MOMSOME DUOS

ANY of us, growing up, would have watched our mother dressing up and admired her style, hoping to someday be like her.

ANY of us, growing up, would have watched our mother dressing up and admired her style, hoping to someday be like her. We may have even tried on her jewellery, messed up her makeup or gotten hopelessly tangled in her sarees. But fashion designer Seema Malhotra didn't just admire her mom — Jamila Malhotra shining in Bengaluru's elite social circles with her intricate hand-embroidered outfits — but also learnt her skills, creating the luxury bridal fashion brand, Shimmer, in UB City, alongside her. "I think I developed that flair from her because she was always a trendsetter," says Seema, as Jamila adds, "I used to do all my own designing and embroidery. Slowly, Seema also got interested... It was beautiful because, my mother too, was a great seamstress," adds Jamila.
