    Inspired by the chintz designs, Kavita Bhartia’s collection was an ode to the Indian karigars and haute couture craftsmanship. Voluminous skirts with loads of gold embroidery could be seen. This was followed by intricate patchwork on tulle, done by using gold threads. Fine bodice and extravagant lace detailing also complemented her dreamy and chic garments, each telling their own unique story. Fabrics like georgette, khadi, cotton and silk were majorly used in her designs. Cropped jackets, gold zari textured skirts and sequined sheers brought up an extravaganza to the masterpieces. There were some garments in the show that had appliqué hand embroidery, which gave us an insight into the world of craftsmanship done effortlessly by all the artisans. Color palettes of white, mist green, soft pink and summer black were also used. In the end, models were seen wearing garments, which majored in black, accompanied with white embroidery. The footwear was kept very simple and all models wore strappy stellatos of nude and black. The whole show reflected Kavita’s vision of bringing back the rich Indian craftsmanship through her design aesthetics.
