Show One on Day Three of the bridal extravaganza kicked off with the designer extraordinaire Ali Xeeshan’s Numaish. His collection was a pledge against the old-age tradition of dowry and an effort to educate today’s youth to say no to dowry, followed by Sable Vogue Atelier’s Mussarat Sultana featuring exquisitely handcrafted renaissance pieces that were cut to perfection and intricately detailed in Swarovski, zari, tilla, marori, hand-worked pearls and Mukesh. Next in line was Jermyn Street’s Shab-e-Vasl which was a fine blend of sequins, pearls, tilla, zardozi, dabka and embroidery. Each piece of this collection was crafted to perfection and tailored to class, followed by Ayesha & Usman’s Riwaayat showcasing a harmonious blend of beloved tradition and timeless stories. Show One of PHBCW concluded with One of Pakistan’s rising fashion brands, Nisa Hussain’s debut bridal collection. Her collection reflected the brand’s take on traditional subcontinental bridal wear, infused with the designer’s signature silhouettes and embellishments. Set in rich, luxurious materials and embellishments, the collection had a diverse colour palette ranging from neutrals to red.

Ahsan’s Menswear was next to showcase his collection River which was a culmination of bespoke fabric, prints and the designer’s master craftsmanship. The Pantene HUM Bridal Couture Week 2020 came to an end with Zaha Couture’s Rashk-e-Qamar.
