Beam me up

Aneela Haque has launched her new Eid Collection focusing on various moods called "Beam Me Up". It includes morning, afternoon and evening wear in solid red, black, white, blue, turquoise, olive green and brown shades. The materials are mainly cotton and jamdani keeping the hot, humid and damp weather in mind. Each and every piece can be used in multiple ways. For example, the jamdani sari's red trendy blouse can be worn with a skirt or jeans. Even the long jackets used for evening wear with saris are worn with jeans as western attire. So, all the pieces are designed to create a unique wardrobe for various moods.

The collection has a variety of jamdani saris in contrasting colours with tops, graphical print, cotton saris in geometric weave and trendy botua bags. Beaded silver jewellery are there to match the attires. The shalwar kameez collection has a new look with long kameezes and kallidar kameezes from the Mughal era fused with churidar and western capris. Long dupatta is in focus as well. Aneela always carried long ethnic kameezes with trendy western trousers, yet this time she has brought a twist by mixing Mughal trends with modern chic cuts.

Single blouse pieces are there in bright solid colours with Aneela's signature print to give a mode twist to your cotton saris. There is a line of party wear for Eid evenings that includes flared pleated pants with graphical tops and jackets. Same goes for children.

The men's collection is focused on sherwani cut styles in black, red, white, brown, turquoise and green. Loads of long scarves are there to top up with regular shirts and jeans that produce a very trendy look with closed leather shoes.

They also offer three-piece, mix-and-match-unstitched, shalwar kameez sets, with which you can easily make two fatuas if you don't want to make shalwar suits.
