WLIFW Spring 2013: Rahul Singh, Manish Gupta, Ritesh Kumar


Rahul Singh

In his collection, Rahul Singh used tie-dye to give his fabrics different patterns. The results while interesting definitely needed to be taken to the next level. The way the pieces were put together/styling seemed off too.

Manish Gupta

Titled ‘Primrose’, Manish Gupta’s collection as the name would suggest was influenced by the flower. In nudes and blush-pinks, the mood was soft for Sprig-Summer. Some of the looks, very wearable. But hardly exciting.

Ritesh Kumar

This was one of the collections that definitely stood out with its use of texture, color, layering and silhouettes. The dress on the far right with the sheer layered on jacket was among the favorites.

WLIFW Spring 2013: Preeti Jhawar, Rajdeep Ranawat, Abhi Singh


Multiple Fashion Weeks mean multiple designers get a chance to show their designing chops to the industry. Here’s your peek at three more designers…

Preeti Jhawar

Few wearable dresses aside, nothing really to gush over. Wasn’t especially fond of the Indian-wear presented.

Rajdeep Ranawat

Rajdeep Ranawat’s collection ‘Santorini’ like the name suggests, drew inspiration from the Mediterranean city. Digital prints of baroque influences, florals and the city itself were used throughout the collection. The collection may have checked all the right boxes in the inspiration check-list but the collection didn’t evoke any of the romanticism that the city does.

Abhi Singh

Inspired by ‘Monolithic Skyscrapers’, Abhi Singh presented a collection that was draped, contoured and heavy on the fringe.

WLIFW Spring 2013: Soltee By Sulakshana Monga, Divyam Mehta, Prama By Pratima Pandey


Here’s a quick peek at three designers from WLIFW…

Soltee By Sulakshana Monga

Am sure to some, this collection may just be what they were on the look out for. To others, not so much. Like me. Borrowed from Project Runway, I have only two words- Questionable taste.

Divyam Mehta

Divyam Mehta’s collection had some dresses and separates in a monochromatic color palette with crochet appliqué as accents. Wearable, yes. Impressive, not very.

Prama By Pratima Pandey

The use of prints, fabrics and layering, it was all interesting. I quite liked this collection, both for its earthy appeal and wearability.

In Surily


Having walked the runway for Surily at the recently concluded WLIFW, we aren’t suprised to see Sarah Jane wear one of Surily’s maxis at a recent event. She looked cute.

WLIFW Spring 2013: Shivan & Narresh


Inspired by the work of abstract expressionist painter Barnett Newman, Shivan and Narresh presented a collection that was color-blocked perfection. No-fuss, very sleek and, just the right nod to Fifties and Sixties without getting too costume-y or gimmicky. Not much to dislike about this collection.
