Pantene Bridal Couture Week (PBWC) organised by Style360 kicked off to a rollicking start on Sunday. The beautifully decorated lounge and red carpet area, complete with fresh flower arrangements set the tone for the evening. The ramp created on straight, modern lines gave a beautiful contemporary look in marked contrast to the more classic sets normally used at PBCW. Playing with layers and lights and images of nature the set was stark white so as not to detract attention from the clothes and gave a surreal look to the venue. The show began with a bang with a Pantene hair mob choreographed by BodyBeat Productions and with the Pantene brand ambassador Nina Lotia appearing on the ramp for a mock hair-styling of models. Hardly had the audience caught its breath when Zainab Chhotani displayed her elegant collection comprising heavy bridals in beautiful combinations which were an instant hit. Her showstoppers were donned by Nida Yahsir, Fahad Mustafa,Urwa Mawra, Zhallay Sarhari and Shaista Wahidy. Nadia Chottani came in next with her elaborate jewellery collection. Her showstopper was donned by Tamina Chaudhry. After an exuberant performance by the charming couple, Aamina and Mohib, choreographed by BodyBeat Productions, Saim Ali came on stage with his very ‘bling’ collection. Noor, Hamza Ali Abbas and Amna Malik donned his showstoppers. Mona Imran closed the first show with a collection that boasted aesthetic combinations which included ‘saris’, ‘lehngas’ and ‘peshwas’. Hina Dilpazeer also opened her show with Saud and Javeria appearing in her ensembles in the middle and Maira Khan at the end. The second show opened with striking ensembles by Zaheer Abbas. Humaima Malik donned his showstopper after which Amna Ajmal displayed her colourful line. Her showstoppers were donned by Babrik Shah attired as a groom and Mehreen as the bride. Aamina and Mohib’s enjoyable performance followed. The show came to a vibrant and impressive end with a rich and heavily worked collection of the highly creative Asifa and Nabeel.
