Parents Reveal Excitement for their Children’s Debut in Pakistan’s Biggest Kids Fashion Show of 2018
Leading kids-wear brand Hopscotch recently unveiled their new winter collection at an exclusive fashion show for kids titled the “Hopscotch Runway”. Despite being generally known as a fashion show, the Hopscotch Runway also comprised of some talented children from the field of music and athletics. In our take on the show, we get exclusive insights from the parents whose kids participated on the show and made an incredible debut. These parents reveal to us what the show meant for them and their children, and the impact it left on the young stars of the show.
Meher Tareen
“My daughter Mahira and I loved everything about the Hopscotch Runway from the theme to the comfortable clothes to the execution of the show. We loved that performances by the kids were incorporated into the experience – making it clear that people should wear the clothes, the clothes shouldn’t be wearing them.”
Sadaf Zarrar
“It was such a joy for me to see Bia walk down the ramp, she looked confident and grown up! For her I think it was just that, like her first assignment or job. She took it so seriously that it actually surprised me sometimes!”
Sanam Taseer
“My child was really excited to do this. And I didn’t even realize how much he would take to it. Since then he’s been displaying a new very grown-up interest in clothes and his appearance”
Zara Mohsin
“My children loved Hopscotch Runway and in fact have been asking when the next one is! They loved interacting with and meeting children from other schools, in fact both my children made new friends.
As a parent I found it to be a wonderful confidence building exercise for them. My son in particular really benefited from the positive feedback.”
Ali Shaan
“It was a great initiative and my daughter feels so good about it whenever someone praises about her performance during the show. It’s a great memory that will stay with her forever.”
Fatima Ali Butt
“We both felt very nice. It was a night to remember as we don’t have such events for kids in Pakistan
Azaan really enjoyed and I can see it has lifted his confidence alot.”
Hira Asim – Mosh Diaries
“We absolutely loved the experience with hopscotch though as far as arrangements are concerned more good can be done.”
Hasan Tariq – Kluchit
“The experience of the Hopscotch Runway was simply awesome. The entire team of Hopscotch did a brilliant job. They made the overall feel of their environment very homely from the selection, rehearsal to the final day of the show. My daughter loves the experience so did we. We look forward to more of such activities from renowned brands like Hopscotch.”
Hopscotch played quite a role in bringing forward these talented children and boosting their self-esteem. The children challenged their stage fears and delivered an exciting debut on the ramp, whether that was focused on fashion, music or athletics – the Hopscotch Runway had it all!
He is the person who started working hard even before your birth to give you a safe space full of warmth and comfort. It is rightfully said that no person in this world would be happy to see you more successful than him except for your father.
A father is the first superhero in a child’s life, the one he\she would always look up to, for love guidance, goals and unlimited demands.
Since most of the major events are being celebrated in a situation of complete lockdown in the country, we have got some sweet and doable ideas to surprise your dads on this Father’s Day.

Pakistan, as we know it, has a well-established reputation of being one of the most charitable nations. Having to face several natural disasters and a debilitating disease-induced economic crisis over the span of a year has greatly fueled our philanthropic efforts.
As we reflect upon the ongoing destruction being caused by the spread of the Coronavirus, our hearts are left shattered while our minds are perplexed.
The heart-rending reality kicks in: even if the virus doesn’t end more lives, hunger caused by unemployment surely will.
Meet Manahil Naveed, a 17-year-old who embarked on a journey to give back to the needy by founding her own charitable organization by the name of Imdaad.
Imdaad is a non-profit organization working against the clock to provide food and hygiene packages to families living beneath the poverty line in Lahore. So far, their team has managed to deliver these packages to more than 50 families in need. As they work solely off donations, the people of Pakistan have generously extended their hands to help Imdaad’s cause.
This is what she has to say:
“Tuning into the news every day and witnessing the number of cases rapidly grow along with the effects of this growth managed to create this undying feeling of sadness within me. Witnessing small businesses shutting down, I couldn’t help but be concerned about how the poverty-struck families of daily wage laborers would manage to find their next meal.”
While many of us want to help the needy during this pandemic, the majority are rightfully afraid to be in close proximity to others.
This is where Team Imdaad steps in. They bridge the gap between the generosity of potential donors and their fear of catching the virus by being around large groups of donees.
Using the best protective gear out there, Imdaad’s team buys and packages ration bags to ultimately be handed to the destitute, all while ensuring that each recipient is truly in need by asking trustworthy sources such as local heads and representatives of other NGOs.
We will end this piece on a little saying Manahil has used as Imdaad’s slogan: “Hamdardi Imaan hai.”
While reading the title, you must be thinking about the acting skills and how these ladies have made their name in the drama and film industry. But no, here we are talking about the fashion game of these actresses that have taken us all by surprise. Perking up their style statement and emerging as few of the finest actresses in terms of being glamorous and presentable, they have absolutely conquered the fashion world.
These are our favorite Divas who have proved that working on oneself is never a selfish thing and this hard work can eventually help you in the long run.
Saboor Aly
Starting from soaps and not so glamorous dramas, we never saw Saboor Aly dressing up as impressively as she does now. Probably, this is the social fashion awareness that some choose to pick and some don’t. And, we have to say that Saboor is doing quite well with her dress sense while earning a huge fan following at a great pace. She is one of those finest actresses who keep us hooked to their gram-game as something cool and happening just pops up out of nowhere anytime and any occasion.
Nausheen Shah
Our fancy-pants; Nausheen Shah has instantly beefed up her fashion game and we cannot stop admiring her taste and style in whatever she wears. She has definitely come a long way. Also known for carrying bold statements just like in a recent awards show, her hairstyle was quite eccentric perfectly aligning with a blingy Hussain Rehar attire.
Sadia Ghaffar
Her vibrant tops, glowing face and quirky pants have got our attention and we, indisputably, give her the award of being the most stylish actress among the lot. This was never the scenario from the day she joined the Entertainment industry so, she came this far and has definitely grown into a woman who keeps herself up-to-date in every trend and fashion.
Iqra Aziz
Our recent favorite bride, Iqra has polished herself over time and we love how effortlessly she carries every outfit in sheer grace and pizzazz. Recently, she has been appointed as the face of Al-Karam and this was all a result of gradual progress and immense effort she has put into building her powerful aura and strong-headed personality that beautifully harmonizes with her chic and classic sense of styling.
Sonya Hussyn
If Sonya had a synonym, it would be the word “grace”. We love her for her impactful persona, the way she dresses up and the way she owns everything she wears with undying confidence. There are very few celebrities who have evolved to be steezy and sassy in a way that they know what they should actually wear. Unlike some who do not even know their body type. Sonya Hussyn proves that style is always within, you can improve with time but class remains constant.
