Passion is at the heart of the Mausummery brand, just as passion and hard work are at the heart of almost every Pakistani working woman. This spring/summer Mausummery honors these very women and their accomplishments by featuring them in exclusive photo shoots. The first shoot in this series will be launched in April followed by more in the months to come. The showcased professionals in the first shoot come from various sectors in the work industry and endorse Mausummery as their brand of choice for any and all occasions.
The shoot will feature Radio Jockeys (RJs) Fizza Aslam, Sophie Anjum and Aneeta Bokutz; senior managers Nubla Iftikhar [Technology], Anam Shahid [Architecture] and Sahar Najam [Advertising] as well as journalists Sonya Rehman, Henna Saeed and Saira Agha. These women depict strength and achievement, qualities the Mausummery brand supports and symbolizes.
Make-up and styling for the shoot are being done by Depilex, while the photography will see Mobeen Ansari’s creative direction. “Though I have been doing photography for the last nine years, this project is special for me not just because it is my first fashion shoot but because it is an honor to be part of a tribute to working women- that too with a leading brand like Mausummery!” explains Mobeen.
The photo shoot will be featured in various top publications as well as select online websites and social pages.
Mausummery has been around for an impressive 16 years, having celebrated their 15th anniversary just last year. They have 25 stores across 15 cities in Pakistan and showcase collections the year round. No matter what the weather, you will always find something new and fresh in the Mausummery collection.
