Islamabad Fashion Week 2011 has raised many eyebrows from the fashion industry regarding the unconventional manner of its organization.
It is safe to say that the usual mega fashion labels such as Hasan Sheheryar Yasin (HSY), Sana Safinaz and Khadija Shah have not been invited to participate in the venture.
