For this showcase, Sania Maskatiya also announces their collaboration with renowned jeweler Reama Malik of GOLD as the official jewellery partner with Nine West as the collections’ official footwear partner and an exclusive music-mix by Dj Shah Munir.
“Afsaneh” draws inspiration from the grandeur of times bygone and celebrates the sub continents’ rich cultural heritage by combining centuries old embroidery techniques with luxurious fabrics. “Afsaneh” endeavours to stay true to the brands signature aesthetic of presenting a host of separates in both contemporary and traditional silhouettes in contrasting patterns and materials of rich jewel tone velvets, brocades and whimsical nets. The collection consists of intricate thread work techniques of zardozi, aari, and shimmering textures of sequins and beadwork that have been employed to evoke the romance of the East and to present a unique take that aspires to appeal to the modern bride.
