Shaan-e-Pakistan is not just a platform; it is a campaign and movement to drive the culture and celebrate Pakistan by amalgamating through fashion, music and art not just in Pakistan but on the International stage as well.

The director / producer of Shaan-e-Pakistan, Huma Nassr states “I constantly aim to innovate and introduce out-of-the-box ideas to help propel the show to success. I built Shaan-e-Pakistan to form collaboration and showcase the talent of Pakistan with at an International destination. I advocate love & peace through a mutual love of art. This show is also about depicting a positive image of Pakistan. When our international guests come to Pakistan, we do our best to show them that we are Shaan of Pakistan! I am thankful for the support we have received in past for this movement and campaign especially from our brand partners such as EBM, UniLever, Careem, Haier and we look forward to further association and collaborations to celebrate this campaign: Shaan e Pakistan.
Shaan-e-Pakistan presents SEPHUB- A collaborative platform for Fashion // Art & Music
Back in 2016, the concept of Kya Dilli Kya Lahore was introduced. The idea was to collaborate with International talent to showcase culture, hospitality and celebration and that spirit is present in this edition as well. This year they have collaborated with Dubai based Pritti Nanda; organizer of Sopritti and a credible name in the Fashion Industry Internationally to present SEPHUBxSOPRITTI
The designers in question are Power duo- Rimple & Harpreet.

Shaan-e-Pakistan is acclaimed for its music content ‘Ek Shaam Pakistan kay Naam” and like previous seasons with Late Amjad Sabri opening in the first year in New Delhi and Rekha Bhardwaj and Syed Asrar opening in Lahore; this year it will be held on the 2nd May .There are, however, some new additions in the content that have been introduced into the show structure. It will be a 16 Minutes collaborative Music // Fashion and Art display with Design to feature some of the top models of Pakistan curated through art while walking down the ramp. Huma and Aamir Adnan will be showcasing in their segment called Yeh hai Shaan-e-Pakistan for which the song is done by Javed Bashir.
SEPHUBxSOPRITTI will be following this up and scaling it further with Tarun Tahilliani in September with a similar collaboration of Fashion//Music //Art and ensure the campaign of Shaan-e-Pakistan keeps moving.
Huma Nassr asserts that “Shaan-e-Pakistan is the only platform that mobilizes and materializes through its network. We produce and develop our own content to be a “Digital First Content”; we do not have any exclusivity agreements with any channels, as I believe, that opposes the importance for us to be present on all channels. I am grateful for the consistent support and trust that I have received from the channels and I hope this continues into the future as well so that we help spread the Shaan of Pakistan to more and more people”
