High fashion is a global with its presence. It is both an industry and a state of mind. Even with that understanding, it was surprising to find that there are fashion-week extravaganzas in so many places around the world. 

Pakistan held its first Fashion Week in November 2009, and has since flourished into a respected bi-annual international event. The Pakistan Fashion Design Council has held five Fashion Weeks with the global brand Unilever as well as two bridal weeks with L’Oreal Paris that have provided platforms for Pakistani designers to promote their culture’s fashion in both local and international markets.
