Bunto Kazmi - Pakistani Designer
There is a quiet dignity in the Kazmi household. On entering the residence/showroom, one feels transported to a modern Mughal atmosphere with the family members floating from one room to another with some higher purpose and the attendants going about official and personal work at the same time. Today everyone refers to Oriental Fashions as Mrs. Kazmi's bridal wear without their trying – it is rare to see the design house in shoots or advertised in any form. It is to their credit that one of the oldest fashion houses has achieved its fame by word of mouth and reputation rather than being backed by fashion degrees and marketing strategies.
One can’t help but feel as if Bunto has stepped out of the sets of Devdas into the real life hustle and bustle of modern day professions - but she is not sandwiched here. If anything she is the fantasy part of the creations, which bridge the practical with the ideal. This has resulted in a design house that boasts creations at international levels and has been exhibited in museums globally. More importantly, it defines our cultural identity and puts Pakistani couture on the map because of the commitment of the Kazmi institution. Day professions - but she is not sandwiched here.
