Designer Parishae Adnan’s recent appearance on a television programme has sparked an online debate after much of the discussion focused on her clothing, gym videos and personal choices rather than her achievement at New York Fashion Week.
Parishae appeared on Rise and Shine, hosted by Nadia Khan and Zohaib Hassan on 365 News, following her participation in New York Fashion Week. She presented her collection Second Skin at Flying Solo’s showcase and closed the event with her work.
Her collection focused on sustainability, upcycling and the creative reuse of existing garments. It also highlighted elements of Pakistani craftsmanship and fashion heritage for an international audience.
However, viewers noticed that the interview frequently shifted from Parishae’s fashion work to questions about her appearance, dressing style, gym content and personal boundaries.
Khan questioned Parishae about her clothing choices and referred to aspects of her appearance, while the conversation also touched on her fitness videos and whether her parents were comfortable with the content she shares.
Parishae remained composed throughout the discussion and repeatedly attempted to explain her approach to self-expression. She said people should not be defined by a single aspect of their personality or appearance.
She described clothing, fitness and personal style as different forms of expression and stressed that people are complex and have multiple interests and identities.
Parishae also spoke about her personality, describing herself as rebellious while explaining that she is also deeply religious. She argued that personal boundaries can differ from one individual to another and that art and self-expression are subjective.
The discussion later returned to her gym videos and the criticism she receives online.
When asked whether negative reactions worried her parents, Parishae acknowledged that safety could be a concern but said the positive response from women who follow her fitness journey motivates her.
She explained that messages from girls and women who say they were encouraged to start exercising have made her want to continue sharing her experience.
Parishae also spoke about representation and said she did not have someone similar to look up to when she was younger. She believes sharing her fitness journey can help others see that they can pursue similar goals.
The interview has since generated discussion among viewers, with some questioning the focus on Parishae’s appearance when she had recently achieved international recognition for her fashion work.
