Pakistani Bridal's getting better !!

I've gotta say, smart way to get more hits on your blogpost. Really nothing incites more backlash than stating someone is "getting better at" something. Lovely act of condescension there both showing said target was both not that great at Bridalwear to begin with but you have now oh so kindly deigned to admit they are "getting better" at it. A title like "An Example of some Beautiful Pakistani Bridalwear" wouldn't have served the purpose of igniting such a ridiculous string of arguments so really why go with less provoking titles?

One word... Wow

to the kuwait person, north america has restriction on arabs due to terrrorism, so keep your superiority to yourself

Not trying to say one is better than the other. negativity is ozing from everything you've said love. What a joke you are. Most of these pictures show work from Bunto Kazmi so they look the same. If you were less ignorant and knew more about Pakistani fashion you would know know better. Yards or fabric or not, Pakistani outfits are way more elegant and regal than the tacky MM, Bahrvi Jaikishan, Suneet Verma, Shantanu and Nikhil, Anita Rubbish one finds in the main stream Indian fashion scene. Abu Jani is the only one whos designs are just phenomenal.

@londoncalling - YOU ARE SO CONTRADICTORY! Don't be afraid of your own race to say out loud how much you loved these Pakistanis bridal clothes and their original awesome sense of fashion! PAKIS ARE BETTER AT THIS!

Firstly I am not an Indian. Secondly I am not a Pakistani.

You say: "I am not trying to say one is better than the other" - but clearly you are being extremely bias by somewhat 'demeaning' Pakistani fashion with your comments. The two cannot be compared whatsoever. Indian bridals are definitely, as you said, more bling, work is very thick/big - quite tacky in most cases and the more flesh on view the better (apparently). The Pakistani bridals are much more elegant and the work is very intricate and the detailing always immaculate (especially the top designers) as well as the long, lean silhouette- so I feel they are sort of polar opposites. Yes it's true Indians cater to the International market whilst Pakistani's have stuck to their roots. The difference is, Pakistanis are extremely creative and always coming up with new fashion ideas (yet somehow sticking to traditions) but their downfall is probably their infamous lack of knowledge in 'PR', whereas the Indians are a nation of 'copying ideas' and somewhat 'making it their own'. You mock the loose pants and capris, but the fact of the matter is, if the Western world introduced such trends you'd be all for it! Pakistani's have dignity and pride and they don't 'follow' the Western world which makes them unique in their own sense.

I, by chance came across your blog and was really disappointed by the insulting remarks you have made, especially your final paragraph. Considering you were so quick to state you were Indian and 'tried' to reassuringly cancel out any bias - I felt you were extremely bias and your snarky comments here and there were absolutely uncalled for. I for one was excited about finding this blog but will not be revisiting.

WELL SAID! YOU TOOK THE WORDS OUT OF MY MOUTH .. I DIDNT LIKE THE WAY SHE WAS PUTTING DOWN PAKISTANI WESTERN DRESSED AND OTHER STYLES! ... BUT I KNOW WHT SHE DID THAT CUZ MOST OF THE INDIANS ARE V LESS TOLERANT OF PAKISTANIS, ESP WHEN ANYONE PRAISES PAKISTANI STUFF! THEY GET ALL ANNOYED!!

Pakistani work shouldnt be compared to Indian work - both are different. India likes to think anything good must belong to India - thats not the case. Pakistan has its own culture, religion and culture that contributes to its fashion. Its not from India and India needs to stop thinking they own anything good that comes from Pakistan.

In my opinion Pakistani clothing/fashion has always been so much better than Indian fashion - no offence but its an honest opinion. Also - those who think its a Indian influence its definitely NOT the case - Pakistan has its own culture, and traditions being a Muslim country it takes its inspiration from the Muslim Mughal empire that ruled India and Pakistan. Pakistan is not from India - it become its own country round about same time India became a country - but its history is rich with some influences from Persia, Afghan and Arabian traditions.

But to each their own - no one should be trying to put anyone down - I'm sure some people prefer Indian fashion and rightly so - as it has its own traditions and influences.

Peace :)

All the bridal outfits are way too heavy with too much kaam..they are very excessive over the top that is the reason they have lost their elegance. I don't like any of them and would be caught dead in them. Way too much chamak damak..too may types of kaam all bundled together..because they are over done they have lost all the elegance..

You people should be ashamed of yourselves... educated people with such misguided prejudices and outright racist remarks. It's a fashion website for god's sake, not everything is india vs. pakistan. Grow up!

wow - a simple article about bridal collections and a person's personal opinion has inspired so much displaced debate. a true testament to the level of intolerance in the world (not just Pakistan) at large. i don't see the relevance of 'terrorism' and a discourse of whether Pakistani's are allowed to work in Kuwait in the comment thread. simply, both countries produce fashion that appeals to their particular market. kudos to both of getting a job well done. i'm Pakistani, so obviously the Pakistani designs appeal to me more, but i think it's perfectly acceptable and normal for the Indian designs to appeal to anyone (Paki, Indian or any other nationality) more. it's art - and different people like different things. i'm embracing the diversity!

very easy to post comments as an anonymous person......

I am amused to see residents of assorted third world countries fight among themselves :)
bugger ye off.

I agree with the Kuwaiti person below, I myself am from Oman (a rich Arab Gulf country as well) and I have to say Indians have better reputation for their hard work, bollywood, clothing designs here than Pakis who are now facing restrictions from entering as well. BTW Pakis are NO brothers or sisters of mine (just because of same religion), we are nothing alike, we are billion times better, and there is no comparison!
It seems Pakis can’t face the fact that they are not liked, and it was Pakis who hid Osama & aided terrorists not the Middle East, these are facts and u guys need to deal with it – and stop accusing us for all your problems, we are not like the Indians who will tolerate your SHIT. After reading all these comments I have so much more respect of Indians!

You may sit well in kuwait becoz the rest of the world thinks both u and pakistanis and all muslims (even indian) are terrorists. day dreaming calling ur brothers as terorists (incase u r a non muslim who is currentl residing in kuwait....)
