One can best define the style this collection has by saying it exemplifies casual elegance. It features outfits such as “Zard Peplos“, “Lilac Temples”, “Imperial Tunic” and “Coral Cranes” that have evocation of Baroque patterns and Chinoiserie motifs and artwork. Keeping up with her signature style, Aspire also includes “Jahanara” which is unique for its extremely intricate leather and velvet appliqué work and mosaic patterns on the boot cut pants. Another crowd-favorite is “Feroza” that has a silver and gold organza appliqué work that gives it a very tasteful outlook.

Being a premium fashion house, each dress of the collection has been named to reflect its spirit and overall appearance. Versatility is key within the brand values of Sheeba Kapadia, therefore while the outfits such as Emerald Empress, Mandarin Garnet and Gulalai connote the literal meaning of “Izdihar”, Mahzala, Omorose and Zuri Gravel witness the alluring artistry of the collection in its enraptured glory.
LOGO AND INSIGNIA
The logo is meant to embody the brand and the designer’s signature. Peacock – the brand’s insignia – represents the possessor of the most admired human characteristics including dignity, integrity, self-confidence and above all, beauty. It is distinguished from all other birds due to its stunning feathers and eerie calls, which embellishes the brand’s image to be distinct in the fashion industry. The eyes on its feathers epitomize the brand’s vision to gauge its present image against future trend expectations in the light of the traditional past.
