Paris, France – Merging two cultures for her Spring/Summer 2018 collection is the Tehran-born designer Nobieh Talaei. However based in Berlin, she fuses the most modern textiles with the natural, traditional Iranian textiles in her storytelling of modern nomads and caravans. In the process she has incorporated 18,000 Swarovski crystals into this nomadic collection with a nod to Persian bridal processions.
“The fit between the two cultures happen naturally”, said Nobieh Talaei in a pre-show interview. “It’s not planned or premeditated. My work is the natural marriage of both European and Iranian cultures… Women travel regularly these days, and they pick up a little hints of local culture from each place they visit. Through this collection, I would like for them to realize they too are nomads in a way.”
Handwoven paisleys are juxtaposed on to soft, delicate, intimate looks complimented with Givehs – Iranian flat slippers. While the ensembles are based off of traditional Persian bridal styles, they put a spin on the would-be trousseau. This gives them a modern updated reflection.
Nobi Talai ‘s geometric patterns go 3D with superbly refined knife pleats showcased in trouser and soft wrap dresses. Leathers are so softly folded that they are at first not so easily detected. Delicate ranges of silk crepe de chine, organza, tulle, satin and fine cottons comprise the makeup of the collection. Beige, navy, black and white are also used to execute tropical wool creations in a perforated circular pattern. A white washed venue allowed the colors of the collection to come to life.
