We really enjoyed this collection of Nachiket’s. The collection was quintessentially “him” with all of his signature design elements in place and yet we have to mention how much more fresher and ‘sexier’ it was.

Absolutely loved the ‘laser-cut’ jackets and shrugs that were so structured and feminine. Can’t wait to see the red dress with the shoulder accent on someone soon.

Marchesa (2nd look), Balmain (3rd look), Bottega Veneta (4th look) and prom is what we drew from Riyaz by Riyaz Gangji’s latest collection which consisted of gowns predominantly in white. Pooja Bedi was the showstopper who wore a cream creation and while she herself looked great, the gown was anything but. Too prom-like.

Taking a huge departure from her usual aesthetic of flowy maxis, the resort collection of Babita Malkani consisted of fitted dresses and rompers in durri style weaves inspired by Bhutan. We were quite surprised because going in we expected to see another collection of maxis and kaftans in a mish-mash of prints and if you have been following us on Twitter, you know we loved it already.

From LIFW: Digvijay Singh for Bhusattva

We really enjoyed Digvijay’s collection especially since it followed Abdul’s. The simplicity of his clothes really stood out. Really enjoyed the cottons, textured sleeves, angrakha-style tops and interesting hemlines.

P.S. It was funny how the crowd seemingly came alive once Vivek took to the runway.

It was no surprise to have spotted Ms. Balan at the Sabyasachi show… We were told that Rani was slated to attend as well but she couldn’t make it having been caught up with her shooting schedule in Delhi.

During the post-show conference, found out that Vidya was wearing a cotton handloom sari from Bengal which she accessorized with some silver jewelry and an LV clutch…

Check out the video for Sabya’s take on Vidya…
