Pakistan’s iconic fashion house, HSY is set to showcase their Fall/Winter Couture 2017 collection via a solo show scheduled for December 2017 in Karachi. HSY was among the select few pioneering fashion houses to first stage a solo show in Pakistan, with his solo debut in 2001.
“I am delighted to announce our 2017 couture solo show in the warm and wonderful city of Karachi; the city which stands as a major fashion force for the House of HSY,” says Hassan Sheheryar Yasin aka HSY. “With our brands’ natural evolution and in line with the international fashion movement too, we believe in the strength and power of having our own shows in order to fully share the entire HSY experience; empowering our brand and giving its innate aesthetic more liberty to express its spirit,” he adds.
HSY also announces that the brand won’t be taking part in any fashion week this year. “We have decided not to participate at any fashion weeks this year, we are delighted to come back full circle to the luxury and vision of a solo show and look forward to presenting our work on our own platform at the end of this year” the official statement reads.
