And Vogue.The September Issue of US Vogue hit the stands and I savored each and every page and photograph. Then, I came across Carla Power’s article Revolutionary Style, discussing Pakistan’s Fashion Week amid the political turmoil and violence, and savored the magazine some more. Pakistan’s Fashion Week featured in US Vogue!? Needless to say, I was a little excited. While I was expecting to read the details about the designers and the latest trends, I was pleasantly surprised to learn about the revolutionary back story. The article focused on Ayesha “Tammy” Haq, CEO of Fashion Pakistan. She spearheaded and produced the whole Fashion Week event, making it happen against all odds and security concerns. Haq was so insistent because she wanted to instill hope to Pakistan through this under-represented facet of the talent & grace that lives within the fashion scene. Despite the riots, the opposition, the economic crisis and the corrupt government.
