Undoubtfully, one’s most cherished times are their childhood. The warmth of fathomless love one receives, the first and last time they can do anything they want regardless of its consequences, the most important phase of their life, childhood. Here, I try to beat the harshest cold with the warmest childhood memory one beholds. Baheej is a winter festive collection inspired from the works of the brand Good Earth. Each elements of the outfit represents the warmth of our childhood. From sweetness of berries plucked with great difficulty to bitterness of first bite of the pickled gooseberry grandma made, plucking fresh flowers to make garlands before you brush your teeth to seeing sun bidding abode, and furthermore to counting stars, one’s memories of colourful childhood remains packed up and thrown away at some corner at this era of internet and fast paced lives. Baheej takes you back to those memories. To bring you back warmth from those memories to melt you to rejoin at winter festivities, so that you don’t dress up so well that you can wrap it all up in one shawl or a plain sweater. This is a reality you see at any wedding or festival during winter. Baheej is a collection made in merino wool to keep you warm and zari to make you look radiant wherever you are. Baheej is an arabic term for festive.
