I've been covering a lot of international fashion shows lately, and I have lots more to come, but for a change, here are some photos from the catwalk of a wedding exhibition which took place in Coventry last month.
Here's the collection by Midlands-based asian fashion rental company Rent a Lengha. I previously posted a poll on asian fashion blog, asking readers "would you hire a an asian outfit rather than buying?" and at the time of writing this, the poll results stand at 62% saying no, and 37% saying yes - so there's definitely a market for hiring!
This bridal is by Karma
Bridal by Maria B
In addition to bridalwear, they also had some formal outfits on the catwalk:
This black and gold trouser suit is by Sonia Azhar
The purple outfit below is by Zahra Ahmad
I must say I prefer the formal/semi formal outfits to the bridal range they have available. All the bridals seem to be a bit outdated, like the Maria B outfit for example, I tried this very same bridal on back in 2008 when I was doing research for my review of Imani Studio.
Then again, not everyone is as fashion conscious as I am, and perhaps the chance to wear a beautiful designer outfit for your big day, even if it's not from the most recent season is a dream come true for some people. I'd be interested to know if anyone has used this company - leave a comment and share your thoughts!
You can find out more information on Rent a Lengha from the Rent a Lengha facebook page.
A big thanks to ASN Photography for these photos.
I like the idea but the website does not work?? where was this fashion show? Has anyone ordered from www.hireasari.co.uk they have re done their website, looks good, much better collection.
ReplyDeleteI used this company very recently, purchased an amazing Lengha for my wedding. What I liked about dealing with this company is that they were extremely helpful and were happy to negotiate to fit within my budget, which helped as I was extremely stressed with my wedding at the time. I did try hire a sari but they are an online boutique and you can't look at, feel or try on any outfits, and they had a limited range of saris and dresses, as compared to rent a Lengha. This company have designer dresses which are very expensive to purchase so to be able to rent these is brill. The blue Maria b one you mentioned is actually £2700 to purchase from imani, I checked as they still stock this as it's a best seller.
