Ashima –Leena ‘s at Couture week Day 2

Day Two of couture week Ashima –Leena’s show stated with a musical Note by Sufi singer Zila Khan ………Kesariya balama…………..Ace Designer duo‘s theme of the collection is inspired my music called Raag Ratan. Zila Khan, whose melodious and mesmerizing voice has enthral the audience while bringing alive the soul of this collection. As her rich, soulful music weaves magic on the fabric of silence, the designs emerge magnificent, rare and precious. Crystallizing each sparkling note into matter, these garments are dazzlingly bejewelled, drawing from the same source of heritage and tradition, yet moving on into a more contemporary realm.
Gorgeous actress Sharmila Tagore walked the ramp as a show stopper and enthralled the crowd with their adoring beauty. Replying to the question that why she walked at Ashima –Leena show. She said,” I liked Ashima –Leena and her collection. Her collection is very nice. She also added ,that my favourite colour is Tomato red.
Starting with diaphanous whites and crèmes, set off by glittering accents and beaten gold work, the silhouettes speak of new vintage, the chakdaar jama of the mughals, especially, reinterpreted as contemporary clothing. Sheer and sensuous drapes combined with body jewellery as a part of the garment set the mood for beautiful tones o tourmaline, jade green and cerulean blues. Moving on the collection takes on deeper jewel tones, prominently ruby, emerald and amethyst. The body of the garment becomes more classic, more regal with long jackets, almost skimming the floor worn with very full skirts. The embroideries bring to mind the almost lost art of precious old artisanship, the jewels of erstwhile maharajas making a scintillating style statement as embellishments. The same craftsmanship is echoed in the specially created shoes, modern wedges encrusted with diamante.
