Day 1: Payal Jain


For me, this show of Payal Jain’s was very bleh. The models were styled the same old boring way and while I can appreciate the craftsmanship that might have gone behind the clothes, thats where it ends for me. There was just a bit too much smocking and embroidery going on! The dresses at times were gathered and billowing, smocked and embroidered all at one time to a not so great end result! The show did have a feminine, whimsical vibe, even victorian at times.. I guess thats her way of interpretting, ‘ultra-feminine’, I don’t know!

But am not totally dismissing the show, the collection had its high points..some individual pieces were fabulous like those ‘achkan’ inspired tops!

Day 1: Rajesh Pratap Singh


Day one of the Fashion Week seems to have gotten off to a great start! Below are a few pictures from the Rajesh Pratap Singh Show and all in all, there was a lot to like in his collection!

I absolutely adored the whites.. I can see pret lines flying off the shelves when they hit the stores! Loved the infusion of color with appliqués, subtle geometric lines at the waist or with happy polka dots!

Navy was the dominating hue for the next sequence with printed tops and dresses! Those too were fabulous! Often the outfits were accessorized with dramatic oversized flowers in contrasting colors and that was a brilliant touch. And I spotted red patent bags on the runway! Looks like that trend is going to be around for a while..

Before you think, the entire show had me gushing, that was not to be! I didn’t care for the evening/metallic sequence much. The geometric prints in metallic undertones, in shades of blue, just didn’t do it for me.. However, the more subtler pieces were great!

The models were styled well too. Subtle clean make-up, piled, messy uo-dos. Nice. All in all, a fresh, clean line. I liked it. Didn’t make me go wow. But I liked it.
