Day 3: Rabani And Rakha


The collection put forth by Rabani and Rakha was exquisite and quite timeless. The color palette stayed dominated by creams, whites and beiges though they did have a sequence in black and another one with more metallic mauve’ish hues. My favorite in this collection had to be the saris. The intricate and often elaborate detailing and craftsmanship on those saris just pops at you. And the best part is, they are quite timeless in their appeal, so you know, when you buy something like this, its going to be around for a long, long time! Forget the saris, they even managed to pull of some long evening gowns with just the right amount of work, to give it, its healthy dose of chic! And that doesn’t happen everyday!

Day 3: Prashant Verma


What happens when you throw pop-culture, drama, old-world-glam, new-world-modernism, and attitude into one melting pot? You get Prashant Verma’s collection, but of course!

The collection seemed fit for a starlet or a woman who walks into a room to own it! It had ‘Diva’ written all over it! The designs were bold, in your face and for no wallflower! It was innovative and kitschy at its best! I loved his play on classic lines of evening-wear!

I might not necessarily rush out to buy his clothes, but am sure as hell going to be enjoying them!

Day 3: Gauri Bajoria


Gauri Bajoria’s collection titled Hiji Biji (Bengali phrase for ‘ haphazard’) was absolutely delightful. The collection was marked by colors that were all matte, muted, understated and almost candied variations of the original colors! The collection had a little bit of everything and radiated easy sophistication for daytime glam!

My favorites had to be the blue, green dress and the grey sari with the checkered border!

Nice.

Day 3: Elisha W


The collection by Elisha W was called Viva De Glam and while glam it was, it missed the year by a bit! A bit being decades,it seemed more like a blast from the sixties! See, thats the thing with doing evening wear, its so easy to get carried away with yards of fabric and shimmer that it just ends up looking like ‘Barbie goes to prom’ way back when!

Though not the entire collection could be written off, when Elisha W was restrained, she came up with the best designs. How delectable is that dress in pink and cream with detailing on the neck or even that dress in mauve with pleating and chord detail? Most of the short dresses worked. Even the saris looked good! As for everything else…

If Elisha W learns to edit herself a little more, she definitely has potential. As for me, am just a bit blinded for now!

Day 2: Ranna Gill


Ranna Gill for this collection of hers drew inspiration from Havana and its easy to see how! Her clothes had that retro colorful vibe and the designs screamed vintage… And the sense of ‘fun’ never really goes away and that screams ‘Havana’ to me!

While some pieces were serious design, and you know they’d sell fast and quick, there were others which were just really fun and all inspiration! She didn’t take herself too seriously and played up the theme really well!

I thought the prints were great!The colors were rich and vibrant and the detailing was understated but really well executed! How great was the belt detailing on those fabulous, printed swimsuits? The dresses all had interesting hemlines and detailed necklines which really set them apart! And I loved the scallop detailing that made its way here and there on a dress or two or or on a top, now and then! Oh, and a mention goes out for the way she used ‘floral’, discreet without being over the top! All, good design!
