Review
Ode to the city where she was born and brought up, Anupama Dayal showcased a collection that was infused with bright popish colors and dainty floral prints. Inspired by architecture and wedding ensembles garments were crafted from delicate fabrics like chiffon, lightweight silk and cotton brocade in rich tones of red, ochre, deep green and pale blue. From Persian angrakhas to sheer embroidered lehengas, the collection was apt for a 21st Century modern woman. A-line skirts with embellished bodices had extensive tasseling and fringing done on them. Printed scarves and arty bandanas were slouched on necks, followed by effortless silken robes and embroidered sleeves. Bright floral maxis were very significant with the brand’s design aesthetics, as strapless resort-wear gowns had daring plunges and unstructured hems. Tapered trousers and harem pants were worn with chiffon shrugs and open-up capes were matched aptly with frilled frou-frous. A lot of layering and pleating was done on the garments and one of the standout pieces from the collection was the angel-sleeved tunic worn with Gandhian pants and embroidered ballerinas.
