When The Night Falls from Faiza Sheikh on Vimeo.

Here is a tiny fashion week finale video we created of show-stopper Kangna Ranaut and JJ Valaya taking a bow at Wills India Fashion Week 2012 in Delhi. There were performances by belly dancers and crystal ball jugglers and an elaborate ramp staged to resemble the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul! Though the individual artists were great, it was bit of a drag and had no place in a fashion show, me thinks. 

The video is just a trailer to JJ Valaya's 2012 collection, the final bow really. The beginning was in a monochromatic palette of ivories and black and gradually moved into the colour territory in forms such as Mother of pearl inlay, Turkish miniatures and Iznik ceramics.

To view the colorful and bridal part of the collection and the designer's weaves of the Sultan's robes, exotic birds and graphic calligraphy done on his signature Alika jackets, click on this post where contemporary styling meets ethnic design.
