Gujranwala, Pakistan – 19 October, 2026 – NAQSHI introduces two winter collections, the Lamha velvet collection and theAghaaz Karandi collection, bringing fresh designs to Pakistani winter fashion. Lamha features eight velvet outfits with modern cuts, flowing capes, and detailed finishing, while Aghaaz offers eight Karandi three-piece suits with embroidered shirts and matching dupattas. Both collections reflect NAQSHI’s focus on fabric selection, skilled embroidery, careful stitching, and traditional details. Together, they bring different colours, textures, and styles to Pakistan’s winter clothing season.
Two winter fabrics shape NAQSHI’s latest ready-to-wear designs
Fabric choice plays an important role in how NAQSHI develops its Pakistani winter wear. Velvet allows the design team to work with soft, flowing shapes, while Karandi provides a textured base for structured shirts and detailed embroidery. Each fabric requires a different approach to cutting, stitching, and placing design details, helping NAQSHI create outfits with their own look and feel.
A shared design approach built around different materials
As a Pakistani ready-to-wear brand, NAQSHI brings together traditional clothing details and contemporary Pakistani fashion through its Lamha and Aghaaz winter collections. Lamha includes eight velvet designs in 2PC and 3PC styles, while Aghaaz features eight embroidered Karandi 3PC outfits. Both lines follow a shared design process, with careful attention to embroidery, fabric combinations, garment shapes, and finishing. These details take different forms across the individual outfits, showing how each fabric influences the final design.
Velvet and Karandi offer different approaches to winter clothing
Fabric plays an important role in the look and feel of Velvet and Karandi winter outfits in Pakistan. Velvet has a soft, smooth surface with a gentle shine, while Karandi has a woven texture and a more natural finish. These differences affect how the fabrics look when used in clothing. NAQSHI uses both materials to explore different styles of winter dressing, with each fabric bringing its own character to the finished outfit.
Velvet brings surface texture and movement to layered designs
China Velvet has a soft, raised surface that reflects light differently as the fabric moves, adding depth to Velvet winter dresses. In Lamha, NAQSHI uses this fabric for flowing capes, long gowns, shirts, bell bottoms, and culottes. The natural fabric drape helps these outfits fall into different shapes. Some designs also combine velvet with Shamoze Silk for shirt details and stollers, while others use PK Raw Silk for inner layers and trousers. These fabric choices give each outfit its own shape and finish.
Karandi provides a woven base for embroidered three-piece outfits
Karandi fabric has a natural woven texture that gives clothing a more defined look. In Aghaaz, NAQSHI uses Karandi for shirts and matching bottoms, while embroidery, panels, and decorative trims add variety to all eight Karandi winter suits. Each three-piece outfit also includes a Crinkle dupatta with printed facing. This matching three-piece style gives Aghaaz a consistent design approach, while Lamha offers more variety through its two-piece and three-piece cuts.
Contemporary silhouettes bring variety to traditional Eastern clothing
NAQSHI brings fresh cuts to traditional Eastern wear by exploring different winter clothing silhouettes. From flowing capes and open-front gowns to straight shirts and wide bottoms, each shape gives an outfit a different look. These design choices bring variety to modern Pakistani winter outfits while keeping familiar styles such as shalwars and long shirts. The balance between shirt length, sleeve shape, and bottom width also plays an important role in how each outfit looks.
Flowing capes and open-front gowns give velvet distinct shapes
NAQSHI explores different velvet cape designs through flowing cuts, varied lengths, and carefully chosen fabric combinations. Winslow and Liorah feature cape-style outfits, while Stevie introduces an open-front gown with a separate inner layer. Together, these pieces show how garment shapes and layering create different layered winter outfits.
Winslow — Rust Velvet 3PC Cape and Bell Bottom
Winslow features a rust-coloured China Velvet cape with matching bell bottoms and a Crinkle stoller. The cape has a flared shape, a front slit, and a collar-flap neckline. Embroidery, bathki work, and contrasting Shamose facing add detail to the design. An embroidered band on the stoller completes the three-piece outfit.
Liorah — Tea Pink Velvet 2PC Cape and Culotte
Liorah brings a flowing cape style in tea pink China Velvet, paired with matching culottes. The cape features a ban neckline with machine and dori embroidery, along with sequins and square sequins. Shamose piping and facing add contrast around the edges, giving the two-piece outfit a detailed finish.
Stevie — Black Velvet 3PC Open-Front Gown and Flary Pants
Stevie features a long black China Velvet gown with a PK Raw Silk inner and flary pants. Its open-front design and V-neckline create a layered shape, while the fabric’s self-texture adds detail to the surface. Machine embroidery, bathki work, and contrasting Shamose taping highlight the gown’s design.
Shirt lengths, sleeves and bottoms change the character of velvet outfits
NAQSHI explores velvet outfit styling through different shirt lengths, sleeve cuts, and bottom designs. Melissa and Riley feature short velvet shirts, while Adriana brings a longer, flowing shape. In contrast, Vilina pairs embroidered sleeves with bell bottom trousers. These differences show how shirt length, sleeve shape, and bottom width can change the overall look of a velvet outfit.
Melissa — Zinc Blue Velvet 2PC Shirt and Bell Bottom
Melissa features a short, straight shirt made from China Velvet and Shamoze Silk, paired with matching China Velvet bell bottoms. The shirt has a boat neckline with machine embroidery and bathki detailing. Its wide, flared sleeves combine Shamoze Silk and velvet, adding contrast to the two-piece outfit.
Adriana — Red Velvet 2PC Shirt and Trouser
Adriana features a long, flared China Velvet shirt with PK Raw Silk trousers. The shirt has a front neckline opening and wide sleeves that add shape to the design. Contrasting Shamoz piping runs along the edges, giving the red outfit a clean and defined finish.

Riley — Olive Green Velvet 3PC Shirt and Shalwar

Its loose shirt shape and traditional shalwar create a different look from the straight shirts and bell bottoms in Lamha.
Karandi shirts take on different forms through their matching bottoms
In Aghaaz, NAQSHI uses different bottom styles to give three-piece winter suits their own shape. Zaigham and Zarar feature a Karandi shirt and trouser combination with straight bottoms, while Qasar introduces wider cuts through culotte outfit designs. These differences show how shirt length, trouser width, and garment shape work together to create distinct winter outfits.
Zaigham — Black Karandi 3PC Shirt and Straight Trouser
Zaigham features a flowing black Karandi shirt with matching straight trousers and a Crinkle dupatta. The shirt has three panels that create a loose, balanced shape.

Zarar — Skin Karandi 3PC Shirt and Straight Trouser
Zarar combines a skin-coloured Karandi shirt with matching straight trousers and a Crinkle dupatta. The three-panel shirt features a curved hem that gives it a different shape from traditional straight shirts. An embroidered neckline band, buttons, and sleeve detailing add character, while decorative taping and dot lace finish the edges.
Qasar — Brown Karandi 3PC Shirt and Culotte
Qasar features a long brown Karandi shirt paired with matching culottes and a Crinkle dupatta. The panelled shirt has a flowing shape, while the wider culottes give the outfit a different look from straight-trouser designs. Machine embroidery highlights the front and wide sleeves, while decorative trims and Shamoz details complete the three-piece outfit.
Embroidery and finishing bring identity to each winter design
Beyond fabric and clothing cuts, NAQSHI gives Embroidered winter outfits their own character through careful embroidery placement and garment finishing. Some designs feature detailed work around the neckline, while others highlight sleeves, front panels, or shirt borders. Small details such as lace, piping, and neat edges also help define the overall look. By placing each detail with care, NAQSHI brings traditional craft into its winter designs without making every outfit look the same.
Embroidered necklines and borders distinguish five Karandi designs
In Aghaaz, NAQSHI uses embroidered necklines, sleeve detailing, and panel embroidery to give each Karandi outfit its own look. Farham highlights the front of the shirt, while Mehaal focuses on the shoulders and sleeves. Lakeysha, Elani, and Moomal bring further variety through embroidered borders, vertical patterns, and fine threadwork. These differences show how embroidery placement changes the appearance of each three-piece outfit.

Velvet embroidery works alongside contrasting trims and decorative finishes
In Lamha, NAQSHI combines machine embroidery with different finishing techniques to add detail to velvet outfits. Melissa features bathki work, while Liorah uses embroidery and sequins to highlight its neckline. Riley brings appliqué detailing to its sleeves, adding another style of surface work. Meanwhile, Vilina features cutwork along the shirt hem, and Stevie uses contrasting Shamose taping to define the gown’s edges. These details, along with decorative piping, help highlight necklines, sleeves, and borders without changing the main shape of each outfit.
NAQSHI’s winter designs reflect a varied approach to Eastern ready-to-wear
The NAQSHI winter collections show how traditional clothing styles can take different forms while keeping their connection to Pakistani Eastern wear. From coordinated two-piece outfits to complete three-piece suits, each design offers a different way of presenting familiar clothing styles. This variety reflects NAQSHI’s approach to winter fashion, where every outfit has its own purpose while remaining part of the brand’s ready-to-wear range.
Two collections present different expressions of the same design process
NAQSHI Lamha uses velvet, modern cuts, and contrasting fabrics to create different winter styles. Meanwhile, NAQSHI Aghaaz focuses on Karandi shirts with embroidered panels, matching bottoms, and coordinated dupattas. Although the fabrics and styles differ, both collections follow NAQSHI’s approach to thoughtful design, careful stitching, and neat finishing, showing how traditional Eastern clothing can take different forms.
