Review
The ‘Lovebirds X BLOT’ show had feisty dresses, funky shirts and cool pants with the characteristic Lovebirds touch. The label started by Amrita Khanna and Gursi Singh in 2014 had a contemporary take on fashion, which was visible in the pure simple lines that focused on shapes and forms. The colours that gave strong highlights to the looks moved from neutral white, ivory and blue to pretty peach. Hand woven cotton as well as cotton silk along with the popular Japanese rage – Cupro – created the base for the clean silhouettes and architecturally inspired geometric details with classic undertones.
The sartorial lines were visible by the pleats and the fluidity came through the rouching and gathers in the garments. Graphical geometry was highlighted on a trapeze tunic teamed with a pair of loose pants. The layering trend was on point as a loose blue top with prominent white ‘V’ design, which covered the pretty black bishop sleeves dress with gathered details. The all-white looks were a welcomed break in the rhythm, like the high neck tunic with pockets and curved hemline, which was teamed with white pants. The illusion of layering continued with unique monochrome tunic that had a black yoke, sleeves, and attached double flares in white that looked like a cute off-shoulder dress.
The hand embroidery was minimal and the unisex collection added zing to the party atmosphere that rocked the venue. The show concluded on a high note with an amazing surprise as the models entered the arena grooving to the music and invited the audience to join them.
