Ashish Soni and Anamika Khanna’s collection made it to this year’s WLIFW finale. Charcoal, greys, brown , burnt reds and royal blue made up the color palette while oxidized silver was used to accent the pieces. Prints, texture, severely constructed garments and contemporary silhouettes made up the collections.

Ashish Soni’s collection had fitted jackets, constructed clothes, two tone woven fabrics, cigarette pants, and jacquards in black that made up contemporary club wear. Anamika Khanna’s collection had a more colorful palette with sheath dresses, skirts, structured coats and ‘bandhgalas’.

Puja Arya’s collection was called ‘Guzel’ (Turkish for beautiful) and made use of abstract and traditional motifs against a backdrop of rich and contrasting colors. While traditional bead-work was used, the pieces themselves were extremely contemporary. The collection comprised of jackets, saris, skirts and dresses.

Ekru with its collection took a look back at the Italian Renaissance depicted mainly through the tapestry motifs heavily used throughout this collection. Earthy color palette of self textured fabrics like sand, pebble, ecru and creams were often contrasted with colors like deep burgundy that was used as trimming or piping to give the garments more depth and texture.

Anju Modi’s collection, ‘Luminosity’ used ethereal fabrics like subdued colored nets, georgettes and chiffons in pastel shades. Beautiful traditional prints and jeweled accents were used that gave the pieces in this collection, like its title, ‘luminosity’. The collection had a mix of dresses, saris, tunics, skirts and silhouettes that retained the Indian aesthetic while still having the comfort of clean lines.

Sucheta V Merh’s collection, ‘Earthy Myth’ drew its inspiration from beauty of autumn in an old town. Fittingly, the color palette too was earthy with browns, greens, plums and beige being used prominently among others. The collection included saris, dresses, trousers and skirts.

Swapan and Seema’s collection, ‘Snow Queen’ was a mix of saris, lehengas, cocktail dresses and gowns. Chiffons, crepes, velvets and satins were extensively used in a color palette that was wide-ranging, from plums, burgundy, oranges, yellow and neutrals. Gold and copper embroidery as well as intricate bead-work was used to elevate the look of the pieces.
