Kavita Thulasidas, the creative and Managing Director of Stylemart Singapore, who wowed Colombo with her stunning creations at her unforgettable show Threads of Time, will be back with her breathtaking outfits at the Lady Hilton Tea which will be held on 13 February at the Lab, Hilton Colombo.
Kavita and her Sri Lankan partner Anita Dorai who incidentally is also from Singapore are looking forward to working with the Hilton once again.
“Since our fashion extravaganza Threads of Time which was undoubtedly the fashion event of the year, due to COVID, we haven’t had an event in Sri Lanka. However, we now feel that the time is ripe, hence our venture with Lady Hilton, and like us Gigi too and the Hilton team look forward to a truly special and unique evening,” said Anita and Kavita.
“I also have an outlet at One Galle Face Mall which I opened soon after Threads of Time and as Colombo has taken very well to my designs, I felt the time was indeed right to showcase a new collection here in beautiful Sri Lanka,” added Kavita.
Kavita said her outfits have been made for the Colombo market taking into consideration the aesthetics, price points and upcoming occasions for this time of the year. “I have kept the outfits simple and easy to wear. The outfits in this collection are light fabrics and embroideries are balanced and not too over the top with design attention given more to the cuts and styles.
These are designs suitable to wear for an elegant evening out, as well as outfits for weddings and festive occasions.”
Clothes will be priced from Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 100,000, and subsequent to the Lady Hilton show the clothes will be on sale both at the Hilton and thereafter at the Store at One Galle Face Mall. The sale will go on for a period of five days from 14 to 20 February. Kavita also said that she has some designs in production with sizes which could be executed and made to measure.
Kavita will be using Sri Lankan models and once again Brian Kerkoven will be her choreographer with all models being from his model agency. “I like using Sri Lankan models, I have worked in the past with many and there are very good models. We don’t need Indian models here. Our girls are as good and some better.”
A total of 60 outfits will be showcased and Colombo’s fashion elite are indeed in for a treat!
