Aug:- After making a mark in creating designer wear for top notch
heroines in the Punjabi movie industry, Chandigarh based fashion designer
Nimrat Kahlon has come up with her maiden ‘Royal Bridal Collection.’ The
breathtaking ensembles which comprise of seven bridal dresses were unveiled by
famous Punjabi film actress and model Sara Gurpal here.
Dr Nimrat Kahlon is the designer and
owner of Chandigarh’s luxury clothing label ‘Nimrat Kahlon’. While pursuing her
Ph.D on an esoteric topic she gained a thorough knowledge of history of Indian
costumes. This further ignited her to venture into fashion designing which
offered her a platform to utilise her deep understanding of fashion.
The event in which the eclectic and
attractive collection was showcased saw Sara Gurpal dressed in one of the
bridal dresses. Nimrat also showcased the enchanting videos of her
‘Royal Bridal’ collection, which features Sara Gurpal. The bridal collection
has been exotically filmed against a mighty backdrop of a heritage building–Rajvi
palace, Hanumangarh, Rajasthan. Nimrat is the first designer from Punjab who
has used backdrops of Rajputana forts of Rajasthan to showcase her
dresses. She has also used matching jewellery
from Om Jewellers, Patiala, which fit into the theme of the dresses well. Nimrat
said, “The idea is to popularize the rich Punjabi culture and clothes in areas
outside Punjab. This way the rich Rajputana traditions and our vibrant Punjabi
culture both get promoted.”
In the shoot, Sara is depicted in
seven different looks of the beautiful collection in which Nimrat has
experimented with zesty fresh colors by replacing ‘red’s’ which have dominated
the wedding bazaars for years. Unique colors like peach, rose pink, fuchsia,
orchid purple, apricot pink, orange and beige have been used while the
embroideries are totally contemporary. A delicate handcrafting with pearls,
crystals, Swarovski’s and beads complement well with the A-line silhouette of
the outfits reflecting great precision in their conceptualisation.
While addressing the media, Nimrat
said that this is her first bridal series, which includes 7 different designs
and all are lehenga cholis. The designs are unique due to a variety of
exclusive materials used and all are traditional but at the same time very much
modern and light in weight which makes them easy to carry, for the modern
brides.
In fact the low weight of the dresses
is the collection’s USP. The bridal lehenga cholis have been crafted with hours
of labour, using exclusive embroidery techniques that imparted them a
weightless look.
Sara Gurpal said that it’s a
beautiful collection and a great amalgamation of intricate traditional design
and colors. And the base fabric is chosen keeping in mind climatic suitability.
The bridal dresses are not for a one time use, but can be worn again and again.
Sara also spoke on the trend of
Punjabi actresses getting their dresses created exclusively by designers like
Nimrat. Sara said that this is gaining popularity. Earlier actresses did not
have a say in choosing their attires and had to wear what the production
manager told them to. Now they make their decisions and get outfits designed by
specialists. Nimrat has made a huge name for herself in Pollywood in this
field.
It is noteworthy that Nimrat has been
one of the most sought after Pollywood designers credited with developing both
on screen & off screen designer wear for over 15 renowned Punjabi film
actresses like Nimrat Khaira, Sonia Mann, Mandy Takhar, Japji Khaira etc.
Not only actresses, Nimrat has earlier involved women achievers like shooter
Avneet Kaur Sidhu, Varnika Kundu, Mrs India Neetu Prabhakar, Navjot Kaur Lambi
etc also to don her dresses.
