[shamk9]

[shamk9]

Wohooooo!!!!! Love it, we need more of them

[Jrsingh82]

At 1:36 she says ''he is the George Michael of fashion in Pakistan''. I am no fashion expert but George Michael is a singer and not a fashion designer unlike Georgio Armani.

[shamk9]

Wohoo, I love pakistan fashion weeks

[IndianLadka9]

hot models, just look at 0.31 this guy have blue eyes and blnd hair

[cirrhosed]

I love Deepak Parwani saying you have no idea about fashion, do you?

To my Indian friends, this guy Deepak Parwani, is a Hindu by relegion and he is one of the leading fashion designers of Pakistan, based in Karachi.

[khwrshj]

FASHION INDUSTRY IS ZIONIST SOCIETY.

This is not how around 95% of Pakistanis believe, live, behave and like their country to be.

It's a joke.

[PrinceBravo]

A am totally agree with this reporter, Proud to be a Pakistani

[bilalbutti]

Wht dah f***!!! Your country is at WAR and you are out there showing how bold you are...wake up PAKISTANI PEOPLE...this is jst another plot by your neighbors to strip you of your Ideology, Islam, and your identity, Pakistan. Be proud of your self and your own culture, you don't have to be someone you are NOT !!!

[cuttestone]

this is begharati in the name of fashion this is not even fashion this is extremism on the other side like vulgarity nd stuff islam tell muslims to be modest nd elegant not naked so fuck this fashion week held in karachi this is fucking bull shit

[freebee007]

This is ok for enlightenment but look preety detached from masses in pakistan , n shw how elite n affluent class live in poor war n flood ridden country,

[deceptacongrl]

wow, those designs are amazing. Very nice job!

[sugerfre]

there some good stuff happing in pakistan but i find these designer quite rude and and big headed......

[MASTERJAX]

Yes I’m aware that he's a Pak Hindu and it is very good to see different faiths and ethnicities within Pakistan coming together and showing their talent to the world ;) well-done!

[imthestalker12]

Haha and fashions going to solve all our problems? Why are we wasting our time on this crap. What about education, the poor, the whole caste system problem? Haha you people are so lost.

[MASTERJAX]

Deepak Parwani is a Pakistani Hindu

[indusengineer]

@MASTERJAX Perwani is a Sindhi-Hindu designer, from Sindh Province, PROUD TO BE SINDHI. He is also a designer for Shah Rukh Khan. I've had a shirt designed by Perwani that Shah Rukh wore in Don, it cost me earth :-)...He's a hell of a designer...

[CreativeZed]

This video is a good example of how the 5% elite of Pakistan is trying to impose their west influenced mentality on the majority of Pakistanis that hate this vulgarity and shamelessness just as much as they hate terrorism.

These elites should try wearing these dresses and go out on the streets of Pakistan and they will find out what the vast majority of Pakistanis think about them.

[salman501]

@CreativeZed I think the vast majority of Pakistanis have been kept under the cover for far too long thats the reason they have become extremist and so unopen to things, Islam Islam Islam have to bring it in everything result is in front of us, A religion that means Peace has been given such a bad name due to the mullahs who havnt given us anything good apart from sectarianism and stupid fatwas...so Please let ppl do what they want to in short live and let live

[CreativeZed]

@salman501

I am afraid its you who has been kept under the cover if you think that the vast majority of Pakistanis are extremists. If the vast majority of Pakistanis were extremists then events like the one shown in this video could never happen in Pakistan. People who look up to the west as their ideals, try to follow them with their eyes and minds closed and feel proud to be their ideological slaves need to realize that half naked women walking on stage is backwardness, not modernism.

[salman501]

@CreativeZed i never said that vast majority is extremist but yes the masses have been kept in dark. I am not going in the discussion of whether the naked women walking on the stage is backwardness or not. all i was saying was there should be freedom, and if u thing this is so bad, mate why dont we do something about the stage shows and mujras are they okay, they are the most vulgar of them all. the way u said that i am the one who has been kept in dark gives an indication of what i meant.

[salman501]

@CreativeZed may be i was a bit too harsh in my first comment about extremisim, but yes, all i was saying live and let live. the reason we see these things today is coz our policies (keepin ppl in dark) has resulted in us following the west so much and the ppl cant be blamed for that, Mullahs failed Pakistan, forget helping the ppl towards the right path, they keep fighting among themselves. result ppl got so fedup they did whatever they like and they cant be blamed for that. thanks

PAKISTAN ZINDABAD

[clifton7777]

Pakistan Zindabad!!!

[noorkhanuk85]

PAKISTAN ZINDABAD!!! GO GIRLS!!! Show the entire world what we've got!!! We got one thing to say to you conservatives, taliban and mullahs............IN YOUR FACE!!!

[noorkhanuk85]

To all my Pakistani brothers and sisters commenting out here....I fully agree with you. Conservatives who are the 'mullahs' with white beards and 'topis' are not the future of Pakistan. The young and well educated liberal People of Pakistan are the future of Pakistan. These fashion shows are the first step. I fully support these fashion shows and I am very proud of our women who are portraying Pakistan in good light. Keep up the work ladies. We Pakistanis are proud of you. PAKISTAN ZINDABAD!!!!

[saha001]

all the men who are first watching this video and then saying how "unislamic" and "unconservative" all this is, should be ashamed. if you were that good urself u wouldnt be watching this video and commenting! this is one good thing happening in d country and u guys r still all abt negatvity, show sum positivty for once as well!

[Samkhan78]

cynicguru , u guys are a shame on the face of earth. Let alone shame , u dont get ashamed of drinking cows pee and rotten mouse feed in ur worship places. Pakistani is the fifth largest country of world populaton wise. In the cycle of nature , we r rising and u r declining , what a shamee.

[Samkhan78]

Pakistan fashion week was not the one of its kind. Though fashion industry is in juvenile stage still alot of fashion bonanza is going around , even probably more than india. There are two local pakistani channels that run totally local material. So the world need not be surprised and CNN doesnt need to be nostalgic at all. And all those who think it being unislamic shall stay away at all from youtube and must sit in madressas and do the acts those are being watched by all of us now a days.

[noorijanze]

a country fighing " itself "

So, irresponsible . Don't they know we are fighting Taliban not Pakistanis . Pakistanis are not conservative but they are moderates . dress properly does not mean Conservative .

Depak Parwani is Very SMart ..

[cynicguru0]

what a shame... no wonder this lil country is the worlds cancer...

[HusbandnWifeDuo]

very nice coverage - loved it.

[intergalacticpeace]

To all the moral preachers watching this video, you commited a huge sin by clicking on and watching this stuff. You all are hypocrites and will go to hell as per your own views and teachings.

Let the rest of us enjoy this awesome take on high-end Pakistani culture. Go FPW!

[jusi82]

I guess it was a great start and people should live the way they wish to live ? and I hate these fuckin possive conservative fuckin freaks , we are from karachi and wana live like rest of world

[Scarfaced111]

Interesting, Pakistan rocks! Tell those Taliban to go back to Afghanistan where they came from!

[prabhumast]

@Scarfaced111

no we should kill them and the Americans and Nata should kill the afghan taliban !

taliban pigs deserve it!

[irrahman1]

@Scarfaced111 dont worry, my brother is a pakistani fighting taliban alongside the U.S and im gonna join too

[Scarfaced111]

@irrahman1 Mashallah :D Will you join US Military or Pak Military?

Either way, I wish you best of luck.

[irrahman1]

[princesspearlskmk]

u need guidance the most..if u care so much about all that why r u even watching this video..you are watching it urself and telling other people its not right to do so??r u mad??

[tazuf]

Someone deport this deepak to the land of slumdogs, its a reason this shit happens in Karachi because up North everyone would tell the Indian to f off out of our Pak zameen. Its a shame a person from another country has to comment on our comments section and tell you lot the truth. I agree with modernisation but on a technological and education pathway not one which embrasses this westernized idea of so called modernization ' nudity' and the destruction of social n community lifestyles.

[tazuf]

Shame on Pakistani here for critising an Afghan person who actually speak sense although i dislike Afghans i have to agree with what shes says over some beigharats in the comments section. Kussyhaha just stfu i come from the North of Pakistani and no-one shows even the remotest part of the body. We are an Islamic state with islamic principles this westernized culture has no place in Pakistan. On a second note wtf is this Deepak muppet in the country damn fugly indian trying to brainwash our ppl.

[kussyhaha]

@tazuf im from the north 2 dude...kohat and quetta mixed with karachi mother

[kussyhaha]

hes from karachi, a hindu pakistani and they exist alot and are considered pakistanis. hence jinnah called pakistan an islamic state with secular principles. and yea i agree with you about the whole nudity issue but at the same time i believe i hav no right to degrade them for their principles. god is watchin them

[TheStarpaw]

Islamic principles which is approved not by GOd but by the men of pakistan...huh

[taimuri01]

Also, We need to give our young people a chance to do activities like this. I think it was great fashion week . And i hope more and more Pakistani come out of the box. These kind of shows not only open the opportunities for you in the world but also give our youths something to do instead of watching news channels and all the killings going. There should more shows and activities. Great Work and keep it going!

[kussyhaha]

ALLAH JUDGES ME, NOT YOU MULLAHS OR KARIS.

If you are sinless then say it against me but guess what?! the last sinless person was prohet muhammed (pbuh) and he was the seal. after him no SINLESS person will ever walk this earth again.

ALLAH ONLY JUDGES ME AND ALLAH I FEAR, if you wear a mini skirt or even burqa i have no right to criticize you...because im not god.

[kussyhaha]

India = Maoists rebels in half of her districts, 37.5% poverty rate (google news it), highest malnutrition rate in the world, fair and lovely as major export, and low life expectancy (lowest in south asia).

[a4mohit]

Pakistan = Taliban + other terrorists + Bombs

[BABURAOIU]

fuck you Rizwan Baig "Chakkay"

[4EverPakistani]

Its important people see this. Come on people, we dont want the world to think Pakistan is like Afghanistan.

[afgleila]

pakistan is 60 yrs old IT CAN NEVER be like afghanistan fer sure...our history and traditions are WAYYY valuable than ur ENGLISH system

[bil12345]

We shouldnt care about what people think of us. We should care about what Allah thinks of us. System in Afghanistan is bad and so it this western system. The true pakistani culture is suppose to be moderate Islam not like afghanistan and not taken from west

[afgleila]

LMAO.... open ur eyes and look at the video ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ idiot get out of the Box and see what these ppl in this videro say ...^^ this is the western style that you guys have adopted ..I DONT SEE afghanistan in this video..SO stop hating urself plz

[bil12345]

u misunderstood me i replied to 4everPakistani who said we dont want to look like afghanistan. I meant to say that we dnt want to look like the afghans they show on tv nor do we want our women to look like western sluts. We shoud be moderate!!!

[GabbruPunjabi]

afgleila....im with u..totally....actually most of pak culture has nothing to do with this bullshit which is being done by few bunch of retards who think tht if they make their legs n brests nakid then the west will think tht they are really great ppl..but they hav forgotten tht greatness exists in knowlege n innovation n good deeds not is nakid legs...shame on such ppl when the nation is in war n they are doing this bullshit..they r actually products of black money..thts it

[afgleila]

O im sorry i forgot the fact that you guys are uneducated and cant speak english :X my bad

[memhun]

what is the point of religion when u live in fear of getting blown up....why are not muslims ashamed of those things. suicide bombing and uneducated ppl ...that is shameful

[kussyhaha]

we are ashamed of these things....maybe cnn doesnt report such things but there are protests and pro peace rallies.

Also dont blame us muslims for these bombs. western bombs have killed over 300,000 iraqis, 150,000 afghans post 9/11 ...compare that to 3,000 in 9/11. Also maybe you should read more into politics and read about intelligence agencies. CNN, BBC, Fox News or any news network dont report everything right. look at them from different angles.

[kussyhaha]

Now I dont support suicide bombs, i despise terrorists but to label them "muslims" is very degrading. Did you know just in Pakistan how many mosques, sufi shrines, or muslim leaders have been killed? hundreds. im sure 100 percent sure no muslim would do this in his real mind. Just because their name or nationality is afghan or pak it doesnt mean they are muslims.

Its like me calling BUSH or HITLER christian extremists

[kussyhaha]

I love it when us Pakis criticize everything from europe or europeans lol or anything deemed western.

Do you know why islamic empiries were in power initially? because unlike christianity or judaism, allah says "i created different tribes so you may LEARN from each other." he doesnt simply say "live together" but "learn and live together."

To those who say WE ARE IMPORTING EUROPEAN IDEALS...so guess lets stop watchin tv, drivin cars, playing guitars, and use western medications n tools

[ajzden]

Brendin, first of all...these ignorant cunts have it twisted...they assume "imperialism" as being bold...by following some white-mans ideology; they think that they are illustrating "boldness"...well screw them...because no matter how hard they try; when the same western people look at these things..to them its a bunch of monkeys trying to copy their shit.

therefore instead of embracing this false notion...Pakistanis should focus and return to their true roots and culture.

ez.

[kussyhaha]

wow mashallah se, what a good muslim? calling people "cunts" and then say "white man's ideology" (denoting racism, something prophet muhammed (pbuh) denounces as he was a white holy man and didnt want a difference between african slaves in white arabia).

And do you know pakistan's roots and culture?

Did you know how islam came to US?

Through sufi music (all major cities in pk have one sufi saint).

Do you know our traditional clothes?

its not abaya or hijab but traditional colorful clothes

[afgleila]

kussy...

First of all DO not call me sweety....and second of all I DONT give a fuk about what you think... WE all have different opinions ....If i think that pakii fashion industry is stupid , thats BECAUSE IT IS..

[aftabahsan]

I JUST happenn to come across this video and just to get a feel of the comment..and huey!here u go again....mann can u nt stop expressin ur hate fer pakistani ppl ever..no matter how nice pakistani ppl can be with u

[awais13us]

gr8 answers kussyhaha

[AwesomeMasuud]

p.s. Before pointing your immature headed thought on someone, have a glance in your 'gareban', you'll feel ashamed of your confused identity of being a ABCD or a BBCD. Chill out mate and give a bit of sense to your DUDENESS!

[kussyhaha]

no im not ashamed but im saying honestly to you what is being a truly islamic country?

afghanistan? turkey?saudi arabia? malaysia? the most prosperous are turkey and malaysia and they havfashion weeks and more nudity and shit than in pakistan. our girls will never a short skirt cause we know where we come from. fashion is fashion, calm down.

[kussyhaha]

By the way, a real question: what is an islamic state to you and whats your ideals for pakistan?

And if you say simply follow islamic ideals then would you suggest us pakis watchin bollywood movies and going gaga over their nudity or hollywood/

i hate bollywood but mostly, my pathan family tends to criticze everything naked or whatever but would watch bollywood movies over again and dress in ways like the,

[kussyhaha]

and also bro, you have the right to have an opinion and i respect it. no hate feeling for that. there are americans who say fashion shouldnt exist for it glorifies a woman's body and her subordinity. and you know what i respect that too. But i will say lets not fight like cats and dogs and think one minded. If you want to change this, do something, start a group but dont d curse them our or demean their masculinity or call them "kafir" allah can judge me and no one else can. allahhafeez

[afgleila]

Who said i called them kafirs? ..wtf is up with u? READ carefully and then front ...low life

[AwesomeMasuud]

As goes your modernizing concept, give urself a break of realization on ground realities. Pakistan is an islamic state. A woman cannot walk semi-naked even in the posh corridors of Zamzama & Bath Island, come what may. This fakism is only limited to the ramps, not even on the mainstream media. A fact since the 'legalized' 70s to this enlightened moderated decade, & it will remain, say whatever you want!

So open ur head & forget anything of this sort being implemented by a COMMON Pakistan woman!

[afgleila]

Dude , why are u wasting time on these girls?? They will never understand...they like to stay in their little boxes OR better yet , they will Just follow oTher's foot steps =( i pity them ....

[kussyhaha]

yea i pity you closed minded people too.

[kussyhaha]

Funny thing is everyone bashing pakistani fashion week are ALL or usually MOST foreign pakistanis living somewhere else.

lol They are like the BRIT PAKIS, who still believe pakistan is stuck in stoneages like their ideals when their parents left for uK.

good job pakistan

keep it up

[afgleila]

LMAO...........WAY to copy indian fashion hahahha morons

[kussyhaha]

and sweety, what exactly is indian fashion? Shalwar kameez is c.asian concept brought by mughals. and btw three designers a month before this stunned milan fashion week and showed styles of baloch culture n chitralis and other pathan/sindhi tribes.

and you are afghan right? Yea, of course ur gonna hate.

[afgleila]

Yes I'm afghan and I'm proud BUt what the Fuck has my nationality gotta do with my comment? ....YOu fukin idiots will never grow up... If you see shalwar kameez in this fuking video then my freind you are blind AND.....afghans dont have enough time to hate on ugly ppl like u

[kussyhaha]

okay, well then firstly i dont even know why a bitch like you would come the fuck here n say we copyin hindu fashion.you dumb bitch, salwar kameez and all this crap is c.asian mughal fashion.

we know afghan fashion is chador or that shitty tent over your head, something your fam still wears in kabul--wait, nuh realli they are in pako iran probably lol.

[samsungcansing]

guyz i m not with these fashions shows coz i still think its copying what europeons do n try to look like them...but remember v mite not agree with lot of thngs but that doesnt mean v have to hate others r kill them....different thinkings cn survive in a siciety together with tolerance n thats how it shud b

[kussyhaha]

Okay then europeans also contributed alot in terms of art, technology, and other useful significant items--so i guess we should honestly become an afghanistan and just go be in stone ages.

FASHION PROMOTES TOLERANCE.

Indirectly, it allows people to come together and express ideas and culture grows.

[intergalacticpeace]

music and television will not get you anywhere.

fashion and cinema will. wake up and smell the coffee. the world today is all about marketing and pakistanis are NOWHERE as far as that is concerned. this is a good attempt to counter all the negativity. more fashion and cinema please, and less of bombs and taliban.

[AwesomeMasuud]

Want to show the soothing, peaceful end of Pakistan?

Do it in other ways! Music, Festivals etc! Par to cover your wanna bee and hogwash lifestyle with a faked projection of non-existent culture, is like stripped down naked and forced to run on a busy street naked!

Time to grow some roots of maturity and apathy, dumb arses!

[kussyhaha]

dude ur living in UK and i doubt you know what real pakistan is. you prob date white girls there o do god knows what but when it comes to pakistan or paki girls u suddenly flip out.

hypocrites?

this promotes pakistani culture and shows people we arent terrorists. This is no longer the pak when your parents left. I was born here in ny but go to karachi and trust me its modernizing alotttt.

Lets make a pakistan where a hijab and fashion can coexist. "hate the sin, not the sinner"

[AwesomeMasuud]

NY freak, I'm a Pakistani who's lived 21 years in Karachi and Lahore and been in UK for 2 years only, and even in these 2 years, I've frequently visited my country. Hope this should be enough to open your thick skull that I'm not one of your types, the ABCDs or the BBCDs.

[afgleila]

YEs ppl why can't you trust this little whoree... Pakistan is becoming modernized and thats exactly what these little sluts with names such as her's ( kussy= sult) want.

[kussyhaha]

im a guy, not a girl

i wrote kussy cause my afghan friend told me an afghan curse n i couldnt stop krackin me up..you know kussmader?

[AwesomeMasuud]

Doing this to promote the softer image of Pakistan? To hell with it, kiss my ass!

Do Fashion weeks, I don't object!

Par to do it in such a critical period through which the country and its common masses are going through, and to justify it as a promotional tool for the peaceful side of Pakistan? Well, to the sane, it'll come as nothing par n immature display by a section of lunatic clown arses (well, most of them!)

[azerty94P]

@AwesomeMasuud I THING YOU SHOULD RATHER CRY ON YOUR POLITICIANS ....BECAUSE THESE PEOPLES ARE DOING A GOOD JOB

[AwesomeMasuud]

THIS, you call 'good job'? PMSL! You should refine your mind and revise your vocab and meanings mate. Pakistan doesn't and won't get anywhere with such immature and illogical 'good jobs'!

As for politicians, we've been doing that for past 62 years and yet the country's still there! Par in past in phases such as current, people haven't gone for such stupid events to portray Pakistan to the world!

[docmandxb]

aaj i duniya main pehlay waqat main bhot faraq hai hum ko aaj ki duniye kay sath chalna parday ga iss liye mere bhai main too bholta hoon theek hai jo hai her kisi nay apna hisaab dena hai so jo jiss ko passend hai karay

[intergalacticpeace]

I can totally certify that this IS high end Pakistani "culture" which will not be understood by 90% of the Pakistani population which happens to be from the villages lol...and to the guy below please stop being so possesive about your "culture"...the folks in this fashion show are just as Pakistani as you and have a right to express their take on haute couture in a way that can get Pakistan places.

[theblacknred]

yay u r rite shalwar kameez ko pata nei kia bna dia

[weshaikh]

I am a pakistani , and alhamdulilALLAH i certify that this culture is not pakistani culture , it's pakistaini rich people's ( not elite ) culture which needs to fixed.

[myusernameisusername]

Aur jis zubaan main bol rahay ho woh kis ke culture ka hissa hai?

If you can't do something positive for the country then STFU and let others do it, at least.

[azerty94P]

@myusernameisusername PEASE TRY TO OPEN YOUR MINDS GUYS HE'S SPEAKING IN ENGLISH BECAUSE THIS REPORT IS FROM CNN....AND ALLHAMDULILAH I'M PAKISTANI .....THIS IS SO HYPO TO HIDE BEHIND ISLAM ...PLZ BE PAKISTANI OR MUSLIM ....
