“PROMISES”
The show commenced at a very soothing note as there was saxophone music playing with the short movie about the chanderi fabric. This mood was carried forward with the slight shift of tempo as it got a tad bit energetic to mark the entry of the models.
The collection laid emphasis on the natural fabrics and indigenous embroidery techniques. Fabrics like silk, cotton, chanderi silk, linen and crepe dominated the collection. Straight fit kurtas were popular in her collection as she presented different kinds of kurtas- collared neck with three-fourth sleeves, crew neck with rolled up sleeves, kurtas with floral embroidery and sheer kurtas over A-line pleated dress and cup sleeves kurta over a gaucho. The designer made use of pastel and soft shades like beige, egg shell white, sky blue and baby pink. She experimented with and played around with different necklines as there was a showcase of round necks, V necks, Chinese collars, split neck, notched collar and crew neck. The hemlines were essentially flowy and the fabrics seemed breathable and very comfortable. Tassels were used to define the waistline which looked very feminine and delicate. The colourful silk thread motifs were seen standing out on the muted base of the kurtas. The collection gave a very romantic vibe as pin tuck stitch was used along with the tassels hanging loose with the colour combinations. Kola puri chappals completed the look and emphasised on the casualness of the outfits and how it can be carried out with ease.
Overall the collection seemed to take inspiration from the renaissance age charged with the awe in the ordinary.
