Adding some traditional pieces to her collection; we got to witness a combination fashion forward design as well as age old techniques we’ll always adore.
Sania Maskatiya
Sania Maskatiya’s boldest bridal collection to date, “DILARA”. The collection was made up of dresses both bride and groom in a dazzling array of colours, both subtle and siren, featuring heavily ornamented luxury fabrics in silhouettes that hearken to the Subcontinent’s Golden Age; blending a mild modernity to the allure of the Orient. Its peshwazes and ghararas, prince coats and sherwanis were brilliantly furnished with an elegance that’s eternal. Her splashes or bright tangerines and pinks were the highlight of the collection; adding a pop of color to every piece.
The House of Kamiar Rokni
“Golestān”, the Garden of Roses, represents a poetry of ideas. Drawing from Kamiar Rokni’s Persian heritage, “Golestān” explored the influence of Iran in Sub Continental design, playing with the diversity within femininity, from the modern to the classic, from softer to bolder expressions. Indeed, Rokni envisions modern couture as layered and multi-faceted, embracing different aspects of our nature. A designer who always catches our attention- his love for tradition definitely show’s in the detailing of his beautiful bridals
