Fashion historian and designer Shilpi Choudhury showcased her creation inspired by Ottoman Turks and tribal denim collection
Saturnalia, a fashion show, was hosted in Bangalore recently by fashion historian and designer, Shilpi Choudhury.
The highlight of the event was the Ottoman Turk and Tribal Denim collection. While the former was inspired by the 14th century Ottoman Turks of Greece and Eastern Europe, the latter was a presentation of the contemporary fashion styles of the north-eastern parts of India.
It included American denim, fur headgear and tribal accessories. Besides, there was an element of Sufism and whirling dervish tradition of Muslim mystics of 1273 AD.
Adding the colours of creativity to the event were the Fez caps with Puskul (tassle), Astrakhan (head-dress), Djamadan (straight waist coat), Tchepkan (jacket), Binich (overcoat) and Entari (robe). The collection was showcased by male and female models from the City.
Shilpi Choudhury is a fashion historian who showcases historical garments through fashion shows. Her shows bring to the audience awareness as well as entertainment.
Through her latest ‘tribal-denim’ collection, she has promoted the weaves of the different tribes of Nagaland namely ‘Aao’, ‘Tanghul’, ‘Lotha’, ‘Sema’ and ‘Angami’; neck accessories like ‘Kongsang’, ‘Alik’, ‘Chanchi’ and ‘Chupamaruk’.
Thus, the Naga tribal ensemble has been blended with denim (which originated in America and was very popular with the mine workers). The result of the Naga tribal ensemble and American denim completely changed the creation giving it a new look, which is her signature statement.
The Ottoman Turk collection is a slice from the Turkish history of 14th century A.D. The Turkish ensemble has influenced the apparel all over Europe and Asia.
The Turkish collection was recreated and revolutionised with Indian accessories. The effect was totally an out-of-the-box creation.
