With the collection titled Waves of Joy, the crowned designer Anita Dongre is all set to spell the aura of a delicious and vibrant summer at the runway for the 2012 Summer/Resort Lakme Fashion Week 

The collection with its vivacious color palette featuring sugary pastels like candy pink, bright lime, sea green, aqua blue and peach, to the sweet shades of soft greys and yellows crops up contemporary silhouettes. The mood of the collection is early-evening resort wear emphasizing feminine detailing and its vivid tones. Fabrics echoing the authentic India  which embrace silk and cotton brocade weave from Benaras, tie and dye from Rajasthan, gorgeous hand painted silks from Jaipur, Ikats of Andhra Pradesh, and chikan kari from Lucknow glimpse through the designer’s creation. With a laid-back yet sophisticated look, the line flows from easy pastels to classic black and whites, to rich gold brocades. 

Waves of Joy will showcase an enchanting truss flanked by the organic fair trade cotton and boho-luxe style. High on comfort and style code the designer’s array is a sensual line of graciously flowing gowns; maxi dresses, easy jackets, flowing palazzos, skirts and feminine lace blouses. Anita carved her contemporary outfits with chikan kari and gota patti embroidery. 

This is for the first time the runway will be experiencing Anita Dongre’s men’s line compiling of cool linen shirts in the delicious summer colours of pink, turquoise and lime, minimalist linen blazers in neutral colours, and trousers in burnt orange and yellow illustrating refined fabrics, clean cuts and impeccable fits. The designer Anita Dongre epitomizes her exclusive S/R range by stating, “For this collection I picture a woman on a dreamy holiday with her man, whose taste is refined and subtle, going for romantic cocktails, looking very sexy and feminine”.
