At the ongoing Fashion Week, designer duo Shivan and Narresh presented their Resort 12-13 line titled ‘Equus’. And like the name suggests, the theme was continually referenced. Braided detail referencing a horse’s mane, a geometric zebra print providing respite to a monochromatic look, colors mimicking the mammals’ skin sheen and tassels like those used on Royal horses all were there.

Shivan and Narresh have made a name for themselves in the Resort-wear world and understandably so. The lines are clean and the silhouettes, non-fussy. And while they continue to stick to color-blocking and a geometric sense of aesthetic, it doesn’t really feel tired or old. Loved the sari and the charcoal-grey dress. The absolute favorite though was the chartreuse and black dress (third row, extreme right) which we are bound to see off-the-runway, and soon.

Abhishek Dutta’s futruristic collection consisting of menswear and womenswear was marked by tangram prints. Purple and grey were the dominant colors in this winter collection. Would love to have one of those flared printed pants or even the top in my closet. Not that creepy gas mask, but of course.

Since we don’t get to see much of Sailex of the runway (wish we did more), it is nice to see his creations on a cover. Although, not feeling the red background against the peach.

Even though the maxi was casual, Ms. Sharma sure looked fierce in it. The red print with the patchwork bodice may have felt busy but she pulled it off.

Presenting a festive collection, one of the few we’ve seen so far was Krishna Mehta with her “Encore” collection. Targeting the wedding season, the collection heavily focused on saris and lehengas. Floral rose embroidery was dominant in most looks that came in shades of peach and some purple and black.
