Maheka Mirpuri uses former Miss Universe as a princess for her festive collection preview.Designer Maheka Mirpuri, who dreamed like every little girl of one day being a princess, has fulfilled this desire with her new fashion collection called ‘Khwaahish’.
It previews tonight, with Miss Universe Sushmita Sen playing Maheka’s princess on the ramp, in a glittering display of fashion that is at once royal and opulent... but also minimalistic.
Maheka describes her new line as being flowy, with layers and layers of long fabric that provide the users with movement when they walk. “It is pretty and very girlie,” she admitted, “and I have used minimalistic embroidery. The royal touch has been acquired by the use of a lot of olden time stuff, you know, like fabric, texture, style, culture, and silhouette.”
So there are sherwanis in a contemporary look, brocade lehengas westernised with corsets, satin and brocade churidhaars with leather cuffs, that sort of thing. Mehaka has also used chunky precious stones in her garments that, she said, is very couture. “They are the main feature, their sizes, styles and colour all symbolise richness and royalty,” she explained.
And as for Sushmita Sen, yes, she will walk the finale. So make sure you are invited to the preview of ‘Khwaahish’ tonight. “Sushmita has the right form,” said the designer. “When I thought of this theme, I knew she was the perfect person to dress as a princess, and I’ve given her garments a dreamy, flowy and festive look.”
