Rahul Reddy’s collection was about the ’emotional extremes’ and the thirst for inner peace. The clothes were wearable, understated and muted. The range of skirts, dresses and tops all had clean lines and had either ruching, appliques or play on textures to accent the pieces. The color palette was a mix of mustards, greys and mauves.

‘Birds of paradise’ is what made up the theme/inspiration for this collection from Abhijeet Khanna’s RISA.
The color palette was warm with the use of earthy browns and greens and really vivid with the use of bright blues and turquoise. The collection comprised of shift dresses, long structured coats and narrow skirts. The lines stayed classic and clean.
The theme was used throughout the collection with the idea of feathers appearing in layered, textured applications, embroideries, overlaps, prints and in inventive patterns.

Manish Arora’s collection was all about the world of fantasy warriors!
There were metal armours, pop culture images like Mickey Mouse from Disney and from Japanese avant-garde artist Keiichi Tanaami, Japanese Samurai influences and anything medieval infused with pop-culture kitsch.
Crystals, stones, metallics, shimmer, constructed shoulders, layered textures, intricate embroideries, origami’esque construction and bead-work all made up the collection.
