Namrata Joshipura for fbb - Inspired by Miss India

Hey Girlies,

If you were to make a wish upon a falling star what would it be? In my case, it would be a fresh new wardrobe full of designer outfits! However, with a sky full of pollution hovering over my city, it becomes a rare instance to spot a star. So, the idea of spotting a falling is quite far fetched. Then shall I bury my wish to have a designer wardrobe deep down in my heart? Nope, not when fbb has just come out with a designer collection inspired by the Miss India pageant carrying the label of ace designer Namrata Joshipura. With a vivid colour palette that ranges from warm to cool hues, designs that can be spotted on the fashion week's runway, cuts that compete with best in class designers, you will be spoilt for choice. Namrata Joshipura has taken utmost care to ensure you get that Miss India wali feeling when you slip yourself into her outfits at your nearest fbb store.

To help you get a sneak peek in to what the latest collection of fbb looks like, I have put together these looks. Check them out below:

1. Peplum Panache
The first top that I picked from the Miss India inspired collection by Namrata Joshipura for fbb was this gorgeous red peplum top. The embellishments on the sleeves and the neckline make the top ultra elegant. You would definitely want to save this one for a friend's sangeet or a party night. Pair it with a lehengas skirt like this and you are bound turn heads wherever you go.





2.  Asymmetric Attire
A cut like this with an embroidery like that is only possible when you have an ace designer like Namrata Joshipura on board to design outfits for fbb which you and me can adorn on regular basis. This floral embroidery work top can be styled in any way you want and help you seize the day. Be it for lunch or even on a casual day to work, it will give you that Miss India wali feeling always. 




3.  Midnight Masterpiece
This off shoulder midnight blue top is a perfect match for your dinner night outs. The embellishment work on it is beautifully done and adds to the chic quotient of it. If you wish to go for the same top in a warm hue, then you have orange as the colour option. So, see what your wardrobe lacks and accordingly go for the colour of your choice because a piece like this is a must have.




4. Orange Oomph
If you have been stacking all the nudes and dull colours in your wardrobe then a kurti like this can help add some life to it. On the styling front you don't have to do much with this one, just a pair of white leggings or palazzo is good enough to get you going. Just a reminder, Raksha Bandhan is round the corner and this one can make a great outfit idea.



5. Beige Beauty
This kurti has that signature cut of Namrata Joshipura to it with those sassy sleeves. It is for those who like to keep it toned down but still don't mind a bit of sequin here and there. While my camera fails to capture the exact details, the neckline and the hem both carry embellishment work that make it clear that it not any other kurti you will find around. Seems, something is giving us work wear goals.




6. Black Benefits
This one has to be my most favourite in the entire collection first because it is black. Black can go with anything. Black is never wrong. Black is timeless, classic, elegance, chic, sophisticated and always in trend. The next thing that makes this top my favourite pick is the bow tie it comes with. How adorable can a top get than this, guys? It has sleek minimal detailing of embellishment work on the collar and the sleeves. That's not it. It is a cold shoulder top as well. To just give you an idea of how versatile it is, I paired it with an easy breezy skater skirt and a super elegant net georgette lehenga skirt. Notice, how beautiful it looks even with the lehenga skirt.  







So, this were some of the picks from the latest collection of fbb inspired from Miss India and designed by Namrata Joshipura. I would really recommend you guys to go and check this one out because such collections are a rare chance to up your clothing game with designer outfits. If you worrying about price, stop because each of these are absolutely in your budget. Price range is 999-1499 only. A designer outfit at this price is a steal. So, don't miss it!

Let me know in comments which one stole your heart and will make it to your wardrobe as well.
