This year’s Lux Style Awards will mark six full years since the awards first came to be. And for the final bang, LSA 2007 will be hosted in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This was announced last week at a press conference in Karachi attended by the likes of Reema, Nirma, Humayun Saeed, Saqib Malik, Ali Zafar, Shakeel and others related to fashion, music and television. More on the ceremony is that it will take place on July 20 at the Genting Highlands.
It wouldn’t come as a surprise to say here that the LSA hasn’t been an easy ride. In fact, for one of the first entertainment-related award functions to establish themselves in the new media boom, they have certainly come under a lot of scrutiny. And have suffered the most critique.
It’s also no secret that most people within and outside the showbiz industry believe that the awards ceremony is ruled by a lobby. In order to be considered truly transparent, the LSA will have to take drastic measures, especially where their judging policies are concerned

LSA Fashion Nominees 2007!
Date: 2007-06-24
The fashion nominations for the Citigold LUX Style Awards 2007 were announced here on Saturday. The most awaited fashion distinction of the year is finally revealed. The list is not surprising. New talent dominates as is confirmed by the Best Female Model list where the top five are Fayeza Ansari, Mehreen Syed, Neha Ahmed, Sunita Marshal and last year's best model Tooba Siddiqui.
The Male model and Achievement in Fashion Design 10+years list doesn’t seems to be undergone much the same as last year with the usual Abdullah Ejaz and Rizwan Beyg nominations. Umar Sayeed is back in contention as is Emaad Irfani for the best male model category. Best Menswear has a new entrant in the shape of HSY, while the most dynamic, unsurprisingly is the Best Emerging Talent category that includes two models (Annie Ali Khan and Nadia Ali), two designers (Maheen Karim and Ismail Farid) and a photographer duo (Maram Abroo). Hair and Makeup is again very predictable with Nabila, Khawar Riaz, Munazza Rizwan, Sabs and Shahzad Raza vying for the top prize while photographers Ather Shahzad, Rizwan Baig of Deevees, exciting new comers Guddu Shani, Khawar Riaz and Shamyl Khuhro all compete for the Best Fashion Photographer segment.
Fashion is what Citigold LUX Style Awards is all about and because of the heavy emphasis on fashion the event is elevated to the status of a style icon. Sweeping gowns and embellished outfits are the order of the day on this, the most glittering red carpet event in the country. Maintaining a fantastic standard, with designers making collections specially designed for the occasion, the LUX Style Award is expected to make each year’s showbetter than the last. This year too event director Frieha Altaf and Image consultant Nabila are putting together selections and segments that are expected to wow the exclusive audience that will attend the event and the 30 million viewers on air.
The Design categories are some of the most exciting in this line-up. Maheen's Gulabo, Karma Pink, Samyra Rashid, Sonya Battla and Sublime by Sara Shahid are all in contention for the Pret (ready-to-wear) award. The Couture category award will be a toss up between HSY, Karma, Nomi Ansari, Rouge and Saadia Mirza. The Best Retail Brand, CGLSA's nod to the burgeoning retail category, will be decided amongst aggressive young retailers like ABCD, Crossroads, FNK Asia, Generation and Khaadi.
The Citigold LUX Style Awards 2007 for excellence in cinema, fashion, music and television will be held in Malaysia in July and will be on air on the 24th of August with a simultaneous cast on both PTV and Geo TV

Cut4U you are right that the 2006 awards still have not been shown here in the UK. Which is surprising but typical of Pakistani channels not promoting its own showbiz industry.
Any how you can watch the awards on youtube and Lux Style own official website. The full awards are on youtube.
Still would prefer to watch them on TV.
