When the inspiration is the city of Kolkata's Great Eastern Hotel, the collection has got to be unconventional.
The Great Eastern Hotel collection by Nikasha Tawadey for Spring/Summer 2007 recreated the glory of those by gone days when life was leisurely and the pace at ease.
The styles reflected the ambience of the 60s and 70s when fashion was relaxed and languid. Starting with a colour palette of white, pink, lavender, green to khaki, beige, ivory and grey for jerseys, georgettes, satin, chintz and brocades Nikasha had a touch of kalamari and the end result was trousers, wrap skirts, jump suits, pencil skirts, sexy blouses and tunics.
Detailing matched the mood of the inspiration as pleating, pin tucks, floral prints; paisleys were interspersed with the dual fabric selections.
The opening white broderie anglaise collection had pretty dresses with mirror and sequins work; while waist coats in the same fabric were teamed with pencil skirts.
Prints were on mull as crushed skirts, tunics and peasant tops recreated the nostalgic past.
Jersey dresses were combined with printed georgette detailing; while a black satin printed top with smock detailing worn with a printed skirt glittered with sequin detailing.
For lovers of the days of wine and roses and the nostalgic past, Nikasha Tawadey's collection will revive those wonderful memories in a fashionable stylish way.
