I take pride in the fact that wonderful things are happening in Pakistan and what I had always visioned is being fulfilled today. One such field that is gaining impetus in our society is the fashion industry, and that is why I encourage fashion and its intricate thread work and designing through our fashion shows to open a window to the world. We have also given a platform to new designers to present their clothes, an opportunity that was otherwise not available to them. As the shows are seen globally their work, along with the established designers, gets known abroad. The aim of introducing new things at HUM Network carries foremost the purpose to give a positive image. With time our purpose is being fortified as the world is acknowledging the upcoming designers who are making a mark in the fashion world. This platform is getting respect internationally day by day.
At Hum TV we have always kept in mind that our country should be known for presenting art in a positive way. Our dramas are shown on Netflix and we are now making films which will also help in boosting the clothing industry and jewellery worn by the artists, abroad, thus uplifting the soft image of the country from our platform.
All in all QMobile Bridal Couture Week 2017 Styled by Sweet Touch was a grand endeavour and like always was able to set a trend when it comes to promoting Local Fashion.
