‘Warriors of the Rainbow’ was Malini’s collection that started off with color and finished off with strong black and gold tribal looks. Mixing Indian influences with that from Africa, Mexico, Tibet and Syria, the collection consisted of maxis, dresses, dhoti pants and flouncy tops.

Having seen her do something similar back in 2010 and better, this collection didn’t quite feel up to par.

Looking at this collection, I could so very easily be a Péro girl. Casual without being dowdy, the clothes were easy, perfectly styled and contemporary while still leaving no one in any doubt of their Indian origin.

Rimzim Dadu presented another strong collection. No flouncy florals here, loved that black-and-white number in Row Three and the floral white top paired with the textured lime pencil skirt in Row Two. It’d be a shame if some of these aren’t worn off the runway.

WLIFW Spring 2013: Kallol Datta

Kallol Datta’s ‘Grotesque Nonsense’ was every bit as restrained and pared-down as it was unexpected. The immaculate and tightly reigned in drape and deconstruction was a joy. The mood may have been dark but the clothes were anything but. Loved this presentation.

Like with her previous collections, the designer continues to work with fabrics like chanderi and khand. This time however, the indian-wear inspired pieces made way for more contemporary silhouettes in hand-woven fabrics. With some of the dresses though, it was hard to not sense a bit of Rahul Mishra hangover.
