Etihad
Airways has teamed up with Fashion Pakistan to present “Pakistan’s Most
Inspiring Designer” award to Zaheer Abbas. Zaheer wowed fashion aficionados at
the recent Fashion Pakistan Week, held in Karachi.
Zaheer, who was also named as the “Best Emerging Talent
in Fashion” at the prestigious Lux Style Awards, was chosen in an
online poll posted
on the Etihad Airways’ Facebook page and the votes received from the members of
the Fashion Pakistan Council.
One
lucky Etihad Airways Facebook fan, Kamran Hashim, also won 15,000 Etihad Guest
Miles by taking part in the poll.
Zaheer
is best known for his love for light fabrics such as chiffon, airy silhouettes
and attention to detail. His designs are available in various stores in
Karachi, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and London.
Etihad
Airways’ Area General Manager for Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal, Amer Khan,
said: “I would like to congratulate Zaheer on winning this award. It has been a
long standing policy at Etihad Airways to encourage fashion, arts and culture
worldwide. We are proud to lend our support to Pakistan’s burgeoning fashion
industry and to be associated with Fashion Pakistan Week for the second year in
a row.”
The
Fashion Pakistan Week is organised by the Fashion Pakistan Council to
promote and support the fashion industry in the country and promote traditional
Pakistani crafts and fashion.
Fashion Pakistan Council’s Chairperson, Shamaeel
Ansari, said: “I am proud to be part of the Fashion Pakistan Week for its
pivotal role in educating, empowering and encouraging designers and promoting
traditional crafts. I wish to express my gratitude to Etihad Airways for its
continual commitment and support to different segments of the Pakistani society
