WHO Iraj
WHAT Super Model
WHERE YBQ Concept Studio launch
Sufism is a way of life that has crept into all walks of life, all over the world. It is a part of popular culture, whether it's through music, films or even fashion. If Junoon could sing ballads in homage to Sufism ('Sayonee') and even Bollywood films could picture hit songs on the Sufic path of devotion, as in 'Khwaja Meray Khwaja' from Jodhaa-Akbar, then surely fashion cannot be far behind. And it obviously is not. Though we're well into winter in Pakistan, it is still considered fashionable to wear white the Sufi way. And no-one better to model how, than our favourite red carpet personalities.
 
 

All dressed for the Shab-e-Wajd Sufi Night hosted by GEO TV, many celebrities at Yousuf Bashir Qureshi's studio launch were dressed in white, all set to sit through hours of soulful music. Iraj was one of them and she made a statement while looking so simple in white. This kaftan, from the last collection at Teejays, is worn with loose white trousers to complete the look. And replete with her wild curls (which have thankfully grown back to glory), Iraj is quite a vision.

How to stir up your soul

Rizwan Beyg has been talking about all-white for over a year now and his vision is being replicated all around. Here he dresses up a foreign model at Milan Fashion Week where he showed earlier this year.
