Adiba Khatun sat close to the catwalk at this year’s ground-breaking Asiana Bridal Show.
This year’s Asiana Bridal Show – the fifteenth in the ongoing annual series – was recently held at the Lancaster London Hotel.
The show has acquired considerable significance in the eyes of thousands of East Londoners, so I didn’t object to travelling up West to report on it – even though I am not looking to get married any time soon!
As my video shows, the sparkles were left, right and centre; and if you left without a twinkle in your eye, you really didn’t attend.
The exhibition featured dresses from a range of designers including Khushboo’s by Chand, Kyles Collection, and RDC London. The event was co-sponsored by the East shopping centre in Green Street – think Burlington Arcade for clothes and accessories of Asian origin.
All the ranges were bridal, as the title suggests, but not necessarily traditional. Instead, many designs strayed from conventional colours and styles.
It all adds up to a fresh approach to Asian bridal wear.
