The designer’s collection titled ‘Timeless’ was classic Wendell Rodricks. The term DeBo is often loosely bandied about but this Goa based designer has it down pat. Clean, fluid lines, masterful draping and clever use of vibrant colors, all very apparent.

There was a buzz around Anushka Khanna’s debut collection and going by some of the designs we saw on the runway, we can see why. Loved the embellished belted sari as well as the long button-front diaphanous shirts. The pants stood out too.

Spotted in a pair o’ printed wide-leg A+O pants paired with a white top was Prerna at a recent brunch. Stacked bangles, dangling earrings and a Prada clutch completed her look.
Ms. Goel wears the pants well. Personally, not big on that print. However, it (the print) wasn’t as overwhelming as we expected it to look when worn (wasn’t on Prerna anyway).

Florals were a major part Drashta’s Spring/Summer 2013 presentation (even though the FW was billed as Winter/Festive) as most Spring collections are wont to, the difference here though lying entirely in its execution. Origami’esque folds and pleats, classic silhouettes and high-slits all added power to a more traditionally feminine print and color-palette. A collection rich in cocktail and evening wear, we hope to see the designs off-the-runway!

We loved Payal Khandwala’s debut collection and this presentation titled ‘Sadhu and the Samurai’ seemed an extension of it. Present was the same easy, pared down DeBo vibe. What was new however was the overture to a little more emphasis to form and play with drape. Two collections down, the designer has an unmistakable aesthetic and we’d love to see how it evolves with the next presentation.
