A former Wokingham designer made her fifth consecutive appearance at last week’s London Fashion Week.
Vaushali Ragunathan, who is now based between Wokingham and Bracknell, enchanted the audience with her newest collection, dubbed Azure Majesty.
She took her inspiration for the designs from the colours of the kingfisher
She said: “Azure with its deep, regal blue, resonates like the vast canvas of the sky. It is the tranquil backdrop In the harmonious symphony of colour and nature.”
Vaishali elevated the collection by working with local artist Hannah Bruce to create a custom design of the kingfisher, and the slow reveal of the different ways this beautiful design was used in all the garments that followed highlighted the artistic nature of the designer herself.”
Known for her dramatic pieces, Vaishali surprised everyone by introducing a long azure jacket with bright orange lining, billowy sleeves and a large stunning embroidery of the kingfisher design at the back.
The actual showstopper was a masterpiece of two exquisitely hand-embroidered kingfishers with stunning details of feathers forming the top and an ombre skirt featuring the contrasting colours of kingfisher orange, cyan and blue, and a colourful hand-embellished waistband producing a startling flash of colour in motion.
“Simplicity with Originality” is the founding principle of her Vz Perfection by Vaishali brand. She offers bespoke bridal, mother of the bride/groom, and special occasion wear.
