No doubt that Northeast India has some of the most creative talents and yet, the most intriguing part is their originality – so pure and raw – and often tells a story that is deeply linked to their roots, that they are most proud of. This storytelling coupled with unique designs that makes your heart flutter and inspires you enough to wear their creations – or create one of your own – with your own story weaved into them.
These are the things that has a strong presence in this Spring Summer 2018 collection by Lusano Zakiesato, a fashion designer from Nagaland. This petite designer has come a long way since her first collection in 2014. “My latest collection is a modern take on Nagaland inspired details on everyday comfortable casuals for summers” says the designer. Here she showcases her SS18 collection, that brings to life an intricate dream that can only be made in the local heaven of Nagaland.
“I’ve been studying and seeing some amazing traditional inspired designs created by our very own local designers from Nagaland. At the same time, I’ve also noticed that our traditional woven garments and fabrics are rather thick and heavy, which may not be suitable for every season/occasion.
So with this new collection, I wanted to incorporate the beautiful intricacies of these traditional designs – especially the local significant figures (e.g. birds, our local spears, etc) in the form of small detailing and superimpose them on modern contemporary designs – made of summer friendly fabrics – like cotton and organza silk”
