Actress Vaani Kapoor, who walked the
ramp for designer duo Sonam and Paras Modi at the Lakme Fashion Week
(LFW) Winter/ Festive 2017 here, says she always tries to be true to
her personality while dressing up, but never steps out of her house
looking sloppy.
"I don't want to look shabby, sloppy, but I also don't want to overdo
anything. I keep it very simple and I keep it true to what I am really
all about," Vaani, who wore a crimson handcrafted halter blouse teamed
with an intricately embellished lehenga and cape, told IANS here when
asked about her fashion choices.
For the line, the designers drew inspiration from the beautiful
landscapes of Kashmir and used motifs from the region -- the chinar
tree, twines, floral vines and birds.
"The hundreds of chinar trees planted in Naseem Bagh by the Moghuls
symbolize the romance of the royals. Twisted and curled by the vagaries
of time, these trees create a beautiful landscape in autumn with hues
of true red, rust, amber and midnight blue offering a stunning canvas
of myriad moods, which led to the inception of 'Naseem Bagh'," Sonam
Modi said.
Sheers, velvets and silks dominated this collection, with intricate
motifs of chinar leaves and Himalayan bulbul translated onto outfits
with elaborate hand embroidery techniques and bespoke prints. There
were embellished jackets, intricate short kurtas with draped pants as
well as handcrafted lehengas and saris.
For men, the designers presented an interesting line-up of cascade
jackets, jodhpuris and embellished velvet stoles.
