For his Spring collection, Prabal Gurung drew inspiration from artist Anish Kapoor. Here’s your look at his presentation… Like what you see?

India sure is the toast of Spring ’13. While Marchesa and Vera Wang drew inspiration from India in New York, Matthew Williamson referenced the country in his collection presented during London Fashion Week.
Prints referencing Holi, Nehru jackets (in tweed), embellishments and embroidery, saturated colors… His nod to his inspiration was hard to miss. All while the collection was quintessentially Matthew Williamson.
My favorite(s)? All of Row One.

Bibhu Mohapatra delivered another collection that was rich in cocktail and evening-wear. And we are bound to have celeb sightings in a dress or two. Our favorites however were the printed pieces. A print that referenced a butterfly’s metamorphosis and use of rich saturated color to offset it (the print) was a hit. Love that entire Row Two.

Marchesa wasn’t the only one to draw its inspiration from India for Spring 2013. Vera Wang did too, in a far more subtler way however. By way of colors, textures, fabrics and technique, the collection referenced India.
Loved the Chantilly lace, sheer-hem dresses; those gorgeous lil’ numbers need to be seen on this side of the pond.

We’d been waiting eagerly for the Spring 2013 Marchesa presentation ever since we saw their moodboard here that hinted at an Indian theme. The collection didn’t disappoint one bit. Dresses that used brocade fabric were left simple and free of embellishment and likewise heavily beaded dresses were kept simple at the fabric level. Subtle use of draping inspired by saris, separates resembling lehangas and churidaars-suit ensembles dominated.
We wouldn’t blame you for drawing parallels to the Chanel Pre-fall 2012 collection or for that matter Dior’s Fall 2009 collection, but we think Marchesa brought its own voice to the collection, one that we liked.
