Guldastah’18
Hugs have been synonymous with the festivities of Eid since its very inception, this beautiful act of physical expression of love and joy perhaps knows no alternative and to think of the celebrations of the cheerful occasion without a series of hearty hugs wouldn’t be as pleasant a thought at all.
While the spirit of Eid ul Azha lies in reflecting upon our sacrifices, what we are often inclined to forget is that the occasion also marks the tenderness of human relationships, the love we share with one another and the bond that is strengthened with every breath, every moment, and every embrace.
This Eid, the Generation woman builds upon the splendour of a simple hug, the genuine emotion it incites between her, her beloved and the rest of us, the onlookers. Let’s take a closer look with these women who are manifestation of the Generation spirit, candidly captured in their ‘Guldastah’ moments by the sensitive lens of Seemab Saqib subtly outlining the intricacies of the beautiful relationships we all share.
Abu.
the nerves were on a full high for Alina’s doting father, not only his first ever fashion shoot but also the first shot of the day, sporting an endearingly shy smile he stepped up into the frame, next to his daughter; a complete natural in front of the camera, as she was posing away like anybody’s business. The gleam of pride in his eyes upon seeing her confidence, beauty and enigma really pulled at our heartstrings and that was exactly what Seemab was able to capture in a sensitive series of photos with an enamouring father daughter duo engaged in a subtle parental embrace.
Alina wears a hand embroidered Pathani suit from the ‘Bandhini’ collection by the cottage line. Traditional bandhini patterns are recreated on a fine cotton base, embellished with the forgotten hand stitches found in Gujarati wall hangings. The collection boasts of fresh and cheerful designs that truly reflect upon the spirit of a monsoon Eid. Shop her look here or in stores.
Maa.
Perhaps there are only a few comforts in life which deem to be as rewarding as confiding in your mother, The best friend most of us were born with. Aatekah’s bond with her mother came into full display as the duo stepped onto our set, soft smiles, clear eyes and an unmistakable aura of a love that has grown stronger over the years like fine wine. Tasneem, Aatekah’s mom even braved a foot injury to shoot with us, and we salute her camaraderie.

Aulaad.

Behena.
She can be your best friend and your mortal enemy in the same exact moment. That is the beauty of having a sister. You may turn out to be poles apart yet there isn’t a soul you could relate to more than her. She is your rock, a companion through thick and thin and while the struggle is real sharing your wardrobe and dealing with the unpredictable antics every day, you wouldn’t have it any other way. Rameesha and her twin sister Alisha recreate the same mischievous camaraderie for the camera that won our hearts in the first place.

Bhai.
Having a brother is great fun, but to be the only sister of two? That rollercoaster ride of growing up is an experience on its own. While on one hand you’re constantly at the risk of getting ganged up on, your dolls replaced with footballs and all things pretty mysteriously vanishing, the flip side of the story is being hailed the princess of the house, being spoilt to no end and being the undisputed apple of the entire family’s eye. Not to mention getting a room all to yourself while the brothers are made to share! Naima and her brothers have nothing but nice things to say about each other to us, but we wonder if things are also as serene behind the scenes as well!
Naima wears the Koti and Anarkali set from the ‘Vineyard’ collection a namesake to its inspiration; festive jacquards in patterns inspired by grapevines embellished with gold dori embroidery. She pairs it with a deep blue shalwar from the ‘Gota Doria’ collection embellished with Rajhastani Gota work.
