NAHID MERCHANT
The Look: A little bit of Nahid and a little bit of dare. There was plenty of organza and white lace, and some daring new innovations that made one sit up and take notice. Essentially a see-saw between romantic and dreamy, and bold and saucy.
We Liked: A black and grey multi-panelled skirt, and other skirts of the voluminous ilk, that combined colours and textures rather interestingly. Can be worn with just about anything. Appliqué panelled pants in pastel colours, the brocade hot pants, (oh so hot!). A beige and black dress ‘winged’ at the back with an embroidery panel.
Creative Touches: An angavastram-style tie-back top in black silk, with brocade and embroidery squares and oblongs on it made for a breathtaking effect. Wonderful for teaming with a skirt as Nahid did, but could also be worn very effectively with a sari!
The Verdict: Here is an example of a designer who has grown from being tentative into someone with a distinctive style. And found a way to blend her past with her future.
