How Kashmir’s Naseem Bagh Inspired These Two Designers for Their Autumn Winter Collection

Last autumn when Paras and Sonam visited Kashmir, on last day after visiting all tourist places some locals recommended them to visit Naseem Bagh area. As they reached Naseem Bagh they felt like they were transported to some other world, world made of hues of yellow and orange all over.

They then and their decided Naseem Bagh to be the theme for their Autumn Winter 17 collections.

The serene Gardens of Naseem Bagh and its autumnal hues, not to mention the elaborate structure of the Chinar Tree, inspired our collection. The Chinar Tree further became the storyline of Naseem Bagh which were developed into printed motifs as implicated naturally celebrating the beauty, that is Kashmir says the couple.

In their first post about the collection  on Instagram, they launched Naseem Bagh collection withtaglinee “Up in the north, away from all the filth, there’s a land of pure where angels descend.”

Naseem Bagh’s Chinar Tree has been subtly amalgamated on our decadent silks in gold embroidery. The intricate craftsmanship speaks of the iridescence of the Dal Lake with its moonlit shadows that falls upon the pristine waters of Kashmir, which became the primary storyline for SVA.

Thread colours are inspired by local flaura & fauna, that are implicated on our Afrozi Sari with the Chinar Tree motifs embroidered in gold. This classic saree adds the right amount of quirkiness via its contrasting colours.
