LAFW Fall 2013: Ash Haute Couture
At her second appearance at Style Fashion Week LA, Ashna A. Kalra of the Mumbai-based Ash Haute Couture line showed a mix of Western and Indian looks when she produced a 23-look runway show, held March 13 at the ornate venue Vibiana in downtown Los Angeles.
For looks that would fit in with traditional Mumbai, Kalra detailed garments with traditional Indian embroidery and beading. For Western silhouettes, Kalra was inspired by the golden age of Hollywood, what with gowns made with a nude-colored fabric and jump suits inspired by the wardrobe of a 1940s playgirl.
Other looks included a cocktail dress with a corset-style back and a long red-carpet dress with an embellished bustier, which received applause from the crowd.
