‘Complete flop show’, Dr Ejaz Waris slams Kashee’s bridal event and ramp walks
Social media commentator Dr Ejaz Waris has sparked discussion after sharply criticizing Kashee’s latest bridal event, questioning its runway presentation, styling and overall direction.
Kashee’s Bridal Festive Exhibition 2026 was being held at Karachi’s Expo Centre on August 27 and 28, with bridal fashion, beauty and other activities planned as part of the event.
In a video review, Waris questioned whether the showcase felt like a professional fashion show or something closer to a television drama. Much of his criticism focused on the way celebrities and influencers appeared on the runway.
One of his most striking comparisons was to the Indian television dramas “Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki” and “Kasautii Zindagii Kay.” Waris used the names to describe what he considered overly dramatic and uncoordinated runway performances.
He also criticized the clothes presented at the event, describing some of the designs as average, glossy and overly loud. In his view, the collection lacked the modern and refined appearance he expected from a major bridal fashion showcase.
Waris questioned whether some of the outfits reflected current wedding fashion trends, arguing that certain looks appeared excessively flashy rather than balanced and elegant.
His strongest criticism, however, was directed at the runway walks. He said several participants appeared uncomfortable and lacked the confidence and poise normally expected from trained models.
Waris described some of the walks as poorly coordinated and questioned why more professional fashion models were not featured in the showcase.
He also criticized the increasing presence of social-media personalities at fashion events. According to Waris, popularity on TikTok or Instagram does not automatically translate into the skills required for professional runway modelling.
He suggested that influencers may be comfortable performing for cameras and short videos but can struggle with posture, stage presence and controlled movement on a fashion runway.
Waris extended his criticism to some established actresses as well, arguing that fame and seniority in the entertainment industry do not necessarily mean someone has professional modelling experience.
The commentator also questioned the event’s choreography and direction. He said the presentation needed stronger planning and suggested that a professional choreographer should be brought in for future shows.
Another part of his criticism focused on the selection of participants. Waris said the event gave him the impression of being influenced heavily by personal and industry connections rather than focusing primarily on professional runway talent.
His comments have also generated discussion online. Some social-media users echoed his concerns about the styling and runway performances, while others continued to debate the overall presentation of the event.
