Stylish MEERA Fashion Dresses by NILOFER SHAHID

PAKISTANI FASHION DESIGNER NILOFER SHAHID  opens the portal to the subcontinent’s history through her various collections under the House of Meeras and has attained for herself the title of the ‘Runway Empress’ of Pakistan. Known as Nilofer Shahid to the world of haute couture, her redoubtable House of Meeras, meaning heritage, is at best, an immortalization of the past ensnared in her classical ensembles. The designer from Lahore is Pakistan’s finest legacy to fashion, interwoven with her own spiritual realization of Allah’s ubiquitous presence manifesting through the beautiful creations of Meeras.

Whether its in her Khalil Gibran collection or her sartorial interpretations of the Rubbaiyats of Omer Khayyam, her Central Asian line or grand Mughal recreations, her depictions of the paintings by the most celebrated artist, Abdul Rehman Chugtai, immortalizing Allama Iqbal’s poetry; Nilofer Shahid’s deference to the inner self comes to life when her models walk down a runway carrying not just the creation, but the symbiosis between the present and the past. The regality of Nilofer Shahid’s haute couture is a celebration of her own personal voyage which essentialises the existence of a soul in each outfit.
