Looking back at Amina Shafaat and Zara Shaikh

Pakistani fashion models are here, there and everywhere these days. The Pakistani fashion industry has come a long way and so has the Pakistani models.

The glamour and the boldness that we commonly see today was very rare back in the day. So why not visit the past a bit and see the era where it all began and get that nostalgic feeling that we all love so much.

The following is a snap shot feature from the Pakistani fashion mini channel Style Duniya, that later on became Style 360 and then finally merged into the crap that we know as Hum Sitary these days;Yeah, I miss the gold old days!

This feature presents Pakistani fashion designer Khawar Riaz's old collection with Amir Chisty behind the camera, with the two sensational Pakistani models of their time, Amna Shafaat and Zara Sheikh in front of it.
I have used the song Every other time by LFO, a hit from the 90s in the background, just to add a little bit more of that nostalgia :-)
There isn't much of any revealing in this shoot, but it still looks hot and the two models look beautiful.

Enjoy!

Pakistani Models: Laila

One of those fashion video shoot that features a model, who is actually an actress of the almost disintegrated lolly-wood (Pakistani) film industry.
Not that this is her first time modelling, she has been an on and off fashion model as she as been a film actress.
Laila is not that a popular actress like Meera, Reema, Resham, etc. and has always appeared as a side heroine or in a supporting role, with typical badly choreographed seductive Lolly-wood film songs.
This particular fashion shoot however, speaks a bit differently about her. She looks pretty attractive and close to sexy. Laila is not your typical skinny fashion model. Being a Lolly-wood actress, she is in the league of those "Healthy" Punjabi movies' girls. But in spite of that, she looks very attractive, and the exotic location like the beach, has given this shoot a lot of additional points.
The video aired on Snap-Shot program of Pakistani Fashion Channel Style 360, featuring Laila with Dresses and Makeup by Angie Marshall, photography by Shehbaz and direction by Jamal Khan.

Enjoy the video!

Pakistani Models: Natty

It has been a while since the last post, but better late than never....right!

And who better for a comeback than the GOLD that is not at all OLD, Pakistani Model Natasha Hussain a.k.a Natty.
This fun, exciting party gal, has been in the Pakistani fashion business for a long time and as far as I can remember! But the age has not stopped her beauty and fitness at all.
She still maintains the figure that the new Pakistani models are striving to achieve.


This particular shoot features here wearing a western line up by Umar Mushtaq with a Pakistani male model Muzamil. The photography is done by Amir Chisti and the makeup by Moon of the Depilex.
The shoot aired on "Snap Shot" of 24 hours Pakistani Fashion TV Channel "Style 360".

Enjoy!

Pakistani Models: Sara Gilani

Do you remember this shoot? Furthermore, do you remember the female model from this shoot?
Yes! this is the one and the only Sara Gilani.
Sara Gilani belonged to an era of the Pakistani Fashion Modeling, when it was emerging from the ashes. Although Pakistani Models like Vaneeza Ahmed, Amniah Haq, Iman Ali, ZQ and of course Iraj Manzoor were already there, but this particular period saw the emerging of many fresh faces and this emergence has not stopped yet, in contrast to the previous ones.
Sara Gilani has been out of the modelling scene for quite some time now, also has gain a bit of weight, but she is still in the fashion/media biz. I guess she has stepped into some executive class now ;-)
Well I would not bore anyone with the history lesson anymore, and will come straight to business :-)
It would not be wrong to say that almost everyone who has been following DailyTimes Sunday Magazine, must have had remembered this particular photo shoot. The shoot features Pakistani Model Sara Gilani and Nomi Qamar and was for a Valentines Day Special Issue, some years back. The attire was provided by Mehdi while the photography was done by Shahzad Raza.
The poses here are pretty bold (or romantic as some might say).
When I first saw these, like many others, wished I could see the video for this shoot.
Many thanks to "Style 360", the 24 hours Pakistani Fashion Channel, finally got it! :-)

So without further ado, let check out the video!

Enjoy!

Pakistani Models: Rabia Ahmed

Pakistani Model Rabia Ahmed is back yet again with another photo shoot. The girl who many and many claim looks like a man :D, is back with more style on Style 360.
As far as her being looking like a man, I will not comment on that :)...I still think that she resembles Cassidy Freeman (just a slight bit) or may be Veena Malik :), nonetheless she looks very good and stylish in this photo shoot, and she still is one of the pretty good fashion models in the Pakistani fashion scene. I would have her model any day rather than Begum Nawazish Ali :D!

Anyways, as stated that she is back...(3 times now :) )...does not necessarily mean that this is a brand new photo shoot. In fact this shoot is older than the last one I had posted. But I have seen it for the first time and I am sure that many of you would too.
The photo shoot, as usual, aired on Pakistani Fashion Channel Style 360 on "Snapshot".
The makeup was done by Hina, Photography by Mani, and the modeling by Rabia Ahmed of course, posing for a western line.

Enjoy!

Pakistani Models: Ayyan

There is a new set of steamed legs in town and the beauty who walks on them is the freshest addition in the Pakistani fashion modeling scene known as Ayyan!

Her syle, dare, beauty and the one rare feature that many of the Pakistani models lack, i.e. a good height makes her a real deal!

Ayyan is one of those who came, people saw, and she conqured the hearts!

She is at the moment, the most appearing Pakistani model on magazines, photo shoots and ramps.

The following is one of her very popular photo shoots that aired on Style 360. The shoot was for "Hanif Jewler" with a display of very exotic jewellry along with even more exotic Ayyan, captured on the camera by the photographer Fazal Abbas; along with some lovely and attractive makeup by KR. Crew and finally the shoot cordinated by Fatima.

Ayyan looks absolutely breathtaking with dresses of various colors made more brilliant by some lovely jewellry.

Enjoy!

Pakistani Models: Maria Wasti

The title of this post may seem a bit odd, stating Maria Wasti as a Pakistani model. Although she is one of the most talented and leading Pakistani actresses and may present a very intuitive sense of style and fashion most of the times, she has not been a significant part of the fashion modeling scene.
But this particular and one of the rare video photo shoot will make a strong point that she can be as good as any current Pakistani fashion models!
She poses here for a western line of designs by Sanam Agha (quite a hottie herself).
The shoot is photographed by Munna Mushtaq, a very famous and successful photographer and also the brother of Pakistani model Gia Ali.
This shoot aired on program Snapshot of channel Style 360.

Enjoy!
