One of the most delightful ironies of fashion is that a global wardrobe staple, the current favourite tunic-trouser combo, is derived from the East. From the Indian subcontinent to be precise. And instead of India — with its immense textile and cultural history — it is Pakistan who's trending this trend most vociferously.The Pakistani 'suit', as it is affectionately called in north India, is essentially a salwar kameez that's derived from our neighbouring country. It has long fascinated the Indian woman for only one reason: it is rather fashionable. While Indian salwar kameezes are soaked in history and heritage (alternately in an overdose of Swarovski shimmers), the Pakistani cousin is high on innovation and also seasonal cycles.My first hour in Lahore is spent at a ladies' lunch at a swishy mall in Gulberg where the Pakistan Fashion Design Council (PFDC) had opened its mint-new multi-designer boutique. Nusrat Jamil, a 66-year-old beauty and cultural czarina, takes me around for a look-see. Like every other Indian woman, the Pakistani salwar kameez held mystery, mystique and allure for me. Enough to make me want to decipher the real McCoy.How is it different from an Indian salwar, I ask Jamil. "It's cut differently," she replies, showing me half a dozen "different" cuts all from one designer. Perhaps, it's the lack of a varied wardrobe choice that demands constant innovation. Indians have several types of a national dress, each state comes with its own history and then there are assorted sari drapes. Pakistan only has the salwar kameez, it's their uniform for men and women. Pakistanis are constantly updating their salwar-kameez, modernising it, glamourising it, deconstructing it and reconstructing it and finally turning it into something for a world traveller."The tunic or the kaftan (long tunic) is a cross-country fashion perennial," says Hilary Alexander, former fashion director of UK's The Daily Telegraph. "It could be from India, Pakistan, the Middle East, Morocco, it doesn't matter. If everyone doesn't have one, everyone wants one." Alexander is here as a guest of Sehyr Saigol, the publisher of the popular fashion magazine Libas, and the promoter of the PFDC Sunsilk Fashion Week. Alexander has been here before and has noted a sea-change in just two years. For the first time, the Karachi designers' clique is here, overriding the great fashion divide that afflicts the country. Also, it's the first time a New Talent show has been created where the focus is on digital prints, the au courant luxury prêt that aims to drive the business.
