Naga designer showcases designs at ‘Lakme Fashion Week 2014’

A Naga designer Asa Kazingmei showcased his comeback collection at Lake Fashion Week/Winter Fall Collection on August 20 Palladium Hotel.
Former Mister International India 2012 and “Naga’s first male supermodel” Opang Jamir walked the ramp in Asa’s collection along with 12 other models.
The theme of Asa’s collection is derived from old Naga word “Changvei” which means a defender or protector.Changvei is a shield which Naga warriors used during wars. Made of very thick hide, it is strong enough to with-hold attack of any kind of sharp weapons. Inspired by versatility of Changvei along with its immense toughness, substrates used are thick denim, leathers and rivets. Black is used heavily in this creation which represents my angst against this chaos and my desire to fight back. In silhouettes, upper are more structured and body hugging for both men and women, with detailing of pleats, rivets and piping accentuated with metallic chains, studs, rivets and zippers.
