You know that old chestnut about not keeping a good woman down. Ramona Narang Rodella,not even a year into motherhood yet (her twins were born in March this year),and just recovering from her brother Timmys nuptials from last weekend,is all set to try her hand at fashion. Next week sees her launch her first collection at Ensemble (where else?),at their Kemps Corner outlet.
Narang Rodella will launch a resort wear line,a lucrative and opportune India-centric line that finds many takers in the west. Im loving it; Im really excited, she purrs. Its like Im preparing for another wedding.
The collection comprises 20 pieces; most are resort while there are a few cocktail frocks too. Theyre all designed by me; some of the fabric is developed by me too, she says.
A few people who I respect recommended her based on what she was wearing at Nitasha Nandas 40th birthday, says Tina Tahiliani Parikh,proprietor of Ensemble. We were doing the resort promo and we were looking for that one new thing. Ramonas a glamorous girl herself and has made some lovely corset dresses and some dressy kaftans for the day. Shes also been an old client so it made it that much easier.
The resort wear is simple,something you can have fun with and accessorise. You can dress it up or dress it down,depending on where you are going with it, she says,already talking the talk of fashion mavens.
The cocktail dresses are in silk jewel tones,but the lady insists their simplicity can render them classics. You can surely pull these out 10 years later and wear them. In fact,every piece Ive made is like a classic.
While her annual wardrobe expense account might match a small countrys GDP,Narang Rodella promises you wont have to break a bank to shop for her clothes. Everything is priced between Rs 10,000 and Rs 20,000.
