Faiza Samee at the 2011 Pakistan Fashion Extravaganza in London ~ asian fashion blog

Here's the collection from Faiza Samee as shown on the catwalk at the 2011 Pakistan Fashion Extravaganza which took place last month in London. A big thanks to photographer Shahid Malik for these great photos.

The show started with these two orange outfits:

Orange isn't usually a colour I'd immediately choose, but I think the shade chosen is not too bright. I like the top one better because it has fitted sleeves and nicer detail on the neckline, not loving the loose sleeves on the second outfit.

After four light-coloured flowing outfits, came these two outfits which I think had a little bit too much going on with them with the print sleeves and different fabric panels. They made a definite contrast to the light flow-y feel to the previous outfits:

I liked the next four outfits, they had that light summery feel but were a bit more formal and I think there was a good balance between embroidery and colour choices:

These next two outfits I liked from the waist up. I don't like the heaviness of what looks like velvet to complete the tops and then to pair that with velvet trousers too ruins the look for me.

I really liked this purple outfit:

This one confused me a bit with all the layers - a long top, a skirt and pajama bottoms too?? and I don't like the way the top sticks out (presumably where the skirt starts underneath?)

They usually save a showstopper for the final outfit, and this did make me think wow, I love the detail on each part of the top, but personally I'm not a fan of tops this long - you can barely notice the skirt (or is it trousers?) underneath.
