First transgender model walks the runway at fashion week Pakistan!

The fashion industry has always been very bold when it comes to the sensitive topics. Talking about the beautifully haunting video by Ali Xeeshan, which portrayed the atrocity of child marriages, or the applaudable initiative by HSY to highlight the need of education at remote villages and giving a respectable livelihood to thousands of struggling artisans. PFDC is on the top.
Just like that this time too PFDC made history by courageously providing its platform to a trans model, a proud first for Pakistan. This will be the first time a trans model has walked the ramp for any official fashion week in Pakistan and we can barely contain our excitement for this much-needed inclusion that is sure to only make our foreseeable future a lot more diverse and colorful.

We spoke to the polite yet confident model, Maavia, before her catwalk moment and asked whether she was aware of this huge leap of inclusion for her community that she was about to initiate. And we were totally impressed by her answer.

“I’m so excited to play my part in making this world more inclusive,” she spoke exclusively to Something Haute. “It is such an honor for me to represent my community on such a prestigious platform. I know I should be nervous but I’m not. I’m so happy to finally fulfill this lifelong dream of mine.”

Furthermore “Taking Maavia was no brainier,” Hamza said. “Not only is she educated and beautiful, she’s the perfect person to represent her community. I want people to see how beautiful diversity and inclusiveness is.”

Giving respect to transgenders is something we all should focus on. every citizen has an equal right to live their life with all the basic necessities. Thus these initiatives only make us to progress more and more and we hope to see such initiatives in near future.
