Albright college Fashion Department 8 Collections Runway Show NYFW S/S23

NYC is always full of chaos, hustle, and bustle, yet you will always love to come to this robust and romantic city. Attending fashion week is a little stressful and tiring at the end of the day, but it is always an unparalleled experience that words can hardly do justice to. This is my last post on NYFW. Here are the 1st post and 2nd posts. This show was a little unexpected as it did not exactly tell what the designers were going to show. This show features 8 designers, all of whom are students and teachers. As the show unfolded, I was in awe. I loved how an array of design cuts was displayed. I loved this illustrious collection as everyone brought something different to the table.

What I wore...I wore a voluminous, deep brown, embroidered dress with hand embroidery, a belt, and a light camel-colored pump, paired with dark red lips. Behind creating this look is the classic, and so NYC merges into an autumn vibe. I hope you love this look.

It usually occurs a day or two before the wedding day, sometimes even on the same day of the wedding. A tradition where the groom’s family, especially women, visit the bride's family to present the wedding trousseau (Mekhela chadar), jewelry, some makeup, and accessories. In my belief, a tradition that welcomes the bride to her new family with gifts, love, and blessings. On the day of Jurun, Aam Dali godha (A stringed mango leaf) is a tradition and is tied over the door. It is believed that it will ward off all bad energy and bring good luck to the newlyweds. Usually, jurun happens in the morning or before noon. The goom does not accompany the group. Before going to the bride's home, the groom and his family get blessings from the people who gather for the jurun. Another tradition associated with Jurun is filling two small bell metal vases (called l...

My favorite pieces of Assamese Traditional jewelry

My grandmother's thuria, age-old and heirloom jewelry, of course, not part-able A piece of jewelry echoes a region's rich heritage, aesthetics and sensibilities and Assamese jewelry does not differ from that. A piece of jewelry not just enhances the wearer's beauty but identity as well. A land of flamboyant rivers engulfed in exotic flora and fauna, birds, musical instruments Assamese jewelry is highly inspired by that. Sharing a few assamese pieces of jewelry from my personal collection. An Assamese bride's dress up is incomplete without Assamese jewelry. Traditionally Assamese jewelry is purely handmade. The main frame is made out with 24-carat gold and lac is used as a filling material. Stones are studded on the top. The creatively and meticulously studded stone craftsmanship resembles with pomegranate seeds. The color and texture of the stone are opulent and lurid jus...

Naturally abundant Assam, Assamese motifs are also inspired by flowers, trees, birds, and animals. 1. Kinkhap - The most popular adorned motif in the assamese weave, very regal and resplendent. Traditionally Kinghap motifs weave in gold and silver thread but today you can get it in any thread. It is believed that this design arrived in Assam from the Ahom dynasty.
