Umar Sayeed
“I love the color pink and definitely think that hues of pink suit almost every woman and are a perfect canvas for semi formal and formal collections. The color pink is refreshing, fresh and often a breath of fresh air.”
Ayesha Khurram
“Pink is definitely a nice color, but I am not sure if I would say it’s my all-time favorite. I am the kind of designer who enjoys working with stark combinations such as black, white and blue. But yes, pink is a fresh color and is perfect for summer time.”
Aisha Alam
“Pink is one of my favorites especially because there are so many ways we can play with this color, and it comes in so many hues and shades. It’s the kind of color which comes to life with almost minimal or no embellishments. It’s also a color which jumps out with simple accents such as trimmings and edgings.”
Afsheen Mehboob
“Pink is easily and definitely one of my favorite colors. It’s a color which comes to life when put against red or black, and truly jumps out with even slight embellishments.”
Saira Rizwan
“I like some shades of pink while some I find truly horrible,” said the Lahore-based designer who has created waves due to her extremely well received collections at Bridal Couture Week. “The chai pink shade is my personal favorite and one I like playing with almost all the time.”
Nosheen and Shabnam Rana
“I am a big fan of the color pink and like using it in its simplest and purest form. Pink truly carries the essence of the rose with it, and is the perfect option for a fresh and pure feel to an outfit.”
Nida Ali
“I like pink and it’s definitely a color which often plays into my designs but I think it’s the kind of color which requires some sprucing up and some jazzing up. This is why I like using pink with a contrasting shade such as black or grey.”
