Nina Naustdal is celebrating a strong, sexy silhouette with the hourglass shape as a starting point.
The Nina Naustdal London Fashion Week Couture Collection was brought to the catwalk of Le Peep Boutique, One Hundred & Forty One, Park Lane, on Tuesday 24th February 2015
showcasing her Couture Spring/Summer 2015 collection and RTW Gold and Black Autumn/Winter 2015 collections.
Show-stopping demure-length gowns with elegant embellishment held the VIP audience in its thrall, enriching wardrobes both day and night, running the gamut from barely-there glimmer to sumptuous sparkle, offering up a rich feast for the eyes.
Floor-length gowns injecting eveningwear with a sultry, film-noir glamour, heavily embellished pieces taking on a new aptness for the day, casting off their traditional after-hours associations.
Revitalising kicks of block colour, Nina offers an antidote to winter’s darkest hour with top-to-toe primaries offering an edgy take on statement dressing.
She creates a new dimension to black – fashion’s default colour – thanks to some crafty textural trickery.
Artful detailing added a touch of classical grace, dresses drenched in embroidery, taking the traditional notions of opulence to brilliant extremes.
Equestrian-style jackets heightened with luxe glamour, architectural structuring, doubling the impact with lace-on-lace layering.
This glorious collection offered a wonderful juxtapositioning of colour, bold and painterly with will-ó-the-wisp fabrics in beautifully billowing layers,
taking shimmer into darker territory, lending a dangerous glamour to couture spring/summer and ready-to-wear autumn/winter.
Emphasis shifted to the waist, as a curvaceous, sexy new shape dominated, flashes of acid colour and the most desirable sharp and sour tones.
It doesn’t get more fashion-forward than this…Nina offered a show-stopping celebration of the female form.
Nina Naustdal was born in Oslo and fell in love with fashion and design from an early age when she was inspired by her Grandma’s work as a seamstress. She represented Norway at athletics in Track and Field until the age of 18 before studying fashion design at Esmod.
Having moved to the UK and become a mother to three children, as well as seven Chihuahuas, Nina launched her own eponymous brand in May 2011, opened her first Boutique on Walton Street, and now works by appointment only from her new showroom in Chelsea, SW3.
Nina is passionate about Couture and loves creating dresses that are feminine, special and unique. Her life philosophy is based around the premise that is ‘Normal is Boring’ and that is reflected in her designs as she takes inspiration from precious stones to create collections that feature glamorous cocktail dresses and gowns in fluid, jewel-toned Italian silks glittering with hundreds of individually hand-applied Swarovski crystals as well as hand picked exclusive fabrics sourced from all over the world.
Nina’s new Ready-To-Wear collection includes colourful prints in feminine shapes for everyday wear and her new range of bridal wear is elegant, distinctive and very far from boring!
All Nina’s pieces are made in her London atelier so that she can personally oversee every stage of production and ensure that each piece is finished to the highest quality and that the dresses are perfectly cut to compliment her clients.
