LFW Winter/Festive 2012: Ritu Beri
Lately, there’s a certain look Ms. Beri favors, always seemingly looking to the Victorian era for bit of an inspiration. And using some sort of head-gear or embellishment for the hair while styling models for the runway presentation. The designer’s stamp hasn’t escaped us.
This presentation saw a generous use of volume, lace and crochet. Rohit Bal’esque long, sweeping jackets and lace/crochet embellished denims (on trend with versions like those of distressed lace Balmains or more affordable Topshop or Vanessa Bruno ones already doing rounds) stood out (for reasons both good and bad). Minus the many accoutrements, there were a few designs we hope to see off-the-runway, like the yellow denims (more subtler of the ones presented) or those high-waisted printed shorts with the very feminine top.
