<p><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Abstract </strong></p> <p>This study explores the integration of art preservation and fashion design, emphasizing architectural history, particularly the Sheikhupura Fort in Punjab, Pakistan. Originally constructed as a royal hunting lodge by Emperor Jahangir in 1607, Sheikhupura The fort represents the ultimate example of Mughal magnificence, which was later embraced by Sikh rulers and then by British officials. The fort demonstrates the evolution of architectural creativity and cultural shifts, ranging from Sikh frescoes and ornamental themes to Mughal miniature paintings and white marble constructions. By utilizing cutting-edge methods including resin art, laser acrylic embellishments, fabric painting, and 3D textile design, the research seeks to preserve these vanishing architectural features by turning them into fashionable clothing. The clothing, which will depict historical narratives and revive cultural heritage in a modern fashion, will draw inspiration from Sikh-era frescoes and Mughal-era hunting clothes. By fusing traditional art forms with contemporary design, the initiative creates wearable stories that increase awareness and appreciation for Pakistan's historical riches and highlights the significance of preserving neglected cultural places. It concludes by offering creative solutions for restoring and conserving historic structures. This approach fosters cultural pride and hereditary continuation while keeping conserving art and architecture through creativity.</p> <p>Key words: Preservation, Art, Fashion</p>Maha Syed [email protected]Abu Baker NooraniAyesha KanwalSadia Mehmood
