When I create a garment, several factors come into play, be it incorporating changing trends or being inspired by elements that exist as part of our everyday lives, and they all are equally significant to the process. Bringing forth this maternity collection for glamorous mothers -to- be, for ‘Rosewalk’ at this year’s fashion week has been exciting and truly fulfilling”.

He is also getting a few lady Gynaecologists & Obstetricians to walk the ramp at this one of a kind fashion show to breathe life into his astonishing collection, aiming to inspire young expectant mothers to woo the goddess within. This will eventually lead to the unveiling of the Rosewalk logo at the event.

Hina Khan’s Fashion Eye

By: Ishika Sharma

Ex- Big Boss contestant Hina Khan had earlier been perceived as the
“sanskari’ Akshara, and as part of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, she was
mostly seen in ethnic outfits.

Though Hina’s fashion statement has been versatile, we are probably used to more of her ethnic avatar than her femme fatale western ensembles. At a recent promotional event, Hina was spotted in a lime green sharara suit by Sukriti And Aakriti Official.

The sharara pants had ruffled edges, set off by the gold zari work. The Kurta was plain , with a sprinkling of buttons on the front, was off set by the gold border on the dupatta.

The stripes on the Sharara and the dupatta added an extra layer of glamour to the lightweight suit. Hina opted for a pair of golden statement earrings and a ring to go with her outfit. Hina chose bold red lips and centre-parted hair tied in a ponytail to complement her outfit and gave us #FashionGoals for acing that lightweight ethnic look just right.
