Long story short

 

WHO Sahar Atif

WHAT Flowing long kameez

WHERE , PFDC Sunsilk Fashion Week


It's a question that has plagued journalists, designers and brides-to-be preparing truck loads of their trousseau: when will the hemlines go up? It seems that as long as the economy is heading downwards, so is the length. International runways trend reports for the Fall have confirmed with long trench coats, high waisted pants, skirts and dresses that the long lengths are to stay. In this side of the region ofcourse the lengths will be translated into the trailing kameez masquerading as a ball gown. But whose complaining? The glib fabric manufacturers are ecstatic, aunties with ample bosoms and behinds are happy, and the girls get the princess look and flutter around with a flounce. Sahar Atif's Grecian gown look scored high at the PFDC Sunsilk Fashion Week earlier in the year with its whimsical feel, as sheer ensembles glided one after the other on the ramp and soared high with critics and audiences alike. So and get those angharkhas and handkerchief kameezes made for Eid without any apprehensions. Long, it appears, is beautiful.

To cut it longer...
Michael Kors makes the strongest statement for length this Fall by pairing a long trench coat with high waisted pants.

New kid on the block, Syed Rizwanullah's masterpiece at the Fashion Pakistan Week 2, uses the ample length to sketch his intricate Islamic architecture theme.

For the ultimate Fall look, Richard Chai Love uses a very 1980's
midnight blue cardigan with long tapering sleeves and nude silk culottes. A great blend of trends and textures that makes a unique fall statement.
