Im not fond of your recommended brands simply because of these brands being over priced i know inflation is all over but still it doesn't justify their price tags, i can afford these brands but choose not to buy even once, you won't believe it i bought myself two 2 piece cloths which is worth 1800 and 1500 unstitched of brand zulbery, I'm first time experiencing these exotic brands i used to previously buy gul ahmed alkaram but now i have switched it to multiple upcoming brands, why not give them a try... I think spending 40k to 60k on simply an outfit just for one occasion is so spendy..

@@aamnaisani ya amna as I live in Lahore I also go to Lahore center too

I am great fan of Amna and your fashion suggestions but I belong to the group who search for a 3 pc suit from 3k to 5k for Eid and for everyday wear, I prefer to buy around 2k which is why I buy from Sapphire, Nishat, Ego, So kamal etc and look upto their sales.

I hate that so many brands are doing organza dupattas. It’s impossible to wear organza in this heat!! Also, so many lawn prints are see through and need slips which is also impossible in this heat!! Also, the mix kapra!! Polyester is such a big no for our weather but so many brands are making mix lawns!! In Karachi you can still wear cotton in summers because you get breeze in the evenings but in Lahore we can only wear lawn! Not even cotton. And now these brands are giving us mix lawn which is unacceptable

When I was getting married my mom got me a few classic outfits custom made from a Lahore based designer . At that time I was very annoyed because Khirads style was all the rage and Ammi made me classic Kashmiri coat, classic white block printed Kurta set etc. my MiL in the meanwhile got me all the trendy clothes which I absolutely LOVED. 11 years on, i keep going back for the Kashmiri coat and other clothes that Ammi made because those are all timeless clothes of good quality silks that can never go out of style. I am so happy that I was able to get so much mileage out of those clothes and don’t plan on retiring them any time soon( or ever )

"Dear Amna, Aslamoalikum! I am an avid follower of your show on KZread, and I must say, your insights have been invaluable in helping me gain firsthand knowledge in the fashion industry. Your work, your style, and the way you communicate are truly inspiring. I was thrilled to learn that you chose to pursue your passion in fashion at a time when most were leaning towards traditional careers like medicine and engineering. Your determination and success are truly motivating. I particularly enjoyed today's episode of Fashion Friday on Fashion Fortnightly. Additionally, we are immensely proud of Mr. Khawaja's achievements. Thank you for all that you do; your work is greatly appreciated. Best regards, Mona.

i went to zara shahjahaan last year and she was using cheap thick indian raw silk fabric .it was a complete turnoff for me .price real raw silk wali thi

khaadi and nishat linen

I feel like Zara shahjahan has improved this year fabric wise. I remember about two years ago I’d bought a couple of things from them and the fabric was just horrible. I got a two piece suit for Eid this time from them and I love the colour , pattern and the overall feel of the fabric. Amna you talk a lot about your love for saris I was wondering if you could do an episode on saris, different drapes etc, dos and don’ts. There are a lot of sari brands on insta now as well so would love to hear what you think. Thank you!

I love how you talk about clothes. As I watch your recommendations for Eid, I am going through Cross Stitch Silk collection. So pretty. I haven't seen the fabric as I am browsing online. But the way they are stylised, they look really tempting.

Well done Amna really informative show but still few loop holes....as we all belong to middle class families and can't support or u can say even afford these elite class brands. I'll suggest u to kindly update us about brands like 1.zellbury 2.Saya 3.khaadi 4.limelight 5.orient Even why don't u guide us about local vendors....trust me it will be more helpful for majority. One more request to kindly share foot wears ideas as well. I'm your biggest silent fan...love u ❤❤❤❤

I am wearing MariaB and Limé but i also have a option of a beautiful kurta from Wear Azulie. So lets see.❤❤❤

#askaamna a super random question but what do you think about people who overdress on eid? like the saying goes "style over comfort" and people wearing pure formals for either of the eids (choti or bari) just because they want to look the best. Or should people keep it comfortable and simple? because in your fashion fortnightly you put an emphasis on people not dressing up according to the weather or overdressing for eid etc

Amna, could you please share the link of the saari that sajjal wore in zard patton ka bun's press conference? Could not find it.I really want to buy it.

Salam Amna❤ So I’m a shalwar qameez lover and now I’m more into Stiched clothes cuz they give me great and happy vibes So the brands I’m wearing these days are NISHAT, Kastoor, Sapphire, Zeen, Ziva, Kayseria, ethnic and generation for casual wear. I’m saving money to buy something from Zara shahjaan and Jugnoo cuz I’m a fan of these two. And thank you so much for sharing, your videos helps a lot and a fan of your whites. Stay blessed❤

Love how candid you are ❤

Zara Shahjahan: The only attractive collection I find as a teenager is, there coco one cuz it aligns very well with this Eid’s weather, having vibrant hues and playful styles. Talking about there other collections, so they are not so worth it (according to me) because they charge more than that outfit could’ve costed them in its making + the designs are also not so unique this time because they’ve mostly pasted the same embroidered neckline that they have made, a long time ago.

Barouqe is an affordable brand and has a nice collection

Good recommendations But I would expect you to discuss brands for diaspora, I myself live abroad for at least 24 years. A lotttttt has changed since then , I stay informed as much as I can. I would appreciate Thank you

Thank you so much! For those of us far away (USA) we love to hear where to shop, what’s trending and for me (larger sizes) thanks for doing the homework and please, push those designers to make clothes available for all shapes and sizes

Hi Amna I am your regular viewer from quite long time now, never commented on any of yours video .I learnt a lot from you either its about fashion and styling or personality grooming. here's one recommendation please make video on clothing brands which are affordable for middle class, or a person belong to family with 7 to 8 members. Thank you

Much needed vlog...Sania Maskatiya has nothing pocket friendly I mean within 10 k or so...Zehra and khadija are working beautiful too❤

#askamna Please do an episode on footwear. Which kind( colour,shape,style,heels type) of footwear one need to have that goes with almost all the clothes. Since I don't want to buy too many pairs.

plz share links

These designers r sooooo expensive when u r able to get free as a gift Then its okay Otherwise People should avoid them to cut down the prices

👏 for your editor

#askamna my 13 year old has trouble choosing eastern wear for traditional occasions because most of stuff being sold is so auntieish. I would really appreciate your recommendations. Her sense of style is super simple and prefers pastel colours.

Love it. Men's Eid collections next year too please.

Recycling, high end thrift designers fashions ,jewelry in the west that even the well to do peoples buys ! There is big trend in the west buying thrift fashions, jewelry , furniture because it makes sense to recycle! Pakistan should start recycle trend in ever areas, thanks for promoting this, Mahira Khan also did a video on her closet and showed how she recycles her designers fashions and jewelry !

I love Maryam D. Rizwan’s collection. So tired of all the embroidery, just prefer solids witha bit of style & flare. Will definitely chk her out but GODDDDD she’s expensive.

Zuri is one of my favourite brands for wedding clothes , love their cut and designs

Nice episode, I wish should have done early, so could have done on time eid shopping. Would like to share my experience with Sania Maskatiya, the dress I bought (slik) stretched out just after one wear and customer service didn't help at all till today!

I really wanted Zara Shahjahan's handcrafted shalwar kameez for Eid but their website says it will be delivered 2 weeks after Eid. The message was there since the collection was uploaded. 😢

Hello amna.. i saw your video just now… you didnt mention actual affordable brands which we really wear.. i live in dubai and i can easily afford all these brands but i still prefer to wear ethnic , khaadi and saphire.. i gifted dresses from ethnic to my indian friends here and they just loved loved loved it.. you should also mention beach tree… they all are those brands which we actually prefer to wear..i agree with you only on zara shahjahan and generations.. never been to karachi but ill totally like to visit koel and blocked..❤️

I am not familiar with the brands- could you type them in the video titles instead of putting the brand logo.

love your shirt

what about Fahad Mustafa's new brand?

I know you’re getting a lot of slack for the prices and all… but these are good recommendations. If you think about it you have been very reasonable in putting up this list and it’s brave too coz this kind of shortlists can always start a rumble 😂 considering everyone has gotten there own style and choice. Good job 👏🏼

I have been Sumaira khanani customer for 4 years now. I like her formals but her pret is usually looking good on the models however the lengths of the shirts do not look as lovely when u are 169 cm & above. I wish she could accomodate the tall girls in her pret as well. I do like her work though as she is one of the few designers who let u customize her pieces. So the money spent is well spent🤩

I wanted to buy the watermelon top from blocked but they were sold out

Awesome she is repeatedly asking people to repurpose your clothes and she get discount too . Good work 😊

Sana maskatiya is just not worth it. I can buy it , but it’s literally not value for money. Buying a 20k plus lawn only to find out that the dupatta is not pure china shafoon, cheap shafoon dupattas are such a turn off.

Hi So good review . Sania Maskatiya is way too overpriced. I feel her clothes are really expensive and hard to get . Sumaira Khanani I ordered last Eid. Her materials and combos very spot on. Pure silk and pure organza dupattas really loved them. Her delivery was spot on in usa. This time around on bari Eid I am not a fan of the material she has used. Prices are very high for the Cora silk ones. Combos are really good
