FA S H I O N T R E N D S Sania’s prêt features original prints and luxe details. 9. Satrangi by Bonanza Satrangi has been making waves with one of this year’s most attractive campaigns, the Sweet Escape cam- cotton range is worth a closer look. With intricate embroidery on pure cotton lawn or chikan fabric, Threads & Motifs is a formal, feminine alternative to print-laden paign. It’s not just the campaign though – the collection is vibrant and different. Striking and summery with folk overtones, it’s very different from designer lawn. Bonanza, like Generation and Khaadi, has the added advantage of great fitting. Definitely worth a closer look 10. Threads and Motifs Threads and Motifs was initially a game-changer of embroidered fabric. Although there are now many alternatives, they continue to turn out quality designs and their designer lawn. They sell both fabric and custom-stitched shirts, which is an added advantage. Apart from these, high street giants Gul Ahmed, Al Karam and Nishat all do excellent prêt ranges. Designers like Ayesha Farook Hashwani and Nida Azwer also have interesting cotton formal-wear. There are plenty of options if you want to stand out from the lawn-wearing crowd. 34 | BOOM
