Creating a magical look called ‘Arcadia’ Ridhi Mehra unleashed a fashion fantasy in shades of teal green but balanced with navy, eggplant, aged Cabernet pink, ivory and black .
Feminine, luxurious and gorgeous to behold, the ensembles created an era of days gone by. Elements of floral gardens and vintage fountains came alive for the draped and pleated shapes. Intricate embroidery, mosaic prints, laser cutwork and appliqués were creatively used. The luxe fabric choice of raw silk, crepe, georgette, net and silk flowed around the models as they glided down the catwalk.
Highlights of the collection were the bomber sleeves, seductive Grecian drapes and off-shoulder creations. A cleverly pleated belted maxi skirt was edged with exquisite floral embellishments on the hem. A sexy plunge neck gown with strategically placed gold embroidery created a dramatic impact; while a delicately embellished floral tunic teamed with low crotch cowl pants made a striking fashion statement. Panelled capes were edged with discreet work, while off-shoulder peasant blouses added glamour to fully ornate panelled maxis skirts.
