Designers from India and Pakistan will showcase their creativities in fashion, textile, jewellery, accessories etc. at a joint three-day exhibition, ‘Shaan-e-Pakistan’ to be held in New Delhi on September 10 where over 150 exhibitors from both the countries will participate.
The event will help improve the relation between both countries as food and fashion are two major aspects to get the countries together. There are a lot of similarities between them and these kinds of initiative can open doors between the people of the two neighbours, Huma Nassr, a retailer said.
The event will prove to be a good opportunity for artisans and women weavers to get the exposure they deserve.
The event will not only offer a unique opportunity to Indian fashionistas to interact with their Pakistani counterparts but also offers a first-hand opportunity for customers to feel and own the best quality products India and Pakistan has to offer, according to organiser sources.
The event, expected to bring a huge delegation from Pakistan, is part of the larger aim of its associates – Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO), Karachi Chamber of Commerce and High Commission of Pakistan – to further build on the efforts of the governments of Pakistan and India to normalize trade relations between the two countries.
