So much done in so little time...

OK....its been a crazy couple of months sincei had the time to sit down for more than 20 minutes at one place where i was alone enough to feel like a human being rather than a machine...
last i remember writing about was this dynamic dream that i had and wanted to fulfill...well since then i have been working my boots off to practice what i had written ...
and now i have the hour to fill you in on what steps have been taken in fulfillment of that dream.

I was working on my fall collection, after long awaited inspiration, i called it "inspire life" the name is more philiosophical than what is generally associated with fashion and glamor world but i have always believed in the substance of my work rather than just the superficial layering..Inspire life, is a simple idea, My take on life without inspiration is that of an animal who has no direction and focus in life except dealing what comes ones way and when it comes, inspiration is the focus that makes us human beings and a part of the progressive society of the world. It makes us want to acheive and believe in ourselves and in the world of which we have become a part of.I decided my inspiration for the men's wear line had to be a retuen to basis with a Munib Nawaz edge to it... a quintessential male is inspired by 3 basic needs(atleast at the house of MN we believe so) the 3 needs are
SEX-Love
POWER
MONEY
having the 3 needs in mind, the collection began to come out almost automatically, i still had no idea of how to launch this collection. There was an aspect of pulling a fashion show but seemed far fetched keeping in mind the last mens wear fashion show held in Pakistan was almost 25years ago. But like the dream, the collection, Inspiration was the key word. If i was inspired, i would believe and if i believe, I ACHEIVE.
the collection was shaping up ...MONEY meant color in my moodboard, all money notes are colorful and have intricate details that make them unique, so the money part of the collection was based on colors of money. (when i upload pictires it will make more sense)
Power is black and gold, its the opulence of darkness, its the animal instinct, the lions gold, the black of the night when the power attacks. Blalck seemed to me the obvious choice for this segment of the collection.
SEX-Love was my wedding wear line, yes weddings are an official agreement for sex and all the other facets of relationships and living with someone for the rest of your life. colors of golds as embellishments and all other opulent attributes in a garment with a sopisticated feel to it were employed in this segment.

Now came the show. I had been approached by a brand manager of RADO-Switzerland to do a fashion show and as GOD would have it, the first all mens fashion show in Pakistan was agreed upon. Inspire Life was going to reach millions because we also brought along GEO pakistan as our media partner, it is the largest and most watched network in pakistan.

so the show after many sleepless nights and weeks of intense finalization happened. the place looked sharp,beautiful, relentlessly sophisticated, carried the message of sex, power and money and Inspired Life.

Initial reaction of the press was overwhelming, people believed in me, my brand and my vision, it is only a mtter of time now that the shops will be extended in numbers, the next plan is to open atleast 5 more outlets within the next 15 months. lets see if ill b able to pull that too...
so now the pictures will be uploaded soon and the video will be run locally and internationally through geo network...
more soon ...

Munib Nawaz – Dreams are the most important aspect of Reality.

 

I know its been a while I have been kinda caught up traveling and trying to get settled in routine back here. Its been overwhelming to say the least, the response of friends, family and the general public has shown that Pakistan is ready for good news. We are living in complex and competitive times. There is a lot to be achieved and potential is to be realized. Munib Nawaz is trying to re-set the bars higher and higher even for my personal self so we are always directed and focused towards strengthening our strengths and not focus on weaknesses.

After the generic overall view, let me get to what talking fashion with Munib Nawaz is all about in this entry. Being positive brings positive. Dreams are the Most important thing for the reality.

 

 I had been looking for the purpose of this blog whether I become one of those superficial freaks of media who make it all about the outer layer of life or am I still a little human. Found the inspiration in inspiration, dreams and all that brings the reality of certain people together. It’s a belief, in the same dream, at various levels. I had a dream, which sometimes is considered absurd and made fun of but that dream also made me friends, acquaintances and people who resent me. The dream of becoming one of the worlds largest fashion houses and adding more human element, personality in the fashion industry.

 

Some people just believe in you and their belief makes you believe in yourself, they don’t enforce their aspirations onto you but you know they are looking at you. I was offered to be a part of santa cruz-Moda as the winner of the Miami Fashion Week, Men’s Style Designer of the year. I was almost looking forward to it but I was not too sure as I wanted to use this situation to apply for a bigger dream, which I don’t want to mention right now. Somehow this person pointlessly made an effort and I could smell my dream, maybe not the finality of the dream but this step surely brings me closer to my goals. I wish I could just let things out now but not before things are confirmed.

 

Alongside that Munib Nawaz the brand is working on many new things for our market. Men’s accessories will soon be launched one step at a time. Im working on the launch of the summer line.  Opening myself to markets that I didn’t cater to earlier. This is a time of rediscovery and rejuvenation. A lot to be achieved, aspired and worked really smartly towards.

 

Now another incomplete hint, I’ll be back on tv as the host this time its going to mean something to all of you.

 

My Dreams keep me Real.

munib nawaz at miami fashion week

wow! such a crazy week just passed. it was full of its ups and downs and mediocrity. there were times of ecstatcy and times at which i was on the verge of falling apart. the trip to miami came through even though many preparations didnt go as planned. we made it to miami, after going through the few hours of investigation at the airport, me and rabya crashed as soon as we reached the hotel.

the preparations of the show started with a twist, i had sent all my collection through dhl, an international courier company, but when i recieved my pieces here, i was short of one very important jacket. well didnt let that bother me down too much and continued. the people we met from the first day were extremely professional and very positive. The president of miami fashion week, Beth Sobol along with her team were spot on in welcoming and maintaining a cordial relation with all the designers and making sure they fit right in at the backstage of the show. the backstage team headed by Jon(forgot his full name) were people with alot of positive energy and enthusiasm about what they were doing.

had the chance to hear and meet , mercedes gonzalez who is the head of global purchasing group, she sounded to me like an inspirational person, someone who takes success and dedication the way it should be taken.

Then at the first fitting, felt the samae great energy from the models and stylists which created a great sense of team work for the show. the other designers showcaing with me were michael cinca, hadi katra and amato couture. amato and hadi's work was very inspiring alongside that they ended up becoming good friends during the course of these few days.

the night before the show me and rabya went to an after party at the plunge, where we met, vincent de paul, who was the celebrity entry for my show and he introduced us to his friend, lee dahlberg who is the designer and owner of Rockband(http://www.leatherrockbands.com/). we all created a connection with each other in less than an hour where me and Lee decided to colaborate for my show at the miami fashion week. he had a showing at neiman marcus but still showed up at the show with his brilliant collection to accessorize my models and me. I was honored that he had come so i asked him and vincent de paul to share the finale with me on the show, doing so made headlines throughout international media. I even sported an original rockband tee shirt with my jacket, which in a weird sort of way worked, i felt.

The response of the show was overwhelming and the mdeia started pouring in for interviews. I was very keen on finding out what mercedez gonzalez had to say as she was one person i respected and a real authority on business of fashion. she said "u sir are a rockstar" and went on comparing my work to that of jean paul gaultier.. Honored and overwhelmed, i almost brokedown for a few seconds.luckily rabya was there to hug me through the emotions.

there were poeple with great positive energy who i was blessed to meet. vincent de paul, lee dahlberg, beth sobol and mercedes gonzalez were special. they gave me synergy, harmony and hope in the goodness that each individual carries in them and the forces that are needed to actualize anyones potential. Thank you all for your support, kindness and love.

more soon.
