Shantanu & Nikhil, exhibited Spring/Summer 15 Haute Couture line of chic cocktail evening wear & bespoke accessories through an exquisite static art connotation recreating a allegory of couture show, at their flagship store in Defence Colony.

The exclusive press only event saw a soulful blooming splendour populated by a species of couture clad diaphanous protagonists. The exhibit was devoted to a complete feel of the Duchess in the delicate sorority of signature demi-couture gowns and blushed draped contours .The mannequins all in a pose fitting to the dress being modeled waiting for the show to begin giving a strong desire to the lives lived in them .The parade continued with the vision of grandeur coming alive as an expression of how minimalism is the new admirable. Retreating into nature, mannequin faces almost in motion covered with a second pretence showed unexpected parallels with their own state of mind and an eventual walk into the dawn with infinite possibilities of subtle sensitiveness.

The expressive contour of her individuality and supreme eleganceis strongly defined by the Silhouette, an amalgamation of fluid layers & feminine structures, the glimmering gowns, draped tunics, blushed fluidic sleeve contrasted with art nouveau motifs through a palette of intense onyx blacks, greys & taupes shifting blissfully to sweet peaches, caramels, ivories & gold are a mere showcase, transient & ephemeral, her undying character & spirit is eternal.

The world changes and yet it remains the same. Embodying these timeless classifications, Not So Serious by Pallavi Mohan, present its autumn winter collection ‘nostalgia’ for India Fashion Week FW 15.

Almost a century ago, the 1920’s were a period of Irrational, exuberance and pulsating energy. Taking clue from history, the collection is energetic yet restrained, says the designer. Warm wools and luxurious silks, this set is perfect foil for the cold winter chills. Silhouettes are conservative yet modern and construction techniques hark back to a slower more thought out process.

Poet satin blouses, printed organza dresses, pleated wool blend skirts and hand-linked skirts make up the ensemble. Construction techniques include laser cut motifs,  dyed feathers, velvet patchwork and blanket-stitchedgros grain tapes with a few mischievous sparkles in hidden details.

For upcoming India Fashion Week, the FW ’15 collection of Ashima Leena is a tour de force of modern, eclectic and tribal style. It’s prints, pleats and patchwork form intriguing connections with the dreamily exotic air of nomads.

Sumptuous interplay of geometrics and paisleys are detailed with sunset red in orange, gold with deep orchids and sapphire blending with black and ivory color blocks. The silhouettes are layered, wrapped and overlapped, flowing prints and sheer forming asymmetry be it a tunic, culottes or kaftans in soft satiny silks and chiffons.
