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.

Reverb was the collection that Vaishali Shadangule presented that wasn’t far from her signature style. The designer is known for using traditional weaves like chanderi, silk and brocade and presenting it on the runway in a more non-traditional style using layering and overlapping.
Being a long time fan of Vaishali’s work, I for one, loved some of the offerings.

Day three of Lakme Fashion Week focused on Indian Textiles. Taking inspiration from the iznik patterns of Turkey, Debarun presented a collection that was a mixed bag of maxis, separates and saris and all very wearable. We must point out that outfit on Ms. Chadda, the showstopper. How do you present such a coordinated collection and end it off with a completely mish-mash piece?

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.
