Upscale, Contemporary Dressmaker Shail K.

Reveals Fall 2013 Collection

Designer Channels Punk, Gatsby Fashion Movement

Add some sass and flair to your wardrobe with Shail K.’s Fall 2013 Collection of flirty, feminine frocks. Drawing nuances from fashion and pop-culture’s latest influences, the new Fall 2013 Collection successfully combines the sophistication of Gatsby’s Daisy Buchanan with the Met Gala’s vision of posh punk.

Designer Kimi Verma, fashion/business entrepreneur and beauty pageant veteran, is passionate about delivering high-fashion style at a contemporary price point. For Fall 2013, Verma mixes the iconic female fashion of the Roaring Twenties with the sophistication and confidence of a modern-day woman. With a true understanding of quality and cut, Shail K.’s Fall 2013 Collection empowers every woman to embrace her inherent femme fatale.

This season’s collection reminds its wearers that they are bold and unique. Intricate, hand-stitched beading-matched along perfectly with a balanced color palette, ensure that your inner rock-star shines through as you enter the room. Classic silhouettes, both long and short, are kept edgy with deep v-necks, asymmetrical sleeves, and surprising seams and embroidery. Weather you find your inner-glam in classic colors like black, champagne, and white or in eye-catching bolds like emerald, rich red, and royal blue, you'll be sure to turn heads wearing Shail K.

Uma Thurman at the Met Ball - Red Carpet How-To’s from Stylist David Babaii

Silver screen siren, Uma Thurman, always looks impeccable on the red carpet. At last night’s annual Metropolitan Ball, she took a walk on the wild side for the punk theme, chaos to couture; and didn't disappoint in a striking poison ivy green chartreuse Zac Posen gown that was simply stunning. As she crossed the red carpet her fashion was flawless, paired perfectly with a full, sleek, high ponytail a classic up-do. She trusted her tresses to her long-time stylist, David Babaii. To emphasize Uma’s bone structure and voluminous long hair, David placed a ponytail at the crown of her head for a polished look. To ensure her hair was red carpet ready and fabulously full, David recommended she begin taking Viviscal, a supplement designed to nourish hair and promote growth.

David Babaii commented on Uma’s sleek strands, “What’s been amazing is that I notice the texture of Uma’s hair is different now, the elasticity is better, the density of each lock of hair is thicker and longer, it holds a style better and overall it has been amazing to work with since I recommended she start Viviscal. To be honest, it has made my life easier as her hair is longer, more luscious, and just amazing.”
