The princess of “Bohemian Luxe” is all set to create ripples with her latest collection The Sailing Bride
Monisha Jaising designs for the young, ambitious and sexy modern woman. Her collections are femininely seductive, with an interesting blend of western and eastern elements.
- Your design ethos is contemporary, modern and all about glamour & style. How does it reflect the spirit of 2015?
My collection reflects contemporary times through a mix of fabrics. A unique synthesis of upholstery fabrics such as tweed, leather mixed with luxe silk jersey, soft chiffon etc together represent the confluence of different locales into one. Distinctive weaving patterns like cable knits, houndstooth and other forms of surface texturing are eye-catching for bridal couture this season.
- The Monisha Jaising bride is not your traditional demure belle, but a girl who oozes confidence and sex appeal.
The MJ woman is sexy, ambitious, modern and carefree. She is someone who has effortless personal style; a woman who would like to wear fuss free, easy and edgy clothing. She does not compromise on luxury.
- Tell us about your couture collection The Sailing Bride.
The Sailing Bride reflects the confluence of different elements and evokes a memorable wedding on a luxury yacht. There are well-detailed masterpieces with complexity of forms and multiple interpretations of elements on fabrics. This collection outlines the criss-cross of cultures around the world via the ocean — the boat, sea foam, fiery pieces of coral reef, starfish and shells, the stark rays of the sun and the texture of sand. These are the various elements reflected in each garment.
- Despite the complexity of thought, your silhouettes are very simple and easy on the eye.
We always want to make it easy and effortless for the bride, we get involved in the details of draping and making sure the garment fits well. The outfit might look easy but we put in a lot of work for it to be so.
