🇵🇰✨ Sindhi Ajrak Steals the Spotlight at First Pakistan–China Fashion Show on the Great Wall of China

Beijing (Roshan Sindh News) — A historic chapter in Pakistan–China friendship was written high atop the Great Wall of China this week, as the two nations came together for the first-ever Pakistan–China Fashion Show at the iconic Badaling section.
The event beautifully blended art, culture, and diplomacy — with Sindhi Ajrak emerging as the symbol of Pakistan’s timeless identity and craftsmanship.

🧵 Ajrak: The Soul of Sindh Shines Globally

As Pakistani models graced the ancient stones of the Great Wall, wrapped in Sindhi Ajrak-inspired ensembles, the audience was captivated.
The traditional red, black, and white block-printed patterns of Ajrak, reimagined through modern tailoring and fabrics, showcased Pakistan’s rich heritage in a global light.

Ajrak — a centuries-old craft of Sindh symbolizing hospitality, pride, and peace — was presented not just as a garment, but as an emblem of Pakistan’s living culture.

👗 Designers and Collections

The show featured leading Pakistani designers Maheen Khan, Ayesha Tariq, Moazzam Abbasi, Rizwanullah, and Zain Hashmi, whose collections merged heritage with innovation.
Jewelry designer Aqeel Chaudhary stunned the audience with handcrafted pieces inspired by Pakistani gemstones and traditional Sindhi motifs.
Renowned Chinese designer Liang Suyun also showcased her latest collection, symbolizing the creative harmony between both nations.

🎙️ Ambassador’s Message

Speaking at the event, Pakistan’s Ambassador to China, Khalil Hashmi, hailed the show as a milestone in cultural diplomacy:

“This event is not merely a fashion showcase; it’s a celebration of the enduring friendship between Pakistan and China, and a bridge toward new creative and commercial partnerships.”

He added that the Great Wall — once a cornerstone of the ancient Silk Road — now serves as a backdrop for a new era of cultural and fashion exchange.

🇨🇳 Chinese Leadership Applauds Pakistan’s Cultural Depth

Long Yuxiang, Chairman of the China International Cultural Communication Center (CICCC), praised the event, calling it a “vivid example of cultural harmony.”

“Pakistan’s culture is full of color, creativity, and tradition,” he said. “Today, the world witnessed how that beauty transcends borders through fashion.”

🌏 A Global Stage for Pakistani Heritage

This was the first time in history that a foreign nation’s fashion show was held on the Great Wall’s Badaling section — drawing diplomats, fashion industry leaders, and global media attention.
The event was celebrated as an act of ‘Fashion Diplomacy’, highlighting Pakistan’s growing soft power through art and cultural exchange.

🔮 Looking Ahead

The Embassy of Pakistan in Beijing announced that more Pakistan-themed cultural festivals, food expos, and fashion showcases will soon take place across major Chinese cities to deepen people-to-people connections.

🌸 A New Symbol of Friendship

From the intricate motifs of Sindhi Ajrak to the contemporary cuts of Pakistani couture, the event symbolized the creative spirit of a friendship that spans mountains, borders, and now — fashion runways.
Atop the Great Wall, the Ajrak did not just adorn fabric — it draped Pakistan’s soul across the world stage.
