Re: Nilofer Shaid Collection
i guess i'm biased because my wedding dress is coming from Nilofer Shahid! i've just been thoroughly happy with the time she's given me over the phone considering i'm in the US and she's a million miles away and not many designers have been as responsive considering how "big" she is. HSY barely batted his eyelashes at the idea of working with me, and my aunt is very good friends with him! our conversations included the amount of research her staff and herself do on learning about the various moghul periods, her influences and inspiration including Islamic Art, and it's really a matter of personal taste. one of my jhoras is some chantilly lace that's a piece she bought in paris, but even if its from Lahore (which i highly doubt), i'm sure she'll do something to it that i wouldn't have thought.
this collection is overall a bit toooo traditional for me. i'm ready to see more of her modern flair now!
