Considering wedding season is around the corner, be prepared to see a lot of wedding collections during LFW. Day one had Krishna Mehta and Soumitra Mondal presenting such collections.

Krishna Mehta presented a couture collection consisting of lehangas, jackets teamed with saris, and short dresses. Chikan work featured heavily as did sequins and embroidery on fabrics like georgette and jacquard. Like we said, with Diwali and wedding season coming up, there are sure to be many takers.

It’s hard to believe that Soumitra Mondal’s collection used khadi as the base fabric because each of the pieces thanks also to batik looked so pretty and rustic. The collection featured kurtas, lehengas that seemed not too bridal, which is always a good thing since you can wear it more often.

For her showing, Anita Dongre presented designs from both her labels, Interpret as well as, Timeless.

Anita Dongre Interpret showcased western silhouettes (top row) and though the styling brought a lot to these dresses, the outfits themselves (the solid colored dresses especially) weren’t our thing. Did we really need more ruched jersey dresses in the world?

Anita Dongre Timeless was all about the more traditional Indian silhouettes. In rich and earthy colors and prints, the clothes were easy on the eyes with some very wearable pieces.

The jewelry used for the runway show was by Amrapali. Can you say yummayy!

Continuing to play with the theme of ‘Maya‘, Asmita presented a part resort-part bohemian collection which though organic and easy, felt repetitive.

Sure, there were some very wearable separates but ’twas hardly a collection that excited. Back-to-back, same ol’-same ol’… Draw us a chair and call us disappointed will you?!
