‘Art has no boundaries’; Bollywood actor Sonam Kapoor‘s husband Anand Ahuja recently did a cross-border fashion collaboration for his clothing brand Bhaane. The collection was inspired by the streets of Lahore (Allama Iqbal Town in particular)
What is ‘Bhaane’
Bhaane is a clothing brand that manufactures “contemporary, wearable clothing for men and women that celebrates simplicity and the spirit of individuality”. It has its stores located in New Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore. The brand’s social media recently posted a photo-shoot campaign for its latest collection that featured Pakistani models wearing it clothing on the streets of Allama Iqbal Town.
The post read, “Bhaane found its home in Allama Iqbal town, Lahore as we found sun motifs drawn across the designs of gated homes across the colony. We wonder who the designers of this developing city were, what hope they found in a rising Sun, and where such carvings faded off to. Abeera and Mushahid are out at the dawn of light, looking for the Rising Sun, falling on its symbol wherever they run.”
