A special fair which will showcase the latest, the hippest, the fashionable & the new by some of the leading designers in the fashion industry held its preview in New Delhi recently. Destination London Market is setting out to firmly establish as one of the important markets from jewelry to prêt to couture.
Organized by Nikkhil Chugh and Upasana Suruchi Chugh, the first preview saw the designers Raakesh Agarwal, Hemant & Nandita, Urvashi Kaur, Swati Modo, Kanika Jain, Sonal Mangla, Shweta Kohli, Muskaan, Mani showcasing their collection over wine and cheese.
Raakesh Agarwal collection saw the rigid asymmetry of the barcode informs the design in total, producing a bandage-like effect that can be seen on the new cocktail dresses, smoking jackets, and tunics. The color palette, to balance the Western cut of the collection, moves from his classic ivory+ uberwhite combination into nudes, and progresses into champagne tones.
Urvashi Kaur had sharp geometry of checks and stripes mellowed with soothing drapes, twists and folds. The punctuated use of polka dots adds to the dynamism. Combinations of varied textures & patterns in contrasting colors are discreetly set together in structured panels. Sheer & suave silhouettes are layered intelligently to resolutely define an exceptional look. While customized shoe designer Swati Modo takes you boho, so come to see the flowers, prints in her collection.
