Aamna Aqeel is a smart lady. She knows how to keep a collection practical with a sprinkle of pizzazz. Even though many argued that her recent "Black on Fire" collection in FPWAW'14 was nothing over the top I am still sure that each an every piece will find it's way into someone's wardrobe. Aamna understands the retail value of her work and does it well. The collection may not make your eyes pop but has not gone off the fashion track either. I saw a direct, smack in your face simplicity with a hint of fun.

It is not easy to work with monochrome becuase there is a very fine line between getting excited or dozing off in these cases. Aamna's collection, however, was not even close to boring. She assured us that you dont need to pack a punch of kaleidoscopic color to make a collection work.

Mainly comprising of stark black and white, the pieces were accentuated through tiny bursts of color through prints and embroidery. Embroidery was done through various techniques, kora, dabka, naqashi and sequins were the most apparent. The fine workmanship on the multicolored embroidered jacket worn by Hira Tareen was literally making me drool (and many others).

The modern silhouettes were structured, with focused lines. One can clearly see Aamna didnt hold back on experimenting with new cuts and styles this time round with noticeable finishing. The side slits on some tops was a nice touch, there was a sense of breeziness achieved through fabric and fall. Fabric comprised of the winter favorites - velvet and silk.

This collection was classy with an air of sexy.
