As announced earlier this 2017, the PFDC is also introducing to the fashion industry an evolved show concept and structure with an aim continue to advance the pioneering platform towards an international and global standard and standing. The concept behind this structural change to the show format is to give each day of the fashion week a curated experience featuring either a solo designer or grouped designer/high street retail/lawn shows. Each of these shows will be divided between two entirely separate show spaces and two independent ramps within the same venue in their respective time slots [no coinciding or simultaneous shows], a first in Pakistan.
