Stars Storm Karachi Runway as Bridal Season Opens

Karachi, 5 August 2026

Karachi's runway is back in business. The Style Runway Fashion Show, part of Pakistan Season 18, lit up the city with bridal couture and party-wear collections, The Express Tribune reports.

The star wattage did the heavy lifting: Mathira, Sunita Marshall, Hiba Ali Khan, Nimra Shahid and, the night's talking point, veteran actress Sahiba Afzal returning to the ramp after a long absence, telling press such shows are "a positive and healthy form of entertainment" and a launchpad for emerging designers.

Why it matters beyond the glitter: the show fires the starting gun on wedding-season buying. Our catalogue already lists 2,300+ formal and wedding pieces in stock, and bridal-adjacent searches climb from mid-August straight through December. If the runway sets the mood board, the price tags are on the wedding board.
