KALEEKAL revisited conventional gender roles and interpreted them into a fluid collection in textiles made from organic natural fibers. Innovative techniques of zero waste pattern cutting, ethical fabrics, recycling, yarn repurposing were employed for the realisation of the collection.

THREE experimented with the beauty of imperfections in our lives presenting a wear for the woman who instead of rejecting their flaws, celebrates them. A play of colours, predominantly red and white, and multiple playful stripes makes these garments comfortable every day wear.

Kallol Datta 1955 stuck to his commitment towards trend free style that has been his hallmark from the very nascent stage of his label. He explored the validity of trending hashtag of sustainability by reinstating his allegiance to slow fashion.

Rasika attended the Sanjay Garg show wearing a slim-fit kurta and pants by the designer with a gold box clutch and cream t-strap sandals. While she looked lovely, I really wish she’d worn a pair of minimalist sandals with the separates. Even with that gorgeous color and pattern, my eyes went straight to the shoes, and that wasn’t a good thing.

Sanjay Garg’s show saw Mini front row wearing a white sari with a blue Sanjay Garg jacket. I didn’t mind the sari and jacket combo but the top knot is where this look stopped working on her. Wearing it like that made the look very desi-geisha-ish.

Just wearing her hair down naturally would’ve made this look feel more effortless than costumey. Agree?

Tillotama attended Sanjay Garg’s show on day two wearing a cream sari by the designer with a full-sleeved blouse. While I loved her hairdo and jewellery pick, I wasn’t feeling the same way about her blouse. Between the full-sleeves and the puffy shoulders, wasn’t a fan.

I also wish she’d worn delicate gold sandals instead of those chunky ones that she had on. Minor gripes but with a different blouse and sandal, this could’ve been an even more effective look. Yep, am in the nitpicking mode suddenly. 😛

Wearing Sanjay Garg, Tisca attended the designer’s show on day two of Lakme Fashion Week. Gold jhumkis, an oval minaudiere and Gucci slipon sandals finished out her look.

It was simple yet very effective look.
