Saira Rizwan: Nearly Two Decades of Getting It Right
Saira Rizwan began sounding like a simple idea in 2007, when she began to create a brand that could evolve but still remain true to itself- something that is rare in Pakistani fashion. Collections are constantly changing. The styles of silhouettes fluctuate from season to season. Yet Saira's signature, the unique combination of classic craftsmanship with softly modern design, has always remained sacrosanct.
As an alum of the Lahore School of Economics and having studied fashion in the US, Saira developed a very clear vision for what she wanted to do upon returning to Pakistan. Now, that particular vision incorporates bridal couture, formal wear for special occasions, semi-precious silk, luxury lawn, and anything else you can think of. String & Thread brings the entire range to consumers directly in the USA, without customs charges and without any need for third-party shipping agencies or long waiting times.
The Collection, Broken Down
Saira Rizwan's range spans more ground than most brands attempt, and manages each line with the same level of care:
Luxury Pret by Saira Rizwan. This is what the brand has quietly become famous for. Luxury pret by Saira Rizwan covers silk co-ords, velvet pret, and Eid-specific drops, each one designed to be worn immediately, without alteration. The Dahini Silk Pret and Rumi Eid Pret lines in particular have developed strong followings for their relaxed silhouettes and rich fabric choices that don't look relaxed at all once you're wearing them.
- Formals: The festive formal range, Mehr o Mah, Naqash, and Illiana, among others, is where the heavier embroidery work lives. Organza, net, and chiffon panels with hand-placed embellishments, structured enough for wedding season but never so stiff that you forget you're wearing them. These are pieces made for long evenings.
- Unstitched Lawn & Luxury Lawn: For women who prefer to have things made to their exact fit, the lawn collections offer beautifully printed and embroidered fabric that doesn't need custom stitching to look intentional; it already is.
- Bridals: From mehndi looks to baraat gowns, the bridal range earns its reputation through detail rather than drama. Classic silhouettes, handcrafted embellishments, and the kind of finishing that shows up clearly in photographs and even more clearly in person.
