Daily Obsession: Pakistan Fashion Week

Despite mounting military tensions and threats from the Taliban, the brave fashionistas of Karachi soldiered on with their plans for Pakistan Fashion Week. Shows started Wednesday, and so far dozens of designers have debuted risque Spring collections full of color and bare bellies. The event was scheduled to take place in October, but constant violence in the region forced organizers to push back the date and cancel invitations to foreign buyers and press. But tough times call for tough designers, like Sonya Battla, whose line was first to show last week. She explained to the Telegraph: "I'm a very brave woman, I'm not going to be scared and no one's going to judge me." Work, Sister!
