Nikasha’s ‘romantic’ collection for WIFW
October 5th, 2011 - 6:47 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, Oct 5 (IANS) Designer Nikasha Tawadey, who is styling actress Sonakshi Sinha in her upcoming movie “Rowdy Rathore”, is set to pay tribute to spring - the season of love - through her collection at the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week (WIFW) starting Saturday.
“My collection is called ‘Tumi’. The line draws inspiration from the 1930s era and has modern drapes from Kolkata to establish a connect between yesterday and today. It is a very romantic collection,” Tawadey told IANS.
Her collection will include gowns, short dresses and jump-suits in asymmetrical cuts.
“The garments encompasses frills, ethereal flounces and breezy blouses with delicate archived chintz prints and a whole series of variations that manipulate drapes and volumes in fabrics like khadi silk, silk, chiffon, cotton gauze and mulmul,” she said.
The Mumbai-based designer, who has also styled actors like Freida Pinto, Bipasha Basu and Preity Zinta, says she never targets a particular age-group with her collection.
“Every new collection opens newer dimensions. Hope I push myself with this collection also. It is not all about economy but also about peace of mind,” she said.
