Review
Taking inspiration from the French Chantilly lace and the effortless grace of gamine Parisian, Payal Singhal’s AW collection was ethereally feminine and voluminously sculpted. With a color palette of muddy pastels like dusky blue, rose pink, stone grey and almond; models effortlessly glided the runway wearing beautifully structured garments crafted from lightweight fabrics like tulle, organza, silk and lace. Intricate embroidery was done onto feminine jumpsuits and Victorian gowns. Floor-length lehengas were accompanied with buttoned-up blouses and fringed spaghetti tops. Layered bodices were appliquéd with gold brocade work as sheer gowns were accompanied by keyhole necklines, patch worked with intricate floral motifs. A-line silhouettes with flowy hemlines were incorporated onto sleek off-shoulder numbers and bold jackets with built-up collars. Loads of network could be seen on structured kurtas as knot placements here and there, enhanced the subtle tones of French chic dressing. Flouncy tops and laced anarkalis were accessorized with strappy gold sandals, as scalloping hemlines were emblazoned onto bustier jackets and chiffon capes.
