With the exquisitely crafted Russian ‘jewel’ – the Faberge Egg, as the foremost inspiration behind this stunning collection, Nazia and her team of craftspeople painstakingly revived memories of a Soviet era gone by through the use of the iconic crisscross pattern found in the jewel. The color palate spoke of pretty pastel hues such as mint green, arctic azure, pale peach, subtle pinks and buttery yellow with hints of gold, silver and some gorgeous glitter. Soft chiffons, flowy georgettes and sublime silks breathe life into this ambitious, extravagant and ethereal collection which spelled couture and creativity. Ex-Femina Miss India World, Natasha Suri strutted the ramp for Nazia.
