WLIFW Spring 2013: James Ferreira


James Ferreira is masterful at playing with drapes and some of the looks presented were a clear evidence of that. The soft subdued florals were interesting, as was the use of Indian kitsch. Most have the tendency to go the colorful, ott route when going kitschy, so this sure made for an interesting change. Where the designer did lose me, was over the striped designs. They just didn’t feel like they belonged in the same collection.

WLIFW Spring 2013: Atsu


Atsu’s was one of the strongest collections of the day. Young, chic and so fresh. Which reminds me… While referring to Carven as Fresh, Guillaume Henry (of Carven) elaborated on Fresh being not the question of age, but a question of identity in an interview. Perfectly put, don’t you think? And quite apt for Atsu too.

WLIFW Spring 2013: Rohit Gandhi And Rahul Khanna


Another strong collection from the designer duo. Loved it. Tasteful embellishment, texture-rich and chic silhouettes.

You just know the stylists are scrambling to get outfits put on hold for their clients. The centre dress with cut-outs in Row One has Poorna’s name practically written all over it!

WLIFW Spring 2013: Surily


Aztec prints, pops of neon, beaded/embellished pieces and fringe accents, Surily’s latest showing had ’em all. With its easy jumpsuits, dresses and separates, the collection is sure to be a favorite among the designer’s many celebrity friends.

While the collection was very commercial, it also felt hugely derivative of what’s already out there. The embellished aztec prints hint at All Saints, the tassel hem brings to mind Opening Ceremony, the fringe on printed dresses reminds one of Missoni and the chain-embellished tops say Malandrino. Just saying.
