High Point: Flowy numbers .
Low Point: Reminded me of some of Gauri and Nainika’s older collection! And that “face” thing!
Priyanka Says
High Point: Loved the use of color and print.
Low Point: Repetitive silhouettes, still hung-over from the last collection, needs to get over the self-image (the face) print!

High Point: Very wearable! Loved the menswear too!
Low Point: None really..
Priyanka Says
High Point: Could wear those pieces off the runway, into everyday life!
Low Point: An extremely commercial collection, not necessarily a bad thing but wish there were at least some pieces that showcased the creativity of designer no holds barred.

High Point: The whole dark color schemes with the burst of color was nice.
Low Point: Some of the silhouettes I didn’t care for.
Priyanka Says
High Point: Loved the harlequin interpretation. Also, it was interesting to finally see menswear that was exciting yet not too over the top.
Low Point: Women’s wear was boring and unimaginative.

High Point: What’s not to love! I so want the “ki farak painda” shirt!
Low Point: None!
Priyanka Says
High Point: Loved the use of color and graphics. So street chic!
Low Point: Camouflage is too red-neck’ey and white trash’ey unless someone is really in the army. Even in its inventive form. No. No. No.

High Point: Liked the saris and the jackets. The jackets had a very khadi feel to em.
Low point: The pants..not digging at all..
Priyanka Says
High Point: The jackets, love, love, love. Very earthy, organic, and so structured. The day dresses with the red accents were a hit too.

Payal Says
High Point: Loved the outfits with the rust colors..
Low Point: Same old tried and tested designs…
Priyanka Says
High Point: The play on Indian print on western silhouette worked.
Low Point: Was boring and safe, there was nothing new about it and could have been from any season before and not in a ‘classic’, ‘timeless’ way either!

High Point: The brass lamps and dancing!
Low Point: Same as the last collection.
Priyanka Says
High Point: Classic Indian design, prints and silhouettes with clean, minimal design that make them timeless. Love the jackets over saris.
Low Point: Needs to move away from jeweled prints and accents. It’s a signature look and all that, so do a few pieces and move on. Really.

Payal Says
High Point: Loved the blues and mirrorwork..
Low Point: While I loved the kali print top, reminds me so much of Manish Arora!
Priyanka Says
High Point: Loved the day dresses and skirts in creams, whites and blues. Also, the kali print tops.
Low Point: The floral print dresses were a big let down as were the kaftans. Even the day wear fared better only in comparison, the collection in itself was disappointing.
