Exhibiting amongst the fine band of designers with be Mina Siddique with her latest ‘Zeenat Aman’ Collection that took Dubai by storm at the recent Boulevard One trunkshow. A true artist in her endeavor Mina Siddique’s fusion of art and fashion to create beautiful one of a kind home décor, accessories and ready to wear pieces have always wowed us. Inspired by the celebrity Zeenat Aman who is now the brand ambassador of the label; Mina Siddique’s Summer collection entitled “Redefining Beauty” brings this inspiration into meaningful expression. The collection captures the looks of a fearless and adventurous woman who is the true epitome of independence and her journey in her decade of film. Mina brings to life each of these images of Zeenat Aman on various mediums of capes, jackets, clutches, kurtas, saris and dresses through a simple expression that entails a rotring pen and canvas. Each creation is born from this simple method of sketching, adding colour and dimension that is rich and dramatic and digitally printing it to perfection as wearable art.
The Redefining beauty collection encompasses our favorite Zeenat Pink Splash clutch that has a black inked sketch of Zeenat Aman digitally printed on a fuschia pink canvas with accents of light green florals on Zeenat Aman’s hair. For the perfect summer accessory, this clutch is a statement piece that amplifies any look. All retro chic the splash of neon green, bright yellows and spring blues infused to create a motif that effortlessly pays tribute to Zeenat Aman’s dum maro dum movie is another winning look from the accessories collection. The ready to wear collection is also one that will pique your interest. The lime green statement sari, peachy pink cape, spring blue georgette silk dress and the high low Asmaahan Jacket are definitely going to be a cult favorite.
Don’t miss out on Mina Siddique’s Summer collection exhibit exclusively in Lahore on March 21st and March 22nd at Shaan-e-Pakistan from 11:00 am to 7:00pm.
