Last Wednesday saw the 5th Bargain Basement Sale by The Fundraisers, a group of civic-minded young women from Lahore. Over 80 designers from Pakistan took part – donating a huge variety of items including wedding wear, semi-formals, cotton tunics, handbags, art and jewellery. A host of happy shoppers got their hands on designer goodies at a fraction of their retail value.

Many of fashion’s top designers donated outfits, including Sana Safinaz, Nilofer Shahid, Shamaeel Ansari and HSY. Highstreet brands like Kayseria and upcoming designers like Ammara Khan also took part. Outfits by Karachi designers such as Misha Lakhani and Menahel Mehreen proved particularly popular with the crowd, particularly as their work is not easily available in Lahore.

Designers Sara Shahid and Kamiar Rokni not only donated outfits, they also helped out the sale which raised money for three different causes. 100% of the proceeds were donated to the Bali Memorial Trust for flood relief work, Pink Ribbon for breast cancer and Rising Stars Foundation (formerly known as Pakistan Rising) for its schools in Swat and Uch Sharif.
