Erum Sheikh, the driving force behind the store, says, ?1 have been associated with the fashion industry in one way or the other since the last few years. I wanted to introduce a platform to new, upcoming designers who are eager to showcase their designs without compromising on quality and want to sell within a reasonable price range.?
According to her, they only showcase a certain number of designers which is a mix of famous names as well as new ones. Her USP is ?All under one roof ? from pret to semi-formal and for-mals to bridals?.
?Our designers are asked to update the collections on a monthly or bi-monthly basis ? it depends on how well their clothes sell. As a multi-brand outlet, our focus is on being price-effective and providing clientele with what they want: be it casual kurtis, semi-formal or bridal wear. I want our closet to be full of different designs and colorus.?
The Bridals off the Rack launch held recently saw fashionistas, the creme de la creme of society, celebrities and notable personalities from both the print and electronic media in full attendance. The highlight of the event was a fashion presentation by nine top models given a blend of classic and contemporary look by stylist Nighat Misbah with choreography by Moiz Kazmi and Take II handling PR and media.
