Having worked with floral-prints very successfully in the past (Autumn/Winter 2011, Spring 2012), expectations were high from Hemant and Nandita. Titled ‘Kaleidology’, the collection saw extensive use of abstract floral prints.

If you’ve read this blog long enough, you know am a sucker for a good print. And while for the most part they were visually appealing (and some looks did stand out), the presentation tended to get repetitive. It was a little too one note for me.

WLIFW Spring 2013: Joy Mitra

Joy Mitra presented a collection that drew inspiration from the colonial India while attempting to give traditional garments a more contemporary twist. I can’t quite honestly say the collection made much of an impression. A lot of the traditional looks seemed like rehashed (and badly executed) Anand Kabra and/or Anamika Khanna designs.

While Mana and Juhi went with pink and gold, Farah picked an anarkali that was off-white and gold with just a pop of pink. Whose look are you digging the most?

Not everyone wore desi to the Bachchan do… Among those who didn’t were Ameesha and Prachi, both in Halston Heritage. They even finished out their looks with similar platform pumps.

While the color looked great on Ameesha, Prachi had this one hands-down. Her Halston Heritage looked stellar on her and the severe hair made for a welcome change.

Both Ayesha and Preity picked kurta-churidaars for the Bachchan do. Of the two, it was easy for us to pick Ms. Zinta’s look as the one we preferred. You?
