A Kurta is a versatile top that is a part of everyday wear in the Indian subcontinent. This loose fitting tunic has now weaved its way into popular culture and worn widely with jeans, skirts, leggings etc., to give a spin to boho-chic style. Traditonally worn with a 'churidar' which are tight fitting cotton draw-string pants and a 'dupatta' (scarf) draped around the neck ... partly for decency and mostly for style. ;)

The Nizam collection

“Nizam” – a 11-piece Mughal “Jadau”-style set that is fit for royalty. The Mughals were an imperial group of Persian-influenced Muslims that assumed power over India, and brought their aesthetic ideals and highly skilled craftsmanship to the Indian Subcontinent in the 1500s.
This style of jewelry has been an inspiration in contemporary fashion with the likes of Gaultier and McQueen using it in their shows.

The head pieces in this set have been designed in collaboration with Onyx LeShelle of Maitreya who created the gorgeous hairstyles that fit with these jewels. The hair styles are available at the Maitreya mainstore as well as the Zaara store next to the jewelry vendor.

Details of individual pieces below:

Head jewels:
In 2 styles, an elaborate Head Jewel and a Mughal style 'Jhumar -Tikka' which goes across the side.

Necklaces:
A pearl choker with a central motif. Usually this style is accompanied by a more elaborate necklace, for this there are two options a long and layered and a shorter one thats closer to the neck.

'Nathni' or nose ring using a floral motif in stones and pearls.

{Zaara} new release : Visaka

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Visaka Ghagra
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Indian festival 'Dussera' is around the corner and it seems just right that I do a very traditional garba outfit. I have tried to keep it realistic to how its worn by gypsies in kutch/rajasthan/gujrat, with their natural dyed fabrics, a general mishmash of vibrant color with no effort to coordinate them, but somehow just falling into place.




It includes a wide bandhni dyed skirt, a tie n dye top, glitch pants, a veil and a sash tied across at the waist (to keep it out of the way while dancing :P )

As with most of my new releases : hand drawn

Pink Palace

So now that you have the dress and the jewels in place, all you need is a guy who is willing, and of course a place that'll get you married off Indian style :D
My good friend Perdita Lacey owns the 'Pink palace' , an Indian theme palace providing traditional Hindu, Muslim and Interfaith wedding in SL.
Its something you are not likely to do in real life so its a great chance to experience a different culture, irrespective of your background.

IM Perdita Lacey/ samaira Robbiani for a quick insight into this rich culture and a round of the palace.
