Sania Maskatiya,s Exhibition in Karachi - Pictures and Review

Not to exaggerate but "Exquisite" is the perfect word to elaborate Sania Maskatiya,s recent Exhibition held in Karachi. The interior, the designs, the crowd, refreshment, trained staff and above all the Prints.

Held in Palm Marquee Karachi, the ambiance was electrifying. What I saw on the exhibition was surprising if not shocking. Nearly 200 hundred females, mostly middle aged, following a queue and waiting for their turn to buy their required pieces. That was not a usual scene to me since i knew that there were couple of other exhibitions going parallel in the city ; at the same day and same time. ( the other two were Threads and Motifs, Maria B,) Indeed Sania Maskatiya,s prints were above all those designers in this particular season.

Starting from the car parking, it took me nearly 15 minutes to find a reasonable corner to park my vehicle, as there were, around 300 plus vehicles parked in front of the Venue and on both sides of the road, making almost impossible to let go the going traffic.

Reception was more relaxing though, as there were many good faces around, making an air of pleasant, peaceful yet vibrant atmosphere.

As i moved further and into the main hall, a sea like vast hall embedded with great looking White Color Scheme amalgamated with expensive looking interior dazzled my eyes. "Imagine some huge white Palace from Hollywood movies, seeing it live and you would lose your heart then and there". Beautiful dove like simple yet elegant layout of the exhibition.

On the left hand side there was a neatly dressed music band plying mix trance and mesmerizing the customers. The immediate effect of such atmosphere was, customers were so easy and comfortable in moving about and shopping that all they wanted was a perpetual stay.

Another high mark by the designer was the arrangement of refreshment right in the center of the hall, so if you would feel an appetite, a quick bite to a muffin or chocolate tart would refresh you for further shopping.

Different TV channels were all around, covering and making reports of the exhibition.

But one thing was certainly missing, and that was the presence of Designer herself. Had she been among the people, they would have felt more comfortable and more zealous in shopping.

Maria B lawn Exhibition Karachi - Review and pictures

Pink faced, fair complexioned, bold eyes, cheerful and attractive personality and affable communication. The designer Maria B, goes about from one mic to another giving detailed description of her 2013 collection. A glimpse on her face and you can easily tell she is excited and expecting marvelous response against her long tiring hard work over Maria B. Collection 2013.

The First look of the exhibition is peaceful and placid. From the entrance to the main hall - on your right hand, comes the red carpet, flashes of cameras, bright and sharp litter of camera -lights, dozens of channels holding mic to the Woman of the Night Maria B. Excuses of photographers, each endeavors to take the best shot of the person focused. And few imitated hellos and hi,s of celebrities. Its indeed a fascinating scene.

On your left is the sitting area, meant for the guests to sit and relax while their family are busy in shopping inside the main hall where a vast area displaying the exuberant prints by the designer. Not to forget on each side, red carpet and sitting area, mannequin displaying the best prints of Maria B collection 2013.

As you step inside the main hall, as far as your goes your sight, the spring colors scheme and beautiful prints of Maria B worn by the hairless mannequins welcome you. And stoping for each print you wish to grab it promptly and imagine yourself wearing it. ( the comment Applies on ladies only ). To the extreme end there are two sale counters, made for the convenience of the customers. Each mannequin provides two necessary information in labels, one, Price of the Article , two, the code of the article. So once you have chosen a print, you can tell the sale staff which prints you are interested in by providing the code.

Almost in the center of the hall, there is created a green carpeted ramp for the show, giving an energetic green look, to the sides of the ramp imitated green trees are erected, giving the Green house effect and welcoming the spring. A beautiful and mesmerizing look though !

Little late though, but the show starts near well past 7, but again displaying the marvels of the designer.

Cheering laughters, half hugs, cheeks touching formalities, applause and words of appreciation followed by acknowledgement ends the exhibition. Except the few who wanted to have pictures with the gorgeous Maria B.

The event was organized by Tehmina Khaled of Take II.
