The Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2008 opened with Vikram Phadnis’ collection. Blues, olives, peaches and pastels made up the color palette and ‘metallic’ continued to make its presence felt even into Fall.

The skirts and dresses were ruched and the volume came from tule! You couldn’t miss the opaque tights, a Fall staple as far as I am concerned and there was a lot of layering! Embellished garments go from Spring to Fall and like metallics, seem to be a trend thats going to stick for a while!

Continuing ‘From The Archives’ refrain…

Looks like Shilpa Shetty didn’t escape the shutterbugs catching her repeat outfits a time or two…

We aren’t complaining, we love fodder like this!

Rohit Bal closed the fashion week this year and his collection called ‘Siyahi’ was truly fitting the finale.

The way the colors progressed during the show were really interesting, there were ecrus and whites, and shades of blues and greens. The cuts and designs ranged from flowy fabrics to origami-like folds to heavily puffed skirts to ultra structured jackets and sherwanis for men and women…

The design was varied and the collection had a bit of everything.

Day 5: Prriya and Chintans

Prriya and Chintan’s collection just plain failed to impress me. The duo supposedly have drawn inpiration from “Oasis” but I just fail to get it though. The clothes seems to be haphazard and frazzled with just too many things going on. The color scheme just seemed all wrong for a show that is supposed to suggest tranquility in the midst of a harsh desert.

Day 5: Falguni And Shane Peacock

I really liked Falguni and Shane Peacock’s collection. The colors were bright, prints were delightful, embellishments were well thought out and the cuts worked. The collection was a smorgasbord of luxurious fabrics, prints, colors and textures!

I didn’t care for the longer gowns, but the shorter ones and the tops worked! Sure, some pieces were OTT but they were OTT in a kitschy way so I can’t really complain.

What I can’t get over is our Bollywood obsession. Amrita Arora walked the ramp. In some monstrosity. Looking quite out of her element and trying way too hard. Do people still say ‘whatever’ ? Because, I’d like to. Whatever.

Barring the celeb intrusion, loved the show.
