‘Don’t block the pop’
The upcoming designer, Krishna Mehta and her innovative designs have always made an impact onto the viewer. Her collection for S/S ’17 ‘Curious Alice’ screamed ‘pop’ in a way that still preserved the authenticity of Indian textiles and handwork. The show was a treat to the eyes; mind and soul as a fresh palette of designs were showcased.
There was a surprise element in the show, two models entered the stage from the front raising the excitement level of the audience. They, then stood as statured mannequins all along. The music was loud and unconventional which slowly faded away to a pop tune everyone loved. There was a lot going on but the designs somehow managed to maintain balance and harmony. Maheshwari being the main fabric, triumphed over woven trousers, floor-length jackets and asymmetrical skirts alike. Embellished belts, a huge upcoming trend also found its way cinching the Indian fabric together at the waists of the models. The makeup was minimal with a color pop on lips and the hair was pulled back au natural. The models were also clad in Bohemian jewelry and fringed sneakers to add a much-welcomed twist to the garments. The glitter didn’t stay back as well as sequined silhouettes graced the stage.
It was a sweet paradise was all the curious Alices in the audience. Fun never gets out of fashion.
