WLCI Fashion students have participated in Niki Mahajan- Fashion show at Hotel Le meridian on 14th Sep 2013. Bringing the grandeur, glamour and the craftsmanship from the land of the Nawabs, ace designer Niki Mahajan showcased her new couture collection as she marked her return to the Couture ramp. The five segments of this collection which the show was divided into, namely- Ecru-Birth, Jewel-Adolescence, Vermilion-Wedding, Vintage-Exile, Noir-Death, each took inspiration from a different phase of the life of Begum HazratMahal and intricately brought out the finer aspects of her life and journey.
Niki takes her inspiration from a Woman who stood her ground when all else fled.
Her collection emphasised the fine art of Badla and Mukaish and was also inspired by the Begum’s personality. In the starting of the show she used white, ivory and pastel blues to depict Hazrat’s childhood and innocence. The latter half had a more sombre mood that depicted the phase of her life when she rebelled and then was exiled. In the end she uses a lot black which also highlights the fine Badla work, the essence of her collection. Through this collection she has reinvented the art of Badla and is hoping the show will help in reviving and promoting this age old craft from Lucknow.
Neha Dhupia showcased designer Niki Mahajan’s creation on the ramp. Walking the runway in a maroon velvet long coat with exquisite Badla work is the very stylish yet elegant actress, Neha Dhupia, who looked nothing but stunning androyal.
