The formation of the Pakistan Institute of Fashion Design in 1994 has opened the possibilities of formal education and training in the field. Later, Pakistan fashion Design Council (PFDC) has launched fashion shows in 2010, which gave the chance to amalgamate the local industry to the international fashion designers.

Introduction A significant advancement and growth can be observed in the fashion industry of Lahore, after the year 2000, which has been reflected in the rapid transformations in the local fashion trends.
