One piece three ways: Nickienina

While trends fade, style remains eternal and one piece can be put together in many different ways. We ask three fashionistas to put together an outfit using the same item from a designer’s collection, according to their style and taste!



This is a structured, seamless jacket from the SS16 ‘Flechazo’ collection. It is intricately embellished in resham and gota, with accent flowers in various colours. The best part about this piece is that it can easily be dressed up or down. It can be worn as a statement piece to a formal brunch, or on top of a lehnga choli at night for a mehndi.

I always find myself dressing in a casual-chic way, regardless of the occasion or the garment. I love experimenting with statement pieces. For this look, I paired this gorgeous jacket with my boyfriend ripped jeans and an organza top. My favourite recent purchase, caged heels from Mango, completed my look. I wanted something soft yet young for my hair and Maryam Ali of the BloDry Bar gave me just that! I left the makeup entirely on her and she went for dark eyes for a casual day look. I would wear this look to a brunch.

My personal style is classic but contemporary at the same time. For me, less is more. For this look, I paired the jacket with White House Black Market culottes and a white sleeveless top, gold Christian Louboutin pumps and a Jade statement necklace! Maryam Ali of the BloDry Bar gave me shimmery neutral eyes, dewy skin and a pop of colour for my lips. For my hair, she gave me an up-do with a lot of braids, which completed the look I was going for. I would wear this look to a dinner.

My style can best be described as chic and understated for the day and bold and classy for the moonlit hours. The versatility of this jacket undoubtedly makes it a collector’s item — I opted to enhance the boldness by engaging it with a very flowy rose-pink lehnga and a gold, cropped choli, bouncy curls and understated makeup. The colour palette requires no other effort to make it a head-turner. Maryam Ali of the BloDry Bar gave me a dusty-bronze smoky eyes with a sun-kissed, dewy finish and nude lips to complete the look. Big voluminous hair just added to the glamorous look! The look can be equally glamorous for an afternoon or an evening wedding.
