LFW Winter/Festive 2010: Satya Paul

There were dresses, gowns, saris, lehengas, separates… Quite the extensive collection from Satya Paul. But that doesn’t mean they were all good.

Less said about the western-wear, the better. I hope to never see that rosette gown on a red carpet. Ever. The saris were pretty and wearable. We can’t help but wish the collection was better edited though, there is such a thing as one too many.

LFW Winter/Festive 2010: Babita Malkani

While we loved last collection of Babita’s, can’t quite say the same this time around. Where it was Bhutan that she drew inspiration from for her last collection, it was the mountains of Cappadocia (Turkey) this time around. Like it’s source of inspiration, the collection was all peaks and valleys for me. With not too many peaks at that. Barring an elusive few, the collection was drab and unimaginative.

P.S : Pooja Batra (top row, extreme left) walked for Babita.

LFW Winter/Festive: Ritu Kumar

My feelings for this collection were as mixed as the clothes shown as part of it. Ritu Kumar’s The Label (designed by Amrish Kumar) showcased dresses, separates and Indian-wear (like those lehengas) with a more contemporary twist.

The pieces that had Indian influences worked really well and, those lehengas (second row, right and extreme right images) especially stood out. The rest though were quite humdrum. This prêt line is as commercial as it gets with pieces ready to be worn right off the runway and we have no doubts they’d sell… But as far as the “design” part of it goes, there was nothing new on offer here. Did I already say humdrum?

LFW Winter/Festive 2010: Shrivannarresh

Shrivan Narresh’s collection almost had a sense of no-nonsense-I-mean-business sort of femininity. While the clothes seemed futuristic, the styling seemed retro (Hello turban/headgear!) and, while the exaggerated architectural elements screamed Jetsons, the swimsuits had one longing for the Riviera.

We quite like this designer duo and found their collection to be a great mix of ready-to-wear pieces and those perfect for Editorial shoots.

Same Ole’, Same Ole’

Where fashion is concerned, Priyanka’s pretty much still in her minis-with-sandals phase. In five appearances, she departed from the usual once (yes, yes we being a tad bit sarcastic!) by wearing a white romper with tan sandals, a look I quite liked. (Perhaps, because it wasn’t another dress.)

Just wish Ms. Chopra would take more risks when it came to fashion. At this point, it feels like am looking at a mannequin whose clothes are changed everyday. I say mannequin because even her hair stays the exact same for every appearance.

P.S. Priyanka is wearing the Louboutin Anna Strasse sandals in the first pic and the Jimmy Choo Glitter sandals in that last pic.
