The show started with the blue spotlights dancing which gave a very energetic and positive vibes. As the show started a cluster of models came and stood together to greet with a Namaste. The collection was inspired by the flow and fluidity of life which was were very well translated in the garments by the designer through the light fabrics and flowy silhouettes.
The collection was very tribal with the contemporary twist being traditional at the same time. The collection was presented accessorized with the crepe dupatta wrapped around the head like a turban. The whole collection seemed to have religious elements incorporated like the appearance of the turban for one and also the inclusion of Khanda (Sikh symbol) on the back of the garments. This collection of Malini’s is a natural extension of her own lifestyle and is her most wearable collection till date. It flows effortlessly from day to night and from casual to chic. The looks were presented with the easy slip on shoes and a strong wink liner looked very chic. The designer played with the shoulders as there were off-shoulder bodices, collared necks, halter necks, round necks, deep V necks and not to forget the hooded caps attached to the garments which added an interesting element. The collection comprised of softest jerseys, Cotton and silks making them comfortable to wear. The collection looked so comfortable with handkerchief hemlines. The looks were carried off with ease coupled with a high bun as the hairdo. The colour palette was majorly dominated by rustic browns, muted greys, whites, beige and reds with fun exotic prints.
Overall the collection seemed very wearable and one can feel comfortable at all times looking chic and modern.
