I love the mesmerizing blend of East with West. A touch of ethnic charm on a Western silhouette is boho-glam redefined, and Naeem Khan’s latest collection has me spellbound.

Naeem Khan’s Resort 16 collection takes inspiration from Jordan, Japan and India.

Artisanal Ottoman prints, intricate Japanese embroideries, and the reflective glimmer of Indian mirror work adorns everything from ball gowns to breezy sundresses and kaftans.

Here is a rundown of some of my favorite pieces from the collection:

Kaftan Queen

If you were under the impression that kaftans are reserved for casual lounge wear, the Naeem Khan Resort 16 collection will change your perceptions for good. The collection includes a number of stunning kaftans featuring detailed embroidery and eye-catching color combinations. Wearing one of these, expect to be crowned the ‘Kaftan Queen’ 🙂 Perfect for summer, the modesty of the kaftan also makes it ideal for the holy month of Ramadan.

Short & Sweet

Take the hemline up a few notches, add tribal prints, heavy embroidery, and glimmers of mirror work. These beauties from the Naeem Khan Resort 16 collection are a glamorized take on the simple sun-dress.

Daringly Hot

Add drama to the night. Be a show-stopper with these bedazzled pieces from the Naeem Khan Resort 16 collection.

Ethnic Gowns

Intricate cultural motifs find their way onto feminine gowns. The color combinations are somber and eye-catchingly stunning all at once. Play princess to a mystical land; carry off a work of art on a feminine silhouette.

Belle of the Ball

Straight out of a fairytale, these airy, flowing gowns have been accentuated with intricate embroidery and come in the most flattering of color palettes.

The Naeem Khan Resort 16 collection is available on the Moda Operandi website. Hurry, these pieces won’t last long, and are only available till 9th July 2015.
