Islamabad: Fast fashion, a major contributor to global water pollution, exacerbates these issues, causing 20% of the pollution. To address these concerns, Syed Qazzafi, CEO of Miraal Events, is using impactful art to raise awareness about climate change and the dangers of fast fashion.
New Fashion Campaign: “Sinking into Sustainability”
Following successful sustainable fashion shows in the UK, a flash mob in Islamabad, and climate change documentaries, Syed Qazzafi has launched a powerful new photo shoot. The campaign, titled “Sinking into Sustainability,” visually represents the climate crisis. The photoshoot features a room cluttered with plastic waste and designed to look partially submerged. Models Abeer Asad and Zara Ahmed wear high-fashion, reusable outfits that highlight the urgent need for environmental responsibility. The striking images, captured by Muhammad Husnain Mehmood (MHM), are complemented by Ahmed Shah’s art direction, which creates a stark, gloomy atmosphere. The fashion designer is Ibraheem Rayeen, with hair and makeup by Saleha Mehmood and Fatima Saeed, and coordination by Maryem.
Upcoming Style Fashion Summit in Glasgow
Syed Qazzafi is partnering with Saffron Events UK and Graphics Media to host the Style Fashion Summit in Glasgow in 2024. This influential event will showcase sustainable fashion practices and feature several Pakistani celebrities, designers, and models. The summit will introduce a new fashion line called EcoChic, a Pakistani sustainable fashion brand designed to reduce the industry’s carbon footprint. Glasgow was chosen for the summit as it hosted the United Nations Climate Change Conference COP26.

- Ahmar Aziz, Vice Chairman of the Pakistan Helpline, will sponsor the event and emphasize the need for immediate action against climate change.
- Azra Bano, a dedicated designer, will present her sustainable fashion designs and discuss their impact.
- Najma Panhwar of Green Stitch Clothing will introduce her sustainable clothing line and advocate for controlling fast fashion.
