We have found the perfect way to welcome Spring in style! Nazli Akbar’s new Pre-Spring’16 luxury prêt collection will make the lady-like ‘girl next door’ in you swoon. Known for her delicate fabric play of charming embossed cotton nets, lace, and organzas and love affair with soft pearl and swarovski accents on pastels this Spring Summer Collection is one to watch out for. Modeled by the newest members of the Nazli Abar Team; Sabina Rahim and Shani Khan styled with lovely soft braids and makeup by Shamain Salon, create a fun filled photo shoot of Nazli’s matching separates of kurtas and trousers in alluring signature pastel hues of pretty pinks, lime green, dreamy lilacs, peachy pinks and ivory whites. Our favorite dove grey also makes the color cut in this collection and extends to the popular emerald green staying true to Nazli’s jewel toned color palette.
Versatile to wear for lunches during the day and for an evening night out the series breathes Nazli’s signature elegance. Not playing favorites but do we have our eyes sealed on the bright mint green kurta adorned with heavy white lace with matching knee high grazing trousers. The impeccable pleated threaded lace work on the trousers delivered with graceful simplicity is a significant iconic mark of her work. From inception to creation each Nazli Akbar piece involves meticulous detailing to a process that takes up to seven days. The painstaking process is a labor of love involving various stages of material layering, pleated lace detailing and finally authentic Swarovski, resham and beaded handwork. Here’s your first look at the latest series arriving at the studio!
