innate
love for rural craft makes her want to take women on a journey
into the glorious folklore of Pakistan. There are diverse
traditions to glean, from the intricate beadwork of the high
and mighty Hindukush mountain range to the indigenous methods
of patchwork adapted by colorful nomads of the sandy Cholistan
desert. A desire to see these crafts pass from generation to
generation has her passionately reviving them as contemporary
fashion.
Culling
every desirable tradition for fashion are women of the South
Asian region, handcrafting what their ancestors have passed
down to them. FnkAsia is empowering these women by weaving
them into the brand. And they are developing heirlooms of
craftsmanship, reviving ancient Mughal, Kashmiri, Persian and
even Afghan influences. South Asia is the melting pot of
centuries of lost civilizations going as far back as the
Mesopotamians who developed the Indus Valley belt, to
Alexander the Great who passed through the North and left a
hybrid of Euro-Asian characteristics. Each chapter of the
South Asian history is stitched into the warp and weave of
FnkAsia, reincarnated in the form of modern fashion.
FnkAsia
translates these crafts into the hip and trendy wardrobes of
modern women, women looking to be global citizens without
having to compromise on their identity. FnkAsia has fast grown
as a statement label, carrying the exuberance of culture into
the razzle dazzle of red carpet glamour. It is one of the
largest growing fashion brands of the region, a wardrobe
staple for thousands of young women in search for a trendy
lifestyle.
