JOIN USThe latest collection from ‘Biba’ is designed on the concept of ‘Who’s That Girl?’. It celebrates womanhood and the power of the woman.
The highlights of the collection are ‘Awadhi anarkali’, ‘Nizami Sharara’ and ‘Pastuni Pants’. The use of brocade, embroidery work on rich fabrics like velvet, ‘Benarasis’ and ‘Chanderis’ add to the charm of the outfits.
“This range upholds a strong-minded aesthetic message weaving multiple cultures and genres in a common string. The collection is crafted out of rich fabrics such as soft cottons, modals, velvets, brocades, silks and royal ‘Benarasis’,” explains the spokesperson of ‘Biba’.
The designers have played around with colours and designs to give every garment a definite identity and character.
“The collection subtly balances between warm and cold hues. We have used strong colours like berry tones, bright pink and emerald green. These colours do well in infusing glamour to the traditional silhouettes. Intricate embroidery and distinctive patterns are
the highlight of the collection,” adds the spokesperson.
The brand has a dedicated section for Indo-western wear. Talking about the collection, the spokesperson says, “We understand that consumers eagerly wait to own new styles in their wardrobes. The ethic wear range has evolved over the years and the mix and match category has become popular. This helps customers give a modern twist to traditional styles. People who don’t always like to wear complete ethnic outfits opt for Indo-ethnic looks. For instance, the length of the ‘kurta’ has changed, palazzos, pants, skirts are slowly replacing salwars today.”
The brand has also worked on tweaking the garments for work wear.
“Women have become extremely fashion-conscious and want to look their best all the time. While designing, our designers are updated about the latest trends because modern women want outfits that are subtle yet trendy for their day long activities,” he adds.
