We moved our Karachi Flagship store to a brand new location in Clifton in January 2019 and now, in February 2019, being the first Pakistani Fashion Design House to showcase at the prestigious NYFW, we are humbled and grateful to be a part of the CAAFD NYFW sponsored program. It was a wonderful experience showcasing at CAAFD NYFW 2018 and we are excited to be representing our country again at NYFW F/W 2019.” said Sania Maskatiya on being part of the NYFW F/W 2019 platform.
