Oriental fairy tales: how to wear things in an ethnic style
Tatiana Maximova, Cosmopolitan
Today, in the era of globalization and the unlimited domination of the mass market, which makes absolutely similar girls from France and Finland, authentic brands that can tell a story come to the fore. For example, the young Russian brand nahalate.
Daria, the founder of the nahalate brand, was born in Central Asia and literally from childhood absorbed the oriental love of bright colors and relaxed style. The idea of the collection of fashionable robes was suggested by the adras fabric, which has long been a national treasure and part of the culture of Uzbekistan. This is a fabric made of cotton or silk, which is still made by hand using only natural dyes. And as a result, this method guarantees uniqueness to each item from adras, because there cannot be absolutely identical drawings.
Despite its pronounced character, nahalate tunic robes turned out to be incredibly versatile. They instantly turn the familiar summer urban look of a top plus shorts into a fashion statement. And if you put it on a plain sheath dress, you get a romantic image for a date. This year, the brand's designers have added items made of natural silk, and in this version, even the simplest cut of things turns into an evening outfit.
But the most pleasant thing is that in the nahalate tunic, the tension of the urban bustle of the metropolis seems to go away, oriental relaxation and the mood of eternal summer appear.
Made in Russia: East/The West in the work of the young Russian brand nahalate
The trend towards relaxed lingerie style and, in particular, bathrobes continues to excite the minds of the fashion community. The young Russian brand nahalate is forging iron while it's hot and offers bathrobes for beach outings and sets in the style of "city chic" inspired by the rich cultural heritage of Central Asia.
The brand's source of inspiration is traditional Uzbek robes — made of fabric called "adras", they combine oriental flavor and Western practicality.
The experience of the last few years shows that a bathrobe is, oddly enough, a universal thing. It is useful on the beach, on city streets, and even during an evening out — for example, in combination with a laconic slip dress or a sundress in an ethnic style, not to mention its original "home" function. Leather sandals, Cossack boots (an absolute hit of the last couple of seasons), and flat-running mules will become an excellent pair of the product, and the original woven handbag, hat and wide belt will only enhance the effect.
The products of the young Russian brand nahalate, specializing in just such robes "for every day", are not only beautiful and comfortable, but also eco-friendly: they are sewn from a fabric called "adras" (usually a mixture of cotton and silk), which is made by hand from threads pre-colored with natural dyes.
The designer of the brand compares the creation of matter with jazz improvisation, since it is difficult to guess what the final result will be, and promises that each product is unique in its own way. All prints and colors of nahalate robes are made strictly to order according to the author's sketches, so that oriental motifs do not look too deliberate and are adapted to the European style and perception.
The collection includes several models of robes and countless colors: from delicate beige patterns on a white background to rich (and very spectacular!) Fuchsia combined with gray, noble turquoise and energetic colored stripes.
4 Reasons Why You Need a Silk Robe This Summer
A silk robe is not the most obvious thing: you are unlikely to go shopping in order to find yourself a similar new thing. In fact, you should not neglect this wardrobe item, because in summer it can make an excellent company for almost any image. We tell you how best to style it.
How's the dress
The simplest method is to tie the robe tighter at the waist and wear it as a dress. Ultra feminine, but at the same time relaxed and comfortable. It will look great with both sneakers and stiletto sandals. You can also put a linen top under the bottom — and loosen the belt a little so that the beautiful "underside" looks out slightly.
With jeans
, loose jeans look great with a similar top. This is an easy way to make the whole bow a little more elegant: silky, rustling fabric (especially if patterned) beautifully complements the image, helping to look at the already worn denim bottom in a completely new way.
With a combination
If you want to wear seductive slip dresses, as the main fashionistas do, but at the same time you feel uncomfortable in the thinnest attire on your naked body, a bathrobe can come to the rescue. It will give you a feeling of security and hide everything that you would not like to show, but it will not "interrupt" the basis of the image.
To the beach
The robe will be perfectly worn both in the city and outside it: when going on vacation, be sure to take this wardrobe item with you — and wear it on the beach over a bikini with pleasure. And then, without changing clothes, tie it like a dress (returning to the first point) — and go ahead, for a romantic dinner by the sea.
