The story
Lawn is a fine, light cotton printed with bold designs, made for Pakistan’s hot summers. It is sold as a three-piece suit: fabric for the shirt, a dupatta scarf, and trousers.
Every spring, Pakistani fashion brands launch new lawn collections with huge campaigns, and the best designs sell out within days.
