Moda Yalda turns One

One year ago, on this same day I started blogging. Since me and my sister are fashion enthusiasts and we love to play dress up and click each other, she suggested me to start a blog. Since then there is no looking back.

Happy Birthday Moda Yalda.

MODA YALDA TURNS ONE

Moda Yalda turns one today (yayyyyyyy!!). I am so excited. I have always loved dressing up thanks to my mom and Sonia Bua who used to dress me up when I was a toddler and click me all the time. I still can't seem to get over that obsession.
Blogging makes me happy. I try to be different than all the other main stream bloggers. I design and hand-paint most of my clothes. I have a vision and work hard to make that come alive. I design, I paint and make my own clothes. I always believe one should dress in such a way that it makes you unique and if you love something you should not be shy to try it. Style keeps evolving and you tend to get better with time and so have I.

This pictures were clicked by my amazing friend Meghanjali in the narrow lanes and gullies of Majnu ka Tila. Majnu ka Tila is an amazing place for shopping. It isn't as cheap as Sarojini or Janpath but you will find all the latest trends there. The mannequins were straight out of pinterest, trust me.

I wore a black tee and hand-painted henna tattoo midi skirt in nude ( which you can buy here ). I kept the whole look minimalistic. I paired a black leather sling and avaitors with some black flats and I was good to go.

Until next time.

The Empress by Manish Malhotra

Day 5

Grand Finale by MANISH MALHOTRA

| THE EMPRESS STORY |

 A COUTURE SOIRÉE BY MANISH MALHOTRA

A tribute to a self-confident and spirited woman, ‘THE EMPRESS STORY’ weaves in the myriad nuances of femininity and reflects the designer’s passion for reviving bygone Indian craftsmanship. Each outfit in the collection is unique as it spotlights detailing on classic Western silhouettes – marking a first for the label, on the heels of its international store openings.

‘THE EMPRESS STORY’ presents textured fabrics, voluminous gown-like silhouettes that could be worn as lehengas, trails of exquisite silk - lending the woman an air of majesty. The colour palette ranges from metallic silver and antique gold to rich burgundy, old rose pink, pearl grey and coffee brown. Details such as three-dimensional embroidery, mushroom-flower and bird motifs in delicate threadwork bring to life the legacy of exquisite craftsmanship. The elegance of each ensemble was accentuated with a selection of high-jewels by Dedhia Jewellers.

The finale show also shared a glimpse into the Manish Malhotra Men’s Collection – replete with structured jackets, trench coats and waistcoats, in hues of blue and black with a touch of intricate embroidery. Vintage glasses, bow ties and neck ties added a hint of dandy to the collection.  The evening also featured handcrafted shoes for the gentlemen – marking the brand’s first-ever foray into accessories. The Men’s Collection will be available at the brand’s much-awaited standalone men’s boutique in Delhi this winter.

The mise en scène was reminiscent of a luxurious cocktail soirée, in keeping with the ethos of the collection had a global appeal. The showing culminated with the stunning Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan in a flowing skirt paired with an elegant top and embroidered jacket.

Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, Kumarmanglam Birla, Natasha Poonawalla, Sophie Choudhary, Aditi Rao Hydari, Kriti Sanon, Pernia Qureshi, Madhu Nair, Ridhima Sahni, Queenie Singh, Nitasha Nanda, Imran Abbas and Ayan Ali Bangash, to name a few  - graced the front row.
