Rehane’s Spring summer 2017 collection had a vibe of ease. The silhouette is long and short and mostly in free flowing lines. Throughout the collection one sees laser cut silk and tussar silks in watered down pastels such as Aqua, lilac, and grey blue.

The show started with a slow dreamy song playing in the background. It then transitioned to pop. The hair of the models was crimped, fluffed up and pulled back while the makeup remained neutral.

There was a range of floral embroidered tunics as tops. Layering and ruffles provided a trendy touch to the collection. Trends like peplum and cap sleeves had a huge comeback The silhouettes were loose-fitting and flowy keeping it casual yet chic. Cut-out dresses and deep v necks raised the sexy meter. The collection consisted of a wide variety of crochet work done on shorts, jackets, tops alike. The colour palette consisted of pastels, whites, nudes and beige. The pantone colour of the spring/summer 2017, a faint blue called serenity was also seen on the ramp on various linen skirts. Sheer seems to be gaining popularity as it was used with floral motifs to enhance the vividness. Midi-length dresses and skirts had a great prowess over the collection. The collection also provided fine examples of fun beach cover-ups for the summer.

The collection focused on the beautiful surreal Greek goddess in each woman.
