The Saniya Khan AW12 collection was characterized by sumptuous velvets in
black, smoke, plum and burgundy, Embroidery in gold and silver thread, intricate
beadwork and occasional fur accents[1]. Enormous
faux rubies gave the velvet pieces a mystical quality. There was a definite
eastern influence but not specific to one country. The unapologetic romanticism of the collection
gave it a timeless quality. I would consider any of the pieces with gold and
silver thread embroidery to be investment pieces.

obviously I don’t support but nonetheless am reporting the facts. This is not to
detract from the designer's work but for me to maintain an honest dialogue with
my readers.
