Day 3; Nidhi Yasha

Nidhi Yasha presents The collection titled“The Gypsy’s Wife” inspired by a song by Leonard Cohen. By the same name, is an ode to love and longing. And consequent disclaim of all that holds down a free-spirited gypsy woman.

Nidhi Yasha

Features 

  • From flirty ruffles, fringes and rich tassels over sheer layers, dramatic volumes. Tell-tale surfaces to tribal and nature-inspired prints creating a perfect medley of florals and geometrics true to the bohemian ethos.
  • Delicate laces complement the subtle beadwork giving the East European Bohemian, a rich, nomadic, Indian/Central Asian opulence.
  • Embroidered leather corset belts, motifs taking inspiration from birds, create an interesting dichotomy of confinement and release

Designer’s Take

Nidhi Yasha FDCI X LMF

Nidhi Yasha

“I have tried to tell this story in the brand’s quintessential folkloric language. With all its theatricality using ruffles, and tiers, velvets and silks, leather and lace and vibrant prints with intense beadwork. I’ve used deconstructed pieces and leftover materials from previous collections and used them to create a whole new visual for the urban nomad with a vintage soul, keeping true to the label’s zero waste endeavour and sustainable practises.”
