Count Down to the Collections: Naeem Khan

Designer Naeem Khan

1) Describe the overall look of your brand?

It is about texture, using new fabrics such our trademark “raffia”. It is about gowns using the best embroideries and masterful bias cut… slinky dresses that caress the body.

2) What is the inspiration for the upcoming collection?

The inspiration is “Halston meets Carolyn Bessette”. I am using the skills learned from when I worked with Halston, who was the master of bias cut. And to reinterpret the minimal Carolyn Bessette 90s look that is coming back so strongly in fashion right now (due also to the success of the Ryan Murphy’s show Love Story on John Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn).

3) Any new silhouettes, fabrics and or treatments?

I worked on a seamless bias cut, new silhouettes in a new mix of satin and organza or satin and tulle. Tulle to show unexpected slashes of skin for the fashionable and modern bride. Like every season I worked on creating a new, lighter raffia, with abstract motif that is truly what our brand is famous for.

4) Are you having a runway show/presentation?

We will show the new collection during market appointment for our buyers.
