Sophie showed her support at Falguni-Shane Peacock’s fashion show by wearing an edgy dress by the designer duo. Unfortunately, am not feeling the look. The dress itself was nice, but the gold pumps and the bright red nails felt out of place.

Not much that was fresh or innovative…

The play between masculine and feminine was a tad lost in translation…

S&N Drape By Shantanu And Nikhil, WLIFW A/W 2011
S&N Drape was silk-jersey heavy in body con silhouettes. Like the name suggests, the dresses played on ‘drape’. The vibe was young and perfect ones likely to party hardy!

Love the print with those roses. Love.

Mrinalini, WLIFW A/W 2011
Clever use of textures and interesting silhouettes made this collection stand out.

Asymmetry dominated this collection. Flowey fits and handkerchief hems made for some interesting dresses.

James Ferreira did what he does best, deconstructed, beautifully draped, sharply tailored clothes.

Sequins, embellishments, Miu Miu’esque bejeweled socks and dark, strong evening-wear silhouettes. We are bound to see a lot of these off the runway!
|
Small Shop, WLIFW A/W 2011
Playful and interesting silhouettes stood out in this collection…
|
Sonam Dubal, WLIFW A/W 2011
The more Indian designs fared a lot better over the western silhouettes in this collection…

Tanvi Kedia, WLIFW A/W 2011
Bright, wearable, commercial and fun clothes. But definitely more Resort than A/W.

Walnut By Nidhi And Divta Gambhir, WLIFW A/W 2011
The head-pieces stole the show!

Pratima Pandey, WLIFW A/W 2011
Tad repetitive. And besides, a lot of times it just felt more shabby than shabby-chic.
|
Gayatri Khanna, WLIFW A/W 2011
Safe, commercial silhouettes and very wearable separates. Do like the evening dresses with the beaded details.

This undoubtedly was one of our favorites from the day. Strong silhouettes, well-crafted and just plain beautiful clothes. Impeccable and oh-so-chic. The dresses and coats were fab, and the pieces in cerulean’ish blue certainly stood out!

The theme of Rahul Singh’s collection, Sea of Science, was made evident by the use of only blue and white as the color scheme. But, the designer didn’t let the two colors at hand limit the possibilities. There were plenty of tunics, dresses and separates presented in chiffon and satin.

Saaj By Ankita’s collection was a tribute to Ladakh. While the craftwork may have been more Ladakh oriented, we saw a lot of traditional dance costume influences in the collection with the fan-shaped pleats and the use of bordered fabrics appearing in multiple outfits. Would be really interested in seeing someone wear one these off the runway.

Sonia Jetleey’s collection Pot Pourri started with a model wearing a “Baroque is in style” tee. What followed were long skirts, jodhpur pants, kaftans, tunics and even a sari with baroque motifs. Also part of the collection were vegetable tanned handbags and boots. With the added ombre-effect, some of the outfits felt too busy.

Zurhke by Rajdeep Ranawat & Naresh Chauhan , WLIFW Autumn/Winter 2011
Moulin Rouge was the theme of Preeti Chandra’s collection that consisted of voluminous skirts, one-shoulder dresses and gowns and jumpsuits with trains. There was a bit of old world glamor infused in the collection by way of long gloves, tiaras and lace but one could not help but see a lot of borrowed ideas, especially in the white gown that was very reminiscent of Dolce & Gabbana.

Simple shift dresses made interesting by way of quilting, floral embellishment and color-mixing marked Zubair Kirmani’s collection. In keeping with the winter theme, black was the base color used through-out.
