Review
Inspired by the epic love story of Prithviraj Chauhan, King of Delhi and his wife Samyukta, Gaurang Shah revealed his collection “Samyukta” which took the audience on an exciting and mind blowing journey fashion.
The textile designer used handloom weaves to the fullest in his collection. The bold and beautiful was dominated by the traditional color, red but was occasionally contrasted by green and yellow. Rajasthani Kota, Banarasi silk, Patan Patola, Paithani in typical Maharashtra style, Khadi Jamdhani from Andhra, Ikat from Telangana and a variety of embroidery techniques were also incorporated into the rich collection.
Anarkalis, lehengas, kurtas, ghararas, farshis were shown on the runway that was perfect for the brides. Lehengas were draped with silk sarees like a dupatta. The outfits were bedecked with Zardosi, Chikankari, kutch work, kasuti and embellishments in vivid prints including the Sawari.
The collection also had menswear consisting of jamas, anghrakhis, chogas, sadris and achkans for the grooms.
