Dastarkhwan-e-LMM
The food area for LMM is always a fan favourite! Offering everything from burgers to karak chai to bun kebabs, this is the best place to fuel up for the rest of the showcase!

LMM merch booth

Up for grabs will be these truly unique items:
Almari k Shirakatdar (شراکت دار)
If you need some sartorial advice your way, we have some right here for you!
Featuring performances by the evergreen Naseebo Lal amongst many others, perhaps look to our very own No Nonsense Nighat for some inspo – go all Desi and tie up those chunky jogger shoelaces to gear up for the event.
You can always grab some statement pieces and pair them with some neutrals and an experimental hairdo to give off an ‘edgy look’.
If you’re all about the panel discussions and want a no fuss look, we suggest the best of both worlds. Yes, fusion is the way to go. Simply pair your favourite kurti with a pair of ripped jeans and Kohl rimmed eyes – complete with layers of traditional jewels and you’re all set. View our products on www.generation.com.pk and to get that look visit our stores.
