The show began with an opulent opening ceremony in Karachi on April 5, hours after Islamist militants killed 46 people in bomb attacks in the northwest. The event featured 52 designers—49 of them from Pakistan and one each from Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and the United Arab Emirates—in a followup to a first event held in Karachi last November.
