The House of Kamiar Rokni brings “The Orientalist” to Ensemble's trunk show in Karachi!

[Lahore: 21st October 2013] The House of Kamiar Rokni are bringing their critically acclaimed bridal collection, recently showcased at the prestigious PFDC L’Oreal Paris Bridal Week, to Ensemble at an exclusive trunk show on October 24th 2013.

Titled ‘The Orientalist’ and as the name suggests, the collection is inspired by the glory and fascination that captivated the West when they first encountered the exotic East. As its core design ethos, The Orientalist captures art, culture and imagination with each creation a celebration of the merging and blending of creative art and heritage from around the world.

Hot off the ramp, each Orientalist creation draws from traditional, regional and global embellishments and silhouettes bringing them together to form a bridal signature from The House of Kamiar Rokni. Expect cuts that vary in length, volume and diversity, fabrics that are sheer with diaphanous textures that compliment otherwise bold forms, silhouettes that integrate layering with variations in the sleeve and structured jackets, all of which work together to reinvent the classic bride for the modern era. The collection celebrates fabrics created from regionally indigenous textiles and to that end is based in a selection of hand-woven silks, organzas, jamavars, chiffons and nets, in an eclectic mix of vibrant colours for which The House of Kamiar Rokni has come to be renown.

Speaking about their collection design trio at The House of Kamiar Rokni, Tia Noon, Rehan Bashir said Kamiar Rokni said: “The Orientalist is a manifestation and interpretation both of our shared seraiki heritage and diverse backgrounds. Tia's unique mix of Punjabi, Tajik, English and Memon traditions present themselves in this collection, while Kamiar's warrior Rajput and rich Persian heritage blends delicately with Rehan's Kashmiri influences to introduce a collection that exults in intricate craftsmanship, detail, colour and an aesthetic that is both uncompromising in its classicism and unwavering in its quality."
