There were goddess prints, mirror work, embroidery, fringes and floral motifs. Ritu Kumar’s collection in one part paid homage to the old world 20s glam, think ‘Gatsby’, and then in the latter part to the Caribbean Islands.
The clothes were often accented by use of mirror-work, embroidery or tonal thread-work. There were kaftans, sheath dresses, contemporary saris, casual day dresses and vibrant floral ones.
The cuts for the most part stayed fit, sharply tailored, more mature and narrow on the wear. The more elaborate floral gowns were more voluminous and vibrant.
