Review
This New Age designer known for his Avant Garde style aesthetics; has contrasting approach towards fashion makes his line distinct from the rest. The collection ‘Game Changer’ by Siddhartha Bansal evoked more than what met the eye and stimulated a connection that consolidated the mind and soul in a harmonious bond .
The fight between good and evil, materialism and spiritualism never looked this glamorous and striking. Bansal, incorporated ‘the all-seeing eye’ that is generally acknowledged as a symbol of power and spirituality by converting it into digital motifs. The ensembles had a psychedelic vibe etched to them and the pop-art influenced colour palette that included turquoise, coral, mauve, tangerine and mustard escalated the funk.
The garments varied from elegant printed old-school blouse/cropped top teamed with a twin skirt and a scarf to flared vibrant palazzos combined with a low-key T-shirt, which were highly functional yet quirky and pleasant. The outfits had a certain ease and music festive vibe with the play of colours and prints. A fashionable example was an off-shoulder, printed, floor length dress and a layered frilled imprinted gown with a basic black bodice highlighted with sequinned work. The fabrics were carefully chosen from different parts of India to celebrate the lavish heritage of this nation. Collaboration between this kaleidoscopic and modish presentation and the classic flavours of Indian textiles was a match made in art heaven.
