Re: Bunto Kazmi's Designs
Hey i did read your post so i do know that those designs were old. I was talkin more about the ones somegroovychick posted. And mind you, regal and ethnic is done by Nilofar shahid too and it luks super so its not that i have anything against traditional look. It's just that these dresses posted are very typical and there is nothin different in them and you can get these even from shops such as "Think Pink", "Zardosi", etc...which are not run by professional designers. SO when one sees stuff buy such high standard designers one does look for some unique element which i personally didn't see in her work. But like i said again, i refuse to believe this is all that she is capable of cuz i do know that one can be just lucky and become famous but she is some1 who has maintained her position so there ought to be more to her work.
I am going to try and look up for her work online or even see if i can get a magazine with her latest work. Would luv to share it with every1 here :).
I can see what you are saying...they come across a little typical in the pictures as they did to me initially. However, when you see the workmanship up close, it's completely a different story. The type of stitching and kaam on her heavier bridal pieces is very delicate and particular to the darzi's that work for her...they are very old school.
I had also heard so much about her and refused to believe her skills as a designer of exceptional quality, but there is definitely something more unique to her work and . I guess most designers have a unique look, but her work is truly ethnic if that is what you are looking for. I can understand your point about Nilofer Shahid and that her outfits have a regal and ethnic look allbeit with a contemporary twist. It's just that a lot of Bunto's designs employ very old techniques, which other's can't replicate and may not suit everone's pallette.
I've actually tried looking for her designs on the web but I couldn't find any. If you do find some then please definitely post them... :)
