Bringing LFW to Karachi for the first time was a defining moment for us.

We brought together some of the biggest names in Pakistan fashion and put their work, creativity and vision at the centre of one powerful showcase. From the designers and their collections to the talent on the runway and the teams working behind the scenes, every part of it came together to celebrate the scale and energy of Pakistani fashion.

Pakistan has always had incredible fashion talent and LFW is about giving that talent the platform it deserves. A bigger stage, a bigger audience and a moment that puts Pakistani fashion where it belongs.

Our first LFW in Karachi was a statement of what we want to build for fashion in Pakistan. And we’re only getting started.

The conversation isn’t about trends. It’s about a city that refuses to fade.

At the GLOBE Pakistan Summit 2026, centred around “Enabling Seamless FinTech & Digital Payments for Cross-Border Commerce,” our CEO, Arif Iqbal, joined industry leaders to explore how technology and digital infrastructure can unlock new opportunities for Pakistani businesses in global markets.
From delivering the keynote to participating in the panel discussion, the conversations highlighted a shared opportunity: building a seamless cross-border commerce ecosystem and creating pathways for Pakistani businesses to reach the world.
We’re especially honoured to see LAAM recognised by Rana Ihsan Afzal, Coordinator to the Prime Minister on Commerce; Faiz Ahmed Chadhar, CEO @tdapofficial ; and Rafia Syed, DG TDAP, as an example of how local technology and e-commerce can strengthen Pakistan’s digital commerce ecosystem and enable new opportunities for exports.
We look forward to working closely with TDAP and the Ministry of Commerce to help take Pakistani products, brands, and talent to customers around the world.

Talking to @arifiq is basically a masterclass in evolution.

Turns out, before he was changing how we shop, he was helping build the very foundations of today’s AI.

No big deal, just casually shaping the tech landscape twice.
