Day 2: Darshta Sarvaiya

Darsha Sarvaiya’s collection was inspired by ‘ Great Expectations’, it must be me, because I fail to draw the inspiration as translated into clothes by her!

The runway was a riot of colors, even shimmer at times and the models were styled with great big flowers on their heads, often in contrasting colors, for me, resembling plumage on an exotic tropical bird!

The colors, the styling, all drew attention away from the clothes! That might have been a good thing, because I was looking and didn’t find anything noteworthy!

Day 2: Vikram Phadnis

This is what I have been saying all along, give me a fresher perspective, give me a new twist, give me something that makes me sit back and go, yes, thats it! Vikram Phadnis does all that and then some! Color palette was brilliant, earthy browns and beiges, matt gold, deep burgundy, shimmery-gold-yellow and a metallic dust there, a shimmer here! He not only played with colors but also with textures! If there was a flowy dress, there was a quilted bolero jacket on top of it! And how fabulous is that yellow/gold dress? I loved the wide belts and structured embellished jackets!

And pay attention to the way the models were styled. Make-up was minimal, bare and fresh! Lips were light and eyes were not laden down! A trend am seeing in most shows!

Uber sexy. Uber glamorous! Loved the collection!

Day 1: Rina Dhaka

I expected to be wowed by Rina Dhaka’s collection. It fell short by a bit! I enjoyed it, was pleasant, light, summery, fun and fresh! But found it quite lacking in imagination and newer perspective! Having said that, let me give you a blow by blow, of all that worked!

Colors were great, again those whites and sober metallics, blues, greens and pinks and sheer prints once again made an appearance! Prints, now thats a trend thats going to be big in Spring/Summer 2008, I predict!

I adored those long skirts and dresses in georgettes and chiffons..they had such a feminine, soft and flirty vibe without going overboard! And those short day dresses in blues, pinks and peachy/oranges? They screamed ‘young’ and ‘summer’! Also, I especially liked the long embellished sheer tunics teemed with capris!

But here’s the thing, there was not much to dislike in the collection because it was so safe. And then again, there wasn’t much to ‘wow’, because it was so safe!

Day 1: Shantanu And Nikhil

It doesn’t happen that often but when it does, it happens with a blow! Am in love. Every outfit, every accessory, every ribbon, every detailing! Shantanu and Nikhil’s collection was absolutely on the money! Their collection was called, ‘Banaras Boulevard’ but for me it just seemed like an updated version of Retro French Riviera! Buttery yellows, warm yellows, sunny yellows and pale yellows dominated the collection, now and then, offset by white perhaps!

The dresses were très chic and fabulous! For the champagne-brunching set, this collection will soon find its way into their wardrobes in a heartbeat! And those tops.. brilliant. Never overboard, just enough craftsmanship to make it stand out and just enough understated detailing to give it, its chic-appeal! And that puffed, bubble hem dress with the jacket? Priceless.

Loved the way the models were styled; make-up, hair, shoes, white-rimmed shades and oversized bags were spot on!

I tried really hard to find one thing to dislike. But couldn’t. The collection was young, chic, tasteful, fresh and perfect!

Fashion Bliss.
