Fashion Pakistan Week

Pakistan Fashion Week (PFW) is a fashion event annually held in Karachi, Pakistan. The event is organised by the Fashion Pakistan Council (FPC) an organisation based in Karachi. The FPW was first launched in 2009 in Marriott Hotels, Karachi.

The fashion industry in Pakistan had remained shy for cultural reasons. The intent of the event is to show a different Pakistan than the one stained by violent religious and political conflicts,[1] even though the domestic glittering fashion industry highly contrasts with the religious dressing code that is de rigueur in any public space.[2]

The first edition was organized in 2009, and was delayed twice for security issues.[3]
