Review
As the young Japanese geishas dressed in ‘Kawaii’ outfits entered, everyone was dumbstruck with amazement. The duo did an amazing job in amalgamating Japanese kimono drapes with Indian contemporary styles making the whole collection minimalistic yet elegant. Linear structures were softened with bows and scallops. Cropped pants and frilled hemlines followed by fishtail gowns were a dominant part of the collection. The garments were all bot drapes and folds. A lot of bows were used in the collection. In some of the looks, bows were added at the back that made it look very similar to a kimono. Harajuku style apron skirts and long floral patches were sewn onto long linear dresses. Pastels of black, red and white were the dominant colors in the whole collection. Floral clogs followed by pleated headgears could be seen worn by the models. Simple minimalistic cuts and drapes made this collection look like clothes made for little dolls. The back got special attention with structured tie-ups. The country’s dominant cultural aesthetic penetrates every aspect of Japanese life. Overall, the collection had an Avant-garde touch with a hint of the Japanese kimono, giving it a rich and royal look. As for the music, Indian beats with a touch of Japanese lyrics and composures made this collection a dream come true!
