From London to Lahore, the kurti rules this summer. Gone are the days of figure-hugging, slinky tops. Short, cool and trendy variations of the age-old subcontinental kurta have swept through every designer’s atelier from the high street to haute couture. Kurtis have been given a new funky twist and treated with glamorous elegance.Lahore’s Saba Hassan of Sub-Culture redefines the classic kurta this season with a simple, sexy and stylish line of kurtis.

In the lightest of voiles and cool summer lawns, the kurtis come in a variety of colours: from soft icy pastels to vibrant striking jewel tones. A hint of sequins add evening sparkle for more sophisticated party glamour. Day or night, Sub-Culture’s new summer kurti line is today’s coolest sartorial option.
