I really meant to put this up sooner -- but I've just been swamped with work, and school, and have been partially sick.
Last weekend, I got to attend a very special Indian fashion show/Gala dinner-- Bollywood Cutting Edge -- organized by a family friend, all in the name of charity. The aim of the whole event was to raise funds for The Tanglin-Cairnhill Constituency Citizens' Consultative (CCC) Community Development and Welfare Fund. (Yes that was a mouthful).
Designers were flown in specially from India and Pakistan and the collection they displayed was amazing. On the line up were pieces by Maheen Khan, CUE by Rohit Gandhi & Rahul Khanna and Rina Dhaka.
I've always had a thing for Indian fashion (during my Sec 4 prom, I was hunting furiously for an indian-western getup (something just like this!) but I was not too resourceful back then and ended up buying something from Daniel Yam instead) but the collection by Kavita Bhartia totally blew me away.
I especially liked her pieces because they were a mixture of Indian-meet-Western and as Nada says "something cultural yet modern at the same time". Also, she plays with colours and beads very well, creating a look that fuses tribal chic with royal opulence.
The young ones...
The adults...
The dress from Kavita Bhartia!
The best things about it is that it fits both Mum and I!
(most photos taken from Nat Bala / Mae Yen because their photo taking skills + camera are much better than mine!)
[side note: The objective of the Tanglin-Cairnhill CCC Community Development and Welfare Fund is for charitable purposes, specifically to provide relief for the poor and needy, advancement of education, welfare and programmes for the promotion of social cohesion and any other charitable purposes which help and benefit the community. If anyone is interested in purchasing the clothes for Charity or making any donations, please let me know and I'll get you in touch with the organizers.]
