A disco-lit auditorium started off this party as eye-blinding shimmer spread across the ramp. Body-hugging gowns and sarees kept the glam quotient up of this show.
Tunes of slow-paced romantic music filled the auditorium. The models’ faces were done with light eye makeup while lips were painted shades of browns and maroons. The hair eloquently pulled back in ponytails.
Whites and nudes formed the theme of the show ranging from off-white to beige and brown. Hints of peach were witnessed studded with glittery stones. The outfits were crafted for the contemporary Indian woman who has a knack for her heritage and ethics. Intricate gold embroidery on well-tailored saree-pants, gowns, sarees and suits alike merged the two different worlds of fashion- modern and traditional. While cape style jackets and asymmetrical hemlines carried the whole show forward, there were glances of traditional cuts and structures to break the monotony. One-off shoulder blouses and dresses also made an appearance. The accessories worn were mainly bronze and gold coloured while the shoes were silver and gold pointed heels. Shimmer seemed to be the designers’ favourite aspect to play with as they had experimented with various types of mediums from handwoven to glitter fabrics. Indian motifs and floral motifs also sparked onto the various clothes.
It was show gleaming with the pride an Indian woman must hold in the contemporary society. We take our style as seriously as we take our champagne.
