provided by JADAU.

Welcome to print paradise! Shamaeel Ansari’s three-piece whirlwind of prints, embellishment and embroidery makes this look distinctive, unique and refreshing. So chic for the engagement or drinks with the girls.

There’s looking like a Queen and then there’s looking like an Empress. Taking royalty to another level, Nilofer Shahid’s multi-textured gown is the epitome of drama. Slay girl, slay!
