    Generation joins Ali Xeeshan’s campaign to raise breast cancer awareness

    Clothing brand, Generation, has joined designer Ali Xesshan’s campaign, ‘Parday Mein Parwah’, to raise awareness about breast cancer in Pakistan.

    The price of a dupatta is Rs1,998 and is available in stores and online.

    The brand joined hands with the designer Ali Xeeshan and a breast cancer survivor, Asma Nabeel, who is also the face of the campaign. Generation said that all profits from this campaign will be donated to Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre.

    Sharing a picture from the campaign on social media, Generation stated, “We’ve joined hands with @alixeeshantheaterstudio and @asmanabeelan to bring you a one of a kind Dupatta for which we’ll be donating all profits to the @shaukatkhanum.”

    In another Instagram post, the brand wrote, “Approximately 90,000 cases of breast cancer are diagnosed every year in Pakistan! On grounds of modesty, women often hesitate to check themselves that can stop the disease at an early stage. We bring to life a dupatta that reminds and instructs women to check themselves.”

  • Ali Xeeshan launches new campaign to raise awareness on breast cancer

    Staying true to his vision, Ali Xeeshan has launched yet another campaign to talk about the stigma around breast cancer.

    Titled Parday Mein Parwah, the campaign features Asma Nabeel, a breast cancer survivor, who shot for it during her chemotherapy. The dupatta which is the main element of the campaign is embroidered with Nabeel’s words.

    Sharing a picture from the campaign on social media, Nabeel said: “Pakistan has the highest rate of breast cancer in Asia with over 85,000+ cases every year. The disease can be prevented if caught at an early stage except their hesitation to check themselves becomes a barrier. “

    “Ali Xeeshan [has] joined hands with the pink warrior Asma Nabeel to bring you a dupatta that not only reminds you to care for your health but also safeguards your modestly,” reads the caption further.

    Xeeshan also shared a video from the campaign on social media. The video highlights the cultural barrier women face in detecting breast cancer because of the stigma attached to the disease.

    Xeeshan further said that all proceeds from the sale of the dupatta will go to breast cancer victims.

    Earlier, Ali presented his latest collection ‘Numaish,’ which highlighted the issues of dowry at the Hum Bridal Couture Week 2021.

    Congratulations are in order for Ali Xeeshan and wife Myrah who have welcomed a baby boy. The couple announced the joyful news on social media with a picture of themselves with their bundle of joy.

    “Meet Jansher Ali,” wrote the designer on social media. “God has blessed us with a baby boy.”

    Sharing the same picture, Myrah said: “Purest form of love and joy! Shukar Alhumdulillah.”

    Ali and Myrah tied the knot in an intimate affair in November 2019. Earlier this month, Myrah debuted her baby bump at the Hum Bridal Couture Week 2021 as she walked the ramp alongside her husband in a pale yellow outfit.

  • Ali Xeeshan responds to criticism on ‘anti-dowry’ bridal campaign

    Ali Xeeshan’s latest collection ‘Numaish,’ which debuted at the Hum Bridal Couture Week 2021 last week, has created a bit of a storm on social media. The collection, aimed to highlight the burdening culture of dowry in our society, was designed in collaboration with UN Women Pakistan.

    While the campaign was well-intended, the designer received backlash on social media, with people criticising Xeeshan for the cost of his outfits and referring to Ali’s campaign as an act of hypocrisy.

    Responding to the criticism, Xeeshan said: “When I was developing it [the campaign], I was only looking into girls’ struggle but later I realised that dowry pressurises the parents more.”

    “I remember last year a client’s wedding was called off because one of the demands from groom side was to have a gold-plated shaving kit,” shared Xeeshan.

    He continued: “Many people say that you make expensive outfits, then why are you talking about this? These two are very different things – that [designing outfits] is my business and no one is compelled [to buy them].”

    “If you can afford my clothes please be my guests and if you can’t then don’t put yourself under the pressure,” added Xeeshan.

    The designer concluded by saying, “Agar meray say koi poochay keh mere kapray khareeday ya beti ko education de, toh beti ko education day dein. Mein kapray baich loon ga.”

    Fans of the couple are saying that they duo looks like they are leaning towards a more Deepika-Ranveer look rather than keeping it simple like Anuskha-Virat.

    Deepika was wearing heavy, traditional jewelry and Ranveer was no less.
