Review
Inspired by the Ancient tribes and their sense of design aesthetics, Amalraj Sengupta presented a collection that had a modern take and a futuristic approach to the tribal way of living. Shirt dresses with pleated hems were paired with checkered kurtas and fitted trousers. Khadi saris were accessorized with leather strappy sandals, as Mandarin-collared jackets were patch worked with chunks of glossy velvet fabrications. Silk tunics were adorned with sheer sleeves and high-waist pleated skirts were worn with platform suede clogs. Silk blouses contained open-end backlines as each one was gathered to the waist with fringed belts and worn over unstructured coats and tapered trouser pants. Crotchet net was used to create raglan sleeves that became a part of lightweight wash proof trenches and paneled cotton-khadi blouses. Models were drenched in toned-down pastels of olive, rust, black, mustard and grey.
