You can definitely see Indian influences in FallnAngels Creations. The Reshama Silk is no different. This creative and innovative twenty-three piece collection draws it’s inspiration from the mysterious Middle East.
In the Middle East, the leaves of the henna plant have been used for centuries as a beautification of the hands and feet. This has been done particularly as religious ritual or during some ceremony. In India, the women utilize it to beautify themselves before big occasions such as wedding and holidays. The traditional patterns mimic a lacy look, like gloves on the hands and arms, and are very intricate and ravishing.
The use of mehandi or henna became a significant part of Indian folk art soon after the advent of the Muslims. The orange-red mehandi color was often painted on new brides. The women were painted with intricate designs on order to distinguish them from unmarried young virgins, who were in danger of being kidnapped by the Muslims. From that time onward, it is said that mehandi flourished as decorative art in India. Hindus consider mehandi as very dear to Lakshmi, goddess of wealth and fortune. If ever there was a plant associated with luck and prosperity, it is henna bush.
The Reshama Silks include flexi Skirts, Cloaked Hood, Scarf and Face Veil, Bindi (a cute little jewel on forehead) two sets of bangles, two sets of sculpted slippers, navel jewelry, Henna and both silver and gold outfit trim.
