New Delhi : It’s long kurtas with ghararas and shararas, and colours like black, white and cream, unheard in the Indian bridal wear lines, which Pakistani designers are set to offer to the couture bridal market of the country, through the newly opened PFDC – The Boulevard, a one-stop shop for designer wear from across the border.
PFDC (Pakistan Fashion Design Council) – The Boulevard houses designs by as many as 18 designers from the neighbouring country. It will offer a wider range than what’s already available in the Indian market, says Mini Bindra, the brainchild behind bringing PFDC to India.
“PFDC is bringing a wide range of designs, cuts, embroidery, colours from which the Indian consumers can choose. We are hoping for a positive response as the Indian consumers will be getting a variety of products to choose from,” Bindra told IANS on the sidelines of the launch of the store here Thursday.
“The Pakistani cuts, colours and styling is very different from what we see here in India. For example, they use a lots of ecru and cream in their bridals, which we don’t get to see here in India.
“This would give a variety to choose from, for our Indian customers. These designs would add another new concept to their wardrobe. Saris are always in vogue in India, whereas Pakistani fusion salwar-kurta is relevant for anywhere in the world. IANS
