How can White look so goood on one, and so very Not on the other?
Where do we even begin with Sindura’s look… with the horrid top or the worse shoes?

The saris in Sashikant Naidu’s collection were beautiful. Soft, fluid and so feminine. The hand painted motifs in the kalamkari form on the more organic color palette of the line really stood out. The dresses weren’t as impressive as the saris barring a kaftan dress or two but the saris themselves more than made up for it.

Asmita Marwa, Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2010
After having been blown away by Asmita’s previous collections, especially with her use of Kalamkari and more recently, the Telugu script in the previous collection, this particular one came as a colossal disappointment.
Sure, there were some very wearable separates but the collection got repetitive at one point. Asmita stuck to her signature look of easy flowing organic maxis, jumpsuits and separates but there really was nothing that stood out except for the jackets.
Lots of checks, rose appliques, tie-dye, colors like blues and reds juxtaposed with white made up Asmita Marwa’s boho resort collection titled, “Maya 0° 36’0”S/73° 6’0”E” which left us with a feeling of, “haven’t we seen this before?”.

After Adhuna, we spotted Amala wearing a kalamkari dress/tunic from Asmita’s Fall 08 collection. It doesn’t surprise us to see her don fellow Hyderabadi’s clothes especially considering Asmita styles her husband (Nagarjuna) in almost all of his movies. What does surprise us however is that we haven’t seen Amala wear more of her! :p
While we love the tunic/dress, we do wish Amala paired it with a different set of pants. The beige totally washes out the print and makes it all fall flat.
On an aside, Asmita’s Fall 08 collection with all of its stunning kalamkari pieces has been one of our favorites from all that we’ve seen of the designer, and though the collection may be seasons old, the work/craftsmanship itself is timeless and we can’t wait for more celebs to discover/be spotted in it.

After wearing a beautiful Kalamkari outfit from Asmita’s Fall 08 collection, Adhuna this time chose an easier, more organic piece from the designer’s Spring 09 collection in colors that the designer herself seems rather fond of.
It’s not a dress we’d wear or even appreciate much but can see how it’d appeal or fit into someone like Adhuna’s sense of style going by her choices over the past few appearances. Having said that, we still do wish she skipped the scarf and chose a different pair of sandals. These seem way too over-bearing for that whole earthy, easy vibe the dress exudes (for some).

Doesn’t take much imagination to put Fall and Plaid together but we love how Asmita incorporated plaid into saris and churidaars! And love the Telugu script on those pants and shirts. Now that she’s done it, we can’t imagine why it wasn’t ever done before. Love.
