The Bombay Babylon at Central Saint Martins

This was the fashion collection that delivered my 2:1 BA (Hons) Fashion Marketing Degree from the prestigious Central Saint Martins. 

Till date, it has been my biggest achievement and something I am immensely proud of.

About the collection:

A womenswear capsule collection of dresses, tops, skirts, jackets and coats in multicoloured tweed boucle and cotton silk embellished with sequins and textured trims. 

Also featured custom-made bags, shoes and necklaces. 

The inspiration:

Silhouettes are taken from London's swinging sixties (A-line dresses, babydoll shifts, cut out yokes, mini skirts, round collar jackets) and are brought to life with the kaleidoscopic textures and colours of Bombay's markets.

It is riotous, kitsch and colourful with unexpected flashes of sequins, pinwheel inspired pleats, hand-crafted bright wooden details and even embellished dish scourers. 

The Art Nouveau revival of the Sixties are beautifully fused in with Indian motifs and make an appearance in the designs on the bags and shoes.
