Feathers, lumo colours and an element of comfort … these are just a few of the things you look forward to seeing this season! Umhlanga fashion designer Shalimar Reddy shares some hot new trends.
A successful businesswoman, wife and mother of three, Shalimar’s dream to have tangible works of wearable art was made a reality when she founded Tiamara, which is named after her two girls Tamia and Samara. Influenced by style icons such as Olivia Culpo and Kerry Washington, and inspired by international travel runway trends, Shalimar’s fashion sense, personality and passion come through in her ranges, which are always trendy, sexy and stylish. Passionate about fashion design creating pieces that make women look glamorous and feel confident, Shalimar’s brand speaks to woman of all ages and has become so popular that it is even available on the shelves of YDE outlets countrywide.
SHALIMAR’S SUMMER TRENDS:
· Feathers: We all need a few feathers in our lives … they glam-up any occasion and are incredibly on-trend at the moment.
· Colour: This summer we are looking at bright, bold colours and patterns, and loads of wonderful lumo shades in your wardrobe is a must this season!
· Satin: Satin is very on-trend. The look is whimsical, flirty and feminine
· Matchy-matchy: Matching sets are making an appearance again this season!
· Big and bold: Chunky jewellery is also still trending.
· Back in time: Current trends are leaning towards a very ‘1980s’ vibe.
· Comfort is key: An element of comfort is still very sought after, but we are balancing it with a dash of ‘glam’ and class now. A great way to achieve this look would be to pair a lounge set with heels and a matching handbag (with a pop of colour). Loungewear is almost always made with luxurious fabrications and can easily be worn during the day or night, in or out. Shalimar’s range is incredibly versatile, comfortable and glamorously on-trend!
