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.

The nomadic theme in Shruti Sancheti’s collection, “Thar“, was apparent right off the bat especially with the layering and the use of jewellery. Using Shibori tie/dye as a backdrop, the outfits were accentuated with Kutch stitchwork.

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?
