Nida delves into the issue of National Integration and unity through the creative lens of fashion.

The colours of ivory, peach & grey are turned into shirt dresses, pleated capris and boleros. Nida uses Indian motifs and gold borders to make intricate boleros and vests thrown casually over tiny bra tops.

Large lose tunics are cinched in at the waist. Chic and drappey pant suits, folded dresses with fluff and ruffle come in the shades of ivory to give the feeling of Indian summer. Off shoulder & one shoulder tops are worn with classy rider pants.

The collection is accessorised with Nida’s signature bags in shocking pink and turmeric yellow. The motifs used are iconic to India with the Indian mode of transport ‘The bicycle’ used to communicate the common man’s ethic. Geometrical shapes and stripes meet on satin to make the most fascinating gowns. Saris are draped over leggings with one leg showing on the side spelling out the new ways of draping the sari. Bare shoulder playsuits are adorned with Bollywood’s op-art. Saris with in-laid sequin work are worn with gujrati cholis with tassels creating an Indian appeal. 2-part saris with one part polka dot, one geometric, lend a sophisticated look to the collection.
