Zubair Kirmani WIFW AW 2014
Two designers were inspired by Kashmir for AW 2014/15: Zubair Kirmani and Mrilnalini. It was great to see how the same inspiration can produce such different results. Zubair’s collection was feminine indulgence and prettiness whereas Mrilnalini had a utilitarian approach.

Zubair’s collection was one of escape and romance and a celebration of traditional Kashmiri embroidery techniques with the work produced in Kashmir itself for added authenticity.
A newer designer, Mrilnalini’s collection was inspired by Kashmir’s former serenity and the collection strived to make a political reference to bandaging old, angry scars but with an aim of hope and spirituality. Military inspired looks gave way to those inspired by Sufism.
