WLIFW: Niki Mahajan


Niki Mahajan’s collection used the western silhouette with a strong Indian influence in design and print that was hard to miss. While there was a lot of color, it was never overwhelming, most of its use stayed toned down and muted.

There were pleated dresses with jeweled accents, bubble hem dresses and quilted jackets. There was an emphasis at the sleeves which were very constructed and necklines were varied through the collection.

WLIFW: Deepika Govind


Deepika Govind’s collection had two themes that she brought together, ‘Conference Of The Birds’ and ‘Concert Of The Sea’.

The collection used a lot of color, greens, blues and reds and in fact, red was often used to accentuate other outfits as well, especially the ones in black and self-print ones. There was layering of textures and prints and trims were quite liberally used to accentuate the clothes. The jackets especially had that natural hand-woven feel which was further accentuated by an interesting use of color.

WLIFW: Gaurav Gupta


Gaurav Gupta’s collection had both menswear as well as evening and day for women and the colors stayed predominantly muted whether smokey greys and greens, indigo or matte golds and coppers.

The crepes, chiffons, silks and satin were draped and molded, the jackets were structured, there was a play on symmetry, rather asymmetry and the menswear was extremely structured and the play on deconstruction was evident.

WLIFW: Samant Chauhan


Samant Chauhan’s collection was earthy with the color palette staying beige, brown or nude with a good measure of metallic silver-grey mixed in.

There were sheath dresses, tunics, skirts, tailored jackets, sequinned cardigans and narrow trousers. The silhouettes were for the most part sophisticated.
