‘A Spring Affair’
Spring was adapted well in Rina Dhaka’s S/S ’17 collection as a romance between modernity and tradition was portrayed through flowing silhouettes on the stage. It was a steamy affair, one from which we couldn’t keep our eyes off.
The cold-shoulder blouses maintained the chic factor combining with traditional floral motifs. Tassels also played a major part in keeping the collection young and free. The color palette was inclusive of nudes and pastels with a dash of eclectic pinks and reds. Lace and ruffles made the dreamy silhouettes all the more appealing. ‘Sheer’ was redefined as it delicately flowed on the models’ bodies, combined with maxi skirts embroidered to skirts and dresses. The graphics on the garments was inspired by the traditional elements of paithan. It was refreshing to see the models walking in fringed flats to show the natural movement of the fabrics. The make-up was doey and soft with pulled back hair.
It was a pretty affair with strong structures merging with elegant designs. Spring came alive on stage and so did the audience.
