Soltee by Sulakshana Monga at Asian Bride Live Birmingham

One of the standout collections for me at the Asian Bride Live show in Birmingham earlier this month, was from Soltee by Sulakshana Monga.

I wrote about their store launch on Asian Fashion Blog and it was great to see more of their outfits for myself!

They kicked off the catwalk show with this floral patterned dress with sheer panels in the skirt:

Asian Bride Live Birmingham 2014 - First Look

The ICC in Birmingham hosted the Asian Bride Live show today and I was lucky enough to be invited by the Asian Bride Magazine team to attend. I had a front-row seat for the catwalk and took over 400 photos!

I'll be posting a full write up all of the outfits I saw at the show, but in the meantime, here's a first look at some of my favourite outfits from each designer.

Bibi London

Bibi London showcased their collection of named designer outfits including Shyamal and Bhumika. I loved these two floor-length anarkali-style dresses.

Asian fashion trend: peplum style lehngas and dresses

There was a time when peplum shaped tops and dresses could be found in almost every high street shop in the UK, but recently I'm starting to notice this shape being used a bit more in asian outfits. Here are some of the outfits I've found which work this trend!

For anyone that's unsure of what makes the peplum shape, the definition of a peplum is "A short overskirt or ruffle attached at the waistline of a jacket, blouse, or dress".
