Inspired by the glamour and baroque style of the 1920’s combined with the bohemian look of the 70’s, Raat ki Rani celebrates the spirit of a playful femme fatale. The joie de vivre of the jazz age mingles with the vibe of the disco era in a vibrant, energetic collection that reflects the flirtier side of the ‘Nikasha’ woman’s persona in her forthcoming show at WIFW AW13.

True to her signature aesthetic, the collection explores Nikasha’s core work and goes further in-depth in the woman she likes to portray – experimental, empowered and sensual. Her rooted desi-ness is injected with a dose of glamour in its shapes where the embellishments are bolder and the mood is stronger, in distinctive styles like sharara jumpsuits, choli-tanks, dhoti-skirts, mini-kurtas, sadri-waistcoats and kanjari-vests – modern interpretations of traditional and historic costumes.
