LFW Winter/Festive 2012: Shivan & Narresh

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!

At the screening of a recent movie, it was Shivan & Narresh for Poorna. There’s no doubt she wears the gown well but having looked at images of others in attendance, Ms. Jagannathan sure stood out. Perhaps she mistook a ‘screening’ for a ‘premiere’? That said, like what you see?

For IIFA Rocks, these lovely ladies opted for saris (with a twist) on the Green Carpet.

Sameera’s look was perhaps my favorite! Loved the Rohit Bal sari paired with the Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna top. What we did have an issue with however, was Ms. Reddy’s make-up. Foundation trouble took away from an otherwise stellar look!

Bipasha-makes-me-regret-my-lunch-Basu no doubt has a spectacular body! Just wish it wasn’t so in our faces. We are big Shivan Narresh fans but this Green Carpet sighting is just not our cup of tea.

Nargis in her Anaikka came a close second to being our favorite. She looked great and that color is gorgeous on her! The only teeny gripe we had was with the gold cuff paired with all that gunmetal. Mixing metals is no longer a taboo but it just didn’t work in this case!

Green was the color of the day for Ms. Dhupia with her first attending Shilpa’s baby shower in a Marni for H&M dress and then a colorblocked Shivan & Narresh maxi. Oddly enough, it is her casual day look that we are loving a whole lot more. The night look wasn’t bad but just not as striking as the day look.

Got a favorite?
