The Spirit of Eid

Generation’s Eid Collection 2019 is focusing on what Eid is about besides the clothes. The Parcel Kahani campaign tries to capture the essence of Eid rituals before social media and IMs took over.

These Eid rituals include mehendichooriyaan, post cards, handwritten notes, personalized gifts from our grandmothers.

This walk down memory lane or Eid festivities of old was the crux of Generation’s Eid Collection 2019 campaign (even Gen Z will get the story).

The attire is adequate for the theme. The Parcel Kahani collection doesn’t stop at Eastern wear, rather it goes the whole nine miles with colors, cuts, and silhouettes.

Post-partition designs with fabrics like chiffon, organza, zarri khadi net, brocade, etc.

Even the embellishments went old school with gotta kinari, and aari. 

There’s even colors that were trending back in our grandmothers’ heyday, subtle sherbet hues like mint green, peach, and millennial pink. Then there were pops of color like maroon, mustard, green, etc.

Generation is known to create clothing for the modern Pakistani woman. With the Eid collection, it tried to personify the ‘No Nonsense Nighat’. A woman that is strong, futuristic, cultured and wears what she wants.

That’s why Generation’s Eid Collection 2019 and Parcel Kahani campaign threw in sneakers under shalwar kameez, and accessories like paranda, naths, mathapattis, and eyes lined with surma (not kajal or coal liner mind you, that’s different).
