runway report

rules of the season — the hottest trends seen at Fashion Pakistan Week 2012

1.goldIn fashion, there is no such thing

as too much opulence and gold is

decadence at its very best. Gold is

super flattering on all skin tones and

you can also add sparkle to any outfit

in bold and brilliant accessories in this

rich hue.

2.redRed ruled the runway at Fashion

Pakistan and why shouldn’t it? The

color has a truly timeless appeal and

a certain va va voom quality that is

undeniable. Spotted in Bunto Kazmi’s

elegant collection as well as at Nomi

Ansari, Pinx and Sanam Agha, its

obvious the designers want you to

stand out from the crowd in bold

rouge.

3.the jumpsuitseemed to be the buzz-word for most

of the designers at Fashion Pakistan

as each runway cozied up to the idea

of some style of jumpsuit. There were

streamlined silhouettes, bright colors

and more feminine ones as well. But it

didn’t matter what form it was shown

in, the jumpsuit is definitely here to

stay.

4.pants in printvivid prints that catch the eye and

never let go were seen at Monsoon,

Umar Sayeed and on print queen

Shamaeel’s models. Pair these with a

neutral top to balance the attention

your pants will garner.

5.neonHave a ball with this eye-popping

trend. It’s an instant injection of

vibrancy for the summer. Take a

cue from Bani D and Monsoon and

embrace the bright. If this trend is

simply too explosive for you, a subtle

pop of color can also be achieved

through accessories as shown by

Sanam Chaudry.

6.pastel suits for menIn a world dominated by a darker

palette, pastels are a breath of fresh

air. This season let the lighter colors

put a spring in your step. Pastel colors

don’t draw attention but instead signal

a suave persona. Great choice for the

warmer climate coming soon.

the best part of the day! we have for you eggs, in every way!

Xander’s Eggs Benedict

This is the perfect breakfast to have if

you’re in the mood for something fancy

and delicious. Poached eggs placed on

toasted French bread with your choice

of meat (salmon or turkey bacon) topped

with zingy hollandaise sauce and a touch

of paprika is one of Xander’s best egg

dishes. Wash it down with any of their

fresh juices or flavored coffees and your

morning will be complete

Irish Breakfast at Butler’s

If you take your breakfast seriously,

Butler’s should be your morning haunt and

the Irish Breakfast your choice of dish.

What really makes these eggs special

is everything that comes with it. Two

eggs sunny-side-up are served with hash

browns, a roasted tomato, turkey bacon

and sausages, this breakfast should keep

you going through the day, or at least for

the next few hours.

Anda Ghutala at Cafe Pyala

While Anda Ghutala is available at almost every single dhaba in the

city, the one at Cafe Pyala stands out from all the others. Unlike its

competitors, which contain the usual rich blend of tomatoes, onions

and chilies, this one has upped it a notch by adding potatoes and

serving it with a crispy paratha.

the season for

motorsportsby Emmad Hameed

sports

You try to battle the butterflies-in-your-

stomach feeling as you look out over a sea of bright

orange cones scattered across the race track. The

course is always designed by a race director, who is

himself an expert driver and will challenge your driving

skills using complex twists, turns and chicanes. You try to

imagine the fastest line through the track and hope that

you don't forget the layout which you memorised during a

few short walks. The first autocross you ever attempt will

remain entrenched in your memory as an exhilarating and

adrenaline-pumping experience. But it's an experience you

will want to come back to again and again.

Before the race begins, the race director always

holds a drivers meeting in which he briefs the drivers

about safety and rules. The presence of rescue vehicles

and an ambulance at every event reassures drivers that

the management takes the well-being of the participants

seriously. Helmets and seat belts are mandatory for all

drivers. Every car goes through a technical inspection

before it is allowed to race.

XTREME Motor Sports does a great job of organising

this event and takes precautions to ensure that a great

evening of racing can be enjoyed in a safe environment.

Xtreme Motor Sports has been holding the

championship for three years and has already arranged

dozens of successful events at the flood-lit Fountain

Parking Lot on designated Saturdays. The races

normally begin at 8 PM and go on till the early

hours of the morning.

The second round of this year’s

championship was staged on April 14th,

with participants and enthusiasts of the

sports thronging to the venue despite

violence in the city. As always, there

was plenty for spectators to enjoy

as leading drivers from the city powered their way through

the track.

Autocross driving is about speed and precision. The

goal is to maneuver the car through strategically-placed

cones. Hitting a cone incurs a two-second penalty for

the driver. In a sport where the podium places are often

determined by a few hundredths of a second, the driver’s

ability to control the car precisely while maintaining the

fastest line through the bends separates the winners from

the rest in this sport.

Each season has several races and a points system

determines the best drivers in their respective categories.

The categories are organized according to the power of the

car's engine and the vehicle model. The categories are A,

B and C Prepared and Stock categories, with additional

categories for ladies and novice drivers. The Prepared

categories are generally for faster cars which have been

modified, often at great expense, to handle better and to

be quicker. With time, female drivers are also becoming

enthusiastic about this sport and several are now active on

the Autocross scene. The Stock categories see cars from

Suzuki Swifts and Honda Civics to some more exotic cars

like 350z's and RX8's.

There have been enthusiastic audiences at every

Autocross event including many families for whom a

separate seating enclosure is provided at the event. Entry

for spectators is free, but participants have to pay a fee

to enter their cars in the race. The organisers of XTREME

Motorsports have shown great tenacity and have managed

to sustain the event for the last three years ensuring a

regular dose of entertainment for the metropolis and a

great evening of racing for the participants.
