Question

Pakistan is passing through a phase of cultural and social change and this phenomenon is most visible in the urban areas. On the one side, we are witnessing increased religiosity and on the other fashion industry are re-shaping life styles. Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and to lesser degree Faisalabad have hosted several fashion shows. Does this imply that society’s perceptions on modeling and fashion design are changing and there is greater acceptance and tolerance for Western fashion designs? It is a complex and conflicting situation where acceptance and resistance are running in parallel. Flow ever, Vaneeza Ahmed, a popular model, clearly thinks it is changing. Ms. Vaneeza says when she started her career 15 years ago, modeling had little cultural acceptance and “there were bored housewives with nothing to do”. Now, fashion designing and modeling have grown and cultural attitudes towards them have wider acceptance in society. Tariq Amin, stylist and photographer, endorses Vaneeza Ahmed’s observations. He says that some years ago it was difficult to find female models, however, now it’s a popular profession among young and aspiring women and men. While the proponents of fashion design are inspired and in fact flourishing as seen through bill boards and fashion advertisements, the opponents are furious and assert that fashion industry is promoting immorality and vulgarity among the youth. Thus various factors like growth in local and global media, a booming fashion industry, rising number of fashion weeks, all have created a major influence on the mindset of youth. Youth is now more fashion conscious and more consumerist. Their spending patterns, social behavior and lifestyle have been impacted by a raised interest and consciousness of fashion design.

c) What steps should be taken by the Government of Pakistan to control the above situation? Support your suggestions with the proper reasoning.​
