The dresses are longer, the skirts are A-lined and the trousers are cropped. Materials are a mixture of textures with knits and crochet, leather and suede – the chocolate brown suede shorts and jacket are key drifts. These rich textures are combined with denim – one of the star fabrics for spring summer.

Colours are a combination of muted pastel shades with pops of coral and indigo. Soft ruffle detailing and feminine prints, which take inspiration from the orient, create a seventies romantic bohemian look. Oversized peasant blouses are teamed with button front denim skirts and bell bottom jeans, matched with high platforms and felt hats creating a classic seventies silhouette.

For SS15 culottes are in pink leather and trousers are loose and wide – creating a new elegant shape. A fresh and modern feel updates this season’s Sports Luxe trend. Clean, simple lines create the look for the utility nineties inspired collection. Minimal boxy, cropped jackets in a variety of fabrics and textures – from neoprene to sheer and mesh – mixed with the cigarette trouser creates a sleek look.

Asymmetric tops and tunics add to the new season silhouette. Colour for this collection is exciting with poster paint shades of blue and green. Colour blocking leads the way – whilst the all-over whites we’ve seen in past seasons have returned. Florals are big and bold and are on full looks – on dresses and across short suits.

Rina Singh’s take on classic minimalism

Keeping in mind searing Indian summers, EKA by Rina Singh showcased an array of cotton ensembles in dull pastel hues at the Wills India Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2015. The cheerful, windswept collection comprised of layered tunics, shirt dresses and shift dresses. The line of outfits showed almost no traces of prints—this was a classic example of minimal fashion.

A light-hearted collection for women who wear their hearts on their sleeves, this collection portrayed a delicate mix of pastels and whites—a mélange of hand-woven textiles in contemporary day-wear avatar.

The clothes exuded simple tones of femininity. The easy styling, free flowing and soft textured silhouettes made the collection almost poetic. The interplay of delicate layers added to the charm of the outfits.

Subtle prints here and there added the right dose of whimsicality to the range—painterly floral, ombre-dyed hand-painted flowers, ditsy pixilated dots and prints, and manipulated floral dot prints, played peek-a-boo in layers of linens and cottons tinted in pastel palettes of sky blue, blush pink, minty green and lavender mixed with lightest of grays and whites.

 

Vaishali Shadangule for Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2014

Vaishali Shadangule

Inspired by the colourful life of the Rabari tribe, Vaishali Shadangule’s collection was named ‘Rabari’ at the Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2014 that revived all the magic, colour and style of the theme.

A collage of colours and patches formed an intricate pattern, while the clever mix of tradition and contemporary silhouettes added to the charm of the ensembles. From minis, maxis and ghagras, the look moved to lehengas and saris to add a fusion touch to the outfits. Bringing a unique blend of linen, silk, cotton yarns and jacquard weaves from Varanasi, Vaishali added jamdani from West Bengal for an amazing amalgamated offering. Colours were a symphony of hues with red, orange, pink, yellow, blue and gold being the basis for surface texturing in linen, wool and gold thread.

Opening with a blue will-power lean kurta and scarf, Vaishali took the show into a whole new rustic zone. Flared sheer peplum blouse, asymmetric dress with intense embroidered yoke, choli with extended front panel and a boxy one in orange with a matching sari created the perfect mix of east meets west.

Crinkle skirts were a favourite with Vaishali who had them emerging from under saris worn with a variety of cholis. Moving into rich offerings for the festive occasions, Vaishali had red and gold as the chosen duo for asymmetric top with crinkle red lehenga and the rich sari with gorgeous blouse. The designer celebrated the festive season fervor with riot of colours, weaves and textures, when her ‘Rabari’ collection created drama and style on the ramp.
