The convergence of exquisite haute couture pieces within this collection serves as a gateway to a realm beyond our mortal realm—an ethereal marriage of emotions and artistry that defies the boundaries of imagination. Imagine, if you will, the poignant moment of rukhsati—the bride’s departure from her parental abode—wherein a mother, laden with emotions, imparts her shawl upon her daughter. This gesture, laden with symbolism, seeks to shield her from the malevolent gaze of the envious, as if the very essence of the mother’s soul was woven within this ethereal garment. Fragrances intertwine, blending the scents of mother and daughter, as their hands clasp together one final time before the daughter embarks upon her new abode while classical music is being played in background. Such an instance embodies the epitome of fervent emotions, an apotheosis of intensity. Recalling the recording of the fashion film Hadiqa Kiyani said “For me it was quite special, the poetry i was signing was obviously my mothers last poetry so obviously it had the deep emotional impact on me” At the core of this extraordinary collection lies the soul-stirring shawl—a remarkable piece of cloth, spanning an astonishing 4.25 yards, which embraces the wearer with the warmth and love of a mother’s embrace. As a designer, Fahad has dedicated himself to the pursuit of capturing and conveying the essence of this profound emotional connection through his artistry—a quest that transcends the mere creation of garments. Enveloping this sublime narrative is the ethereal chorus crafted by Hadiqa Kiyani herself, her melodious voice resonating with the very spirit of her late mother. Each musical note, an evocative testament to the artistic finesse passed down through generations, represents a vanishing art form—a profound homage to the delicate artistry inherent in the realm of garments. Guided by the celestial harmonies composed by the maestro, Ustad Baqir Ali Khan, Fahad’s collection becomes a sanctuary for this dwindling art form—a precious vessel, safeguarding its essence for generations to come. The echoes of an ancient melody reverberate through each meticulously crafted ensemble, weaving a tale of a bygone era, entwined with the resplendent threads of modernity. In the enchanting realm of “Hazaro khuwahishain,” Fahad, Hadiqa, and their collective artistry converge, transcending the boundaries of time and space. They beckon us to immerse ourselves in this breathtaking spectacle—a symphony of emotions, melodies, and garments—a testament to the enduring power of love, heritage, and the transcendent nature of artistic expression.
