LFW Winter/Festive 2010: Krishna Mehta & Soumitra Mondal


Considering wedding season is around the corner, be prepared to see a lot of wedding collections during LFW. Day one had Krishna Mehta and Soumitra Mondal presenting such collections.

Krishna Mehta presented a couture collection consisting of lehangas, jackets teamed with saris, and short dresses. Chikan work featured heavily as did sequins and embroidery on fabrics like georgette and jacquard. Like we said, with Diwali and wedding season coming up, there are sure to be many takers.

It’s hard to believe that Soumitra Mondal’s collection used khadi as the base fabric because each of the pieces thanks also to batik looked so pretty and rustic. The collection featured kurtas, lehengas that seemed not too bridal, which is always a good thing since you can wear it more often.

Krishna Mehta: LFW Spring Summer/Resort 2010


I struggled for a bit whether this review should be about just the clothes or the showstopper. On one hand, clothes should be the main subject but when the showstopper is sent out in a god-awful gown that doesn’t fit right with ghastly black clogs, how can one ignore. That is what happened when Rohit Verma walked down the runway for designer Krishna Mehta’s collection inspired by the musical ‘Irma La Douce’. Not only was what he wore hideous but his constant posing at the end of the runway took all attention away from the collection. A far cry from the graceful Queen Harish for Lecoanet-Hemant.

As for the collection, it was presented as a mix and match one marked by separates like jackets with dresses, tops with shorts/capri pants in abstract prints served up in cotton, silk and some velvet. Some of the separates (like the tie/dye jacket eyed by Shraddha Kapoor and the tie/dye shorts and dresses) stood out but most others (like the dresses) were very seen-it-before.

Of Wishlists!


Krishna Mehta’s front-row saw Shradha Kapoor taking in the show. We couldn’t help but notice her check out a particular jacket with much interest as it sashayed down the runway past her and she confirmed she loved that particular piece. We asked her if we’d see it on her soon and she just said “Maybe” with a smile.

It was a beautiful jacket and it’d be great to have a “spotting”!

In Threes


While most designers use one (or two) main showstopper(s), designer Krishna Mehta seems to have a thing for three.

At the Gitanjali Luxury Style Fest, she had three ladies (see here) walk for her and for her menswear line, she went with (no points for guessing) three men.

So is three really a crowd? Not in Krishna’s world, for sure! ;)
