Pakistani couture designer Faiza Samee showcased a collection specially designed for Ogaan with the upcoming festive season in mind. 

'The silhouettes -- saris, lehengas with short blouses, voluminous shararas -- combine traditional Pakistani and Indian elements, bringing them together in an exciting new way. The embroideries, done by the finest craftsmen from Pakistan, borrow strongly from our shared common heritage,' Faiza says of her collection.
