Designer Khushboo & Prem celebrating understated elegance & subtle Indian glamour unleashes an enigmatic themed collection christened as ‘Dreams in Prussian Blue’ at Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2014.

The collection focuses on evening centric ensembles in colours of blue & white. With ladylike cocktail tunics & swooping floor length dresses the designers have played with loose, attention seizing silhouettes having fluttering long dresses with train backs & short fronts. The lengths are relatively longer and sliced in asymmetric hems.

Fabrics such as silk velvet, silk georgettes, satins, nylon nets have been used making the garments float on the body in a way that the fabric is lightly tacked at the seams. Silk yarns of various types, hint of sequins & Swarovski crystals give that extra dash to the collection.

The collection is a nostalgic voyage of Snakes & Ladders and Ludo game and celebrates the twin game that now seem lost in the deluge of digitalization. The collection is an interesting reflection of the game in garments and ensembles, offering quirkiness and novelty .

The designer has played with bold, primary colors, in silks, cottons, chiffons, rayon and viscose blends whereas silhouettes offer a mix of Indian & western in menswear & womenswear. The garments have been embellished with prints and hand embroideries, accessorised with handmade jewellery and shoes.
