Fashion designer Nilofer Shahid will present her collection Dastaan – Journey of a Woman in New York during a fashion show on June 23, 2019. Nilofer Shahid in her collection, shows the story of every woman’s life. The journey is captured from the moment she becomes a bride and ventures into the unchartered waters of the real world where its complexities present a millions challenges to her. It is her metamorphosis from an innocent being having led a protected life into a strong and powerful woman who takes on the challenges of this world head-on, thereby flowering into a being that is ethereal with the spirit of the creator flowing through her veins. This collection is dedicated to honouring and celebrating the voices of women, as they gain a sense of the inestimable value and transformative power in their own words This collection is dedicated to honouring and celebrating the voices of women, as they gain a sense of the inestimable value and transformative power in their own words. There comes a time when the wisdom, beauty and strength of the feminine voice begins to rise within us, despite all the forces around the world that seek to mute it. “A Journey of a Woman” is a celebration of understanding oneself and self-actualization. Every level experienced by a woman culminating into her emergence as a complete, coherent and magnanimous being, who is indeed glorious to behold! For myself personally, “My Journey is about much more than the fashion world”: It is the story of a young woman whose vision and hard work made her a role model for women everywhere-a woman who dreamed big, fought to have it all, broke the rules, and loved passionately along the way. As Allama Iqbal stated about woman, “Through the existence of woman, there is colour in the picture of creation, from her instrument is the inner burning of life.”
