Iski Topi, Uske Sar!

We are big fans of Indian History and so we thought of interpreting/accessorizing one of the most popular symbols of the same: The Nehru Topi.

Everybody loved Nehru. The kids loved him, his followers loved him and we loved his topi!

It was a fairly simple and fun task to jazz up the humble topi and make it look contemporary. We created bright funky Indian prints that really reflect the clothes and personality of our models!

Alisha Pais looks like she’s lying in the fields of Punjab with a beautifully painted polka dotted topi. The leather jacket from Hong Kong and cotton dress teamed with the gorgeous Doc Martins, also from Hong Kong, complete her contemporary Nehru look.

With our male models, Bharat and Noel, we kept it simple. Bharat’s red topi and Aztec like pendant clubbed with a simple scarf from London makes an interesting picture.

Noel, on the other hand clubbed his red and black scarf and his Nehru topi with his amusing expressions!

Sinead tried a slightly gothic punk look with the topi through her make up. The long feather eye lashes from New York, heavy eye make up and black lip colour is quite dramatic. The white Peace printed top, hot pink stockings and maroon laced shoes complement the topi.

 The best thing about the Nehru topi is its versatility. It blends well with both colourful and simple garments.

So go ahead, jazz up the Nehru topi, re-invent the Nehru look!
