Review
Inspired by a colorful fairytale, Anju Modi’s AW collection focused on the beauty and creation of ethereally feminine designs that took the audience away from the mundane breathes of life into a dreamy magical land. With a glitzy crown on their heads, models literally floated the runway wearing extensively draped fabrics and an absolute style stunner footwear – The Jeremy Scott Sneaker. Unstructured lehengas were appliquéd heavily with floral embroidery, as garments were seamlessly crafted from raw silk and emblazoned with uni-linear patterns. Long coats and double-breasted jackets were clasped to the waist with bow-shaped belts as the color palette included a rich array of pastels like aqua, cobalt blue, white and deep red. Illustrations of fairytale characters like moons and castles were imprinted here and there onto carefully structured garments like drapy poncho coats and turtleneck hoods. High-slit kurtas with crinkled sleeves were matched with slim-fit churidars, as fishtail gowns and belted robes added an oomph factor to the entire collection. Fitted sherwanis were accompanied with metallic embellished wing-tip collars as A-line gowns were imprinted with girly Gingham checks and intense brocade work. Asymmetric coat dresses were worn with khadi waistcoats, followed by raw silk trenches high-slit kurtas. Shawl drapery techniques were used to create unstructured peplum jackets that were belted with oversized suede bows.
