Photo Diary: Republic at PFDC Sunsilk Fashion Week 2018



In a country like Japan, which has always been neatly tied to its cultural values of integrity and decorum, a new style of sequential art, popularly known as "manga", transcended all social and economic barriers with-in the vicinity of the country and worldwide. It pushed the limits for what was taboo and influenced self acceptance and self expression among the youth. So much so, that every aspect of present day Japanese pop culture, can be traced back to the industrial complex that is Manga.

Hence, Republic by Omar Farooq chose to seek inspiration from this world and the streetstyle scene that it ultimately influenced in the streets of present day Tokyo. Republic Mens Wear aims to push the invisible barriers that limit the self expression of Pakistani men and spark a new movement of self acceptance.
