When the deep voice of the singer used in playback music was first heard, the mood was set straight up for a romantic show. The designer showcased a blushed collection of dreamy outfits blooming like a morning flower.
The makeup on the models was soft and fresh with a hint of pink lips and peach rouge. Hair, was again a fresh breath of air as natural locks were left open and blown up.
The collection consisted of a wide range of free-flowing gowns and maxis with occurrence of fitted jackets to maintain the harmony. Bohemian was given a floral twist as fringe bags were sported with large floral prints. Georgette and chiffon sarees, saree pants, dresses and skirts swooshed and played with the silhouettes. Olive green, romantic roses, beige and browns formed the colour palette of the show. Models were sported in nude heels to balance all the colour and large-rimmed brown sunglasses adhering to the trend. Fads like pant-capes and cut-out sarees also debuted here. Charming co-ord sets made of breathable fabric made the collection very wearable. Ruffles, a huge recurrence this season found smaller ways to make a difference. A-line sarees and saree-pants with embroidered net-work brought out a traditional vibe. The jumpsuit trend doesn’t seem to anywhere, as flared pant jumpsuits hung loose on the model’s frame.
Romance was in the air as birds chirped, flowers bloomed and spring founds its residence in Ashima Leena’s AIFWSS ’17 show ‘Romance of the florals’.
