Power dressing and occasion wear were skilfully merged by designer Naveem Shaikh for her label ‘Aaylixr’..
The colour palette worked perfectly as strong hues of green, blue, red, grey, brown and aubergine were turned into ideal Winter/Festive looks. Bringing together a kaleidoscope of silhouettes, the designer worked with flowing but structured ensembles but kept the look clean and crisp.
Luxe fabrics glittered with sequins, hand crafted floral motifs and some regimental ones inspired by the military look. The ensembles ranged from a basic shift dress with sequinned embellishment at the hem, peplum wrap-over jacket teamed with formal trousers and a metallic waist belt to a violet wrap over knee length dress with motifs placed intelligently.
The effortless translation from a regular long nude dress with a colour blocked two-toned floor length jacket, to a glamorous sundown turquoise, body-hugging gown with sequinned, crisscrossed peek-a-boo bodice and systematic motif placement on the bottom half with a thigh high slit was commendable.
