Naeem Kahn S/S 2010 RTW

It was all about the hair for me when viewing photos from Naeem Kahn's spring 2010 ready-to wear collection. I typically wear my braid-outs and curly roller sets with a center part. Just last week, I was inspired by a photo of Kim Kardashian and began to braid the front 2 sections. It was similar to the braids the stylists did for Naeem Kahn except I pull the two braids back and keep them secured with a clip or hair tie. I wore it like this most of the week and you wouldn't believe the love I got. I'll have to post that Kim Kardashian style that inspired me later, but women of all races and ages were coming up to me saying how much they loved my hair and especially the braided part. Ah! I loved it too. I really think you should try it. I'm experimenting with lots of braid styles this spring. Not typical braids, but softer and looser braid styles. I will keep you posted on that and post photos, but for now here are my favorite looks from Naeem Kahn S/S 2010 RTW Collection. They can also be viewed at NaeemKhan.com.



Brand overview from NaeemKhan.com:

Many of the world’s most stylish women are devotees to a new name in fashion: Naeem Khan. Committed to adorning elegant women in clothes befitting their refinement, his glittering fan base of starlets and socialites includes Beyonce, Eva Longoria, Debra Messing, Carrie Underwood, Kim Cattrall and Queen Noor of Jordan, and his designs have graced the silver screen in fashion film classics like Dreamgirls and Sex and the City.

His luxurious collection consists of impeccably cut dresses, sophisticated gowns and chic cashmere separates – all embroidered by hand. Khan was born in India and grew up surrounded by design. He cultivated his vast knowledge of textiles under the watchful eyes of his grandfather and father, both well known in India for designing intricate clothing worn by the royal families. As a child, he was mesmerized by the handwork produced in their workshops, and always knew he wanted to be part of their intensely visual culture. As a teenager, Khan moved to the United States and apprenticed for Halston, where he absorbed the ethos of modern restraint, and the secrets of draping and cutting fabric to create a clean, elegant, timeless silhouette. Between the equally opulent but aesthetically opposite worlds of his father and Halston, Khan’s style was nurtured and his aesthetic was born.

He launched his eponymous collection, Naeem Khan, in 2003 and began selling at Bergdorf Goodman, Harrods, Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue. Since then the collection has grown to be sold at more than 100 specialty stores across the world. His presentations are among the most anticipated events of New York fashion week.
