Review
Kanika Jain, behind the brand ‘Kanelle’, presented ‘Baby-Blue Jean’ as a tribute to the most basic yet classic piece of clothing commonly present in every closet across the globe through her line .
Running down memory lane, this collection swiftly deported the audience back to the late 80’s and early 90’s when happiness was through living in a favourite pair of lucky jeans that managed to fit like a dream and still had a designated spot in the closet.
The ensembles marked the evolution of this vital apparel in a more contemporary manner with highly up-scaled inventive variations. An array of regular silhouettes, such as textured denim jackets, slip dress, skirts, capes with unfinished edges, flared bell-bottoms, sheer tunic, woollen round-neck tops, wrap over trench dress, asymmetrical top over casual jeans were given a rather glamorized make-over by making them more captivating yet retaining their functional value. Commanding fits along with the prototypical pocket placement was a swift move that blended well with the idea of easy chic. The nipped waists and a bit of asymmetry also added to the creative element of the garments.
Textures like twisted pleats, fringes, metallic vark, washed and treated, yarn mesh patchwork, play of darts and customized buttons were intelligently accumulated in the apparel that successfully escalated its visual demeanour. The creative mix of sheer and opaque gave a stylish angle to the outfits.
Denim being the central hero of the clothes was pitched together with organza and woollen fabrics for unusual artistic results. The colour range was a funky mixture of vintage denim hues and stark earthy tones like nude, beige, brown, white, smoky grey with a tinge of pastel that gave the outfits an extra edge.
