Hi all,
If you remember my previous
post on dressing for work in Pak, I had mentioned that a huge challenge I face is how to dress for work here. Of course, I am lucky considering the environment I work in is not so conservative, however it would still be a little OTT dressing in power suits as I would like. That being said, I was so pleased when I saw
Adnan Pardesy for
The Working Woman's collection. These
are the
Pakistani 'Power Suits'! You can see a lot of
Adnan Pardesy's signature styles in this collection. Not only that - but what a highly creative campaign! If you know me, you know I'm always on the look out for innovative and fun fashion campaigns and this one truly stands out. From the brilliant composition of the photography - to the typography - to the design of the layout - everything is a hit and some more. They've used a celebrity hook, but not the regular Mahira Khan type, rather Zoe Viccaji, a musician - as the face of their collection. You can tell a lot of thought has been put into this campaign. Love how the pages are laid out in a magazine editorial style for "The Careerist".
The collection is stylish, fun, and perfect for a conservative environment as well. It even has the edge to be personalised - as can be seen on Zoe. So, you can definitely add your own style to the look with printed leggings, different coloured pants, fun accessories and so on.
Below are some of the campaign pictures:
The fun editorial type magazine layout!
