East Meets West?

So what did everyone think of New York Fashion Week for 2013? Did you notice that the shows featured designers whose pieces resembled eastern inspired gowns, with rich eye catching embroidery and lush fabrics from chiffons to silks and tons of lace and tulle. +Dolce & Gabbana, Marchesa, Oscar De La Renta, along with Naeem Khan, all had pieces resembling Pakistani and Indian attire we already have as a part of our eastern wardrobe. What do you think of these Marchesa pieces? Look exactly like Eastern wear right?

I mean at this point what do you do can you look into your closets and pull out that gorgeous Anarkali suit or the latest gown you purchased following Eastern fashion and wear it to a special event? Well that depends. Since the Pakistani and Indian aesthetic can be a bit dramatic it is best to go with outfits that are either simple in print and moderately embellished or printed and minimally embellished. A combination of both is impossible to transition with US contemporary western wear, unless your are off to the +Oscars and your gown needs to be photographed. In reality I'm not really an advocate for all that print and embellishment, you will straight up look "Fresh Off the Boat". I'm a believer that your style should be a product of your environment, your culture, and your personality. I love the dramatic look but pops of it. May it be makeup, hair or your Anarkali dress make sure you make a statement but a classy and chic one, not too dramatic. In real life that just doesn't work! Here is a really cool piece I designed and named the Marchesa Gown, its basically a reverse ombré dip dyed gown with embellishments of real silver motives, pearls and silver stones. A great alternative to this Naeem Khan gown and conservative too!

 Love that eastern inspired fashion is trending these days makes it so much easier to give yourself a unique look and hey it's easy on our pockets because essentially we live two lives!!!
