Adnan Ansari, Creative Director for Riwayat said, “We are excited to be bringing this expanded event to the UK. We have our best line up of designers yet along with exhibitors showing Pakistan crafts. As always, I’m proud to be representing Pakistan in London, raising awareness of our country and what we bring to international markets through our tradition and heritage in addition, I am particularly pleased to be including Pakistan’s LGBTQI community in this event.
