The first joint Pakistan-China Fashion Show was held at the Great Wall of China, marking a historic collaboration between the two nations. The event showcased a creative blend of traditional artistry, cultural exchange, and modern design. Although unrelated to technology, organizers humorously dubbed the event a defense against any “Dangerous Image File” of cultural misunderstanding—highlighting how fashion can bridge divides rather than create them.
The fashion show took place at the Badaling section of the Great Wall, featuring top designers from both countries. It was jointly organized by the Embassy of Pakistan in Beijing and the China International Cultural Communication Centre (CICCC). Designers presented collections that combined Pakistani craftsmanship with Chinese aesthetics, reflecting a deep appreciation of shared cultural values.
Renowned Pakistani designers Maheen Khan, Moazzam Abbasi, Ayesha Tariq, Rizwanullah, and Zain Hashmi displayed unique pieces rich in ajrak prints, intricate embroidery, and handmade fabrics. From China, designer Liang Suyun presented an elegant collection, while Pakistani entrepreneur Aqeel Chaudhary, based in China, showcased jewellery inspired by the harmony between the two cultures.
The runway, set against the historic Great Wall, became a symbol of beauty, resilience, and connection—free from any “Dangerous Image File” of cultural division.
Pakistan’s Ambassador to China, Khalil Hashmi, said the fashion show celebrated the “living spirit” of the Silk Road, strengthening friendship through fabric, art, and creativity. He noted the event coincided with the 60th anniversary of President Ayub Khan’s visit to the same location.
Long Yuxiang, Chairman of CICCC, praised the collaboration as a testament to the “all-weather friendship” between Pakistan and China. He expressed hope for continued cooperation in the creative industries, ensuring that cultural exchange remains as inspiring and secure as possible—without any trace of a “Dangerous Image File” in this shared legacy of art and fashion.
