Inspired by the work of abstract expressionist painter Barnett Newman, Shivan and Narresh presented a collection that was color-blocked perfection. No-fuss, very sleek and, just the right nod to Fifties and Sixties without getting too costume-y or gimmicky. Not much to dislike about this collection.

Kama Sidhu worked her Stella McCartney sheath dress while hosting an event for Van Heusen. A Shivan & Narresh necklace and Christian Louboutin ankle-strap sandals completed her look. Looked good!

Shazahn opted for a Shivan & Narresh gown at the GQ Awards paired with a Gucci clutch and accessories by Amrapali and Siddhartha Arya.
It was great to see her in something other than a short cocktail dress and here’s hoping she avoids them going forward. As for her look, a smaller clutch and pulled back hair would’ve showcased the chevron detailed gown better, don’t you think? What say?

At the ongoing Fashion Week, designer duo Shivan and Narresh presented their Resort 12-13 line titled ‘Equus’. And like the name suggests, the theme was continually referenced. Braided detail referencing a horse’s mane, a geometric zebra print providing respite to a monochromatic look, colors mimicking the mammals’ skin sheen and tassels like those used on Royal horses all were there.
Shivan and Narresh have made a name for themselves in the Resort-wear world and understandably so. The lines are clean and the silhouettes, non-fussy. And while they continue to stick to color-blocking and a geometric sense of aesthetic, it doesn’t really feel tired or old. Loved the sari and the charcoal-grey dress. The absolute favorite though was the chartreuse and black dress (third row, extreme right) which we are bound to see off-the-runway, and soon.

Both Anushka and Sameera were in attendance at the Shivan Narresh showing wearing designs that were presented as part of that very collection. While both ladies wear their outfits of choice well, special mention to Sameera who looked fantastic!
