SPJ Sadhana School, offered Blessings, a fashion presentation with Krishna Mehta, at the Sophia Bhabha Auditorium.
With the onset of the soon approaching Gandhi Jayanti, five designers, namely Aneeth Arora, Sreejith Jeevan, Soumitra Mondal, Gaurav Jai Gupta and Divya Sheth, have designed exclusively to support Indian textiles and craftsmanship.
Soumitra Modal, for his label Marg comes up with the rebirth of classic Indian heritage, comprising some unique weaves, intricate patterns and embroidery techniques. The designer went further traditional, by using some of the most natural and eco-friendly fabrics like jamdani, khadi, silk and cotton.
Thus, each designer paid their respective tributes to Gandhi’s own personal belief in Swadeshi, by creating traditionally Indian, yet exclusive and luxurious garments.
Christine Phung, Hood by Air and Jacquemus were amongst the other exhibitors for the day. Christine’s collection was overall very languid and youthful, including some trendy teenage dresses, crop tops, skirts, pants, trousers and gowns. While Hood by Air went with its conventional street styling, showcasing collections filled with drama and mysticism. Meanwhile, Jacquemus was the one responsible for lightening up the mood, with a collection including some over-sized yet feminine ensembles. Bright and flowery colours along with applique stripes prints were at the crux of the collection.
Moving on, Léa Peckre and Yiqing Yin were amongst the other highlights of the show. Both the designers believed in keeping it simple and minimalistic. While Peckre’s collection comprised of sober casual and street wear, Yigin Yin showcased a subtle party wear collection. However, the colour schemes for both the designers included pastel and basic colours like sky blue, bottle green, dull yellow and black to name a few.
