WLIFW: Payal Jain
Payal Jain’s collection was called ‘Black Earth’ and had a color palette that seemed to have taken its cue from nature itself, lots of earthy browns, rusty red-browns, winter white and stone greys.
Capes featured predominantly in the collection as did jackets, wide necklines and houndstooth. Embellishment and embroidery were used to accent the pieces.
love the cuts and the choice of colors! very chic, very much a city-girl look!
The beanies, scarves, boots, gloves and prints, plus the 60s type poncho style flared out coats highlight the collection. The prints help the simple silhouettes work. I like all the coats, which look fun and cosy. I also like the second last wool knitted dress, which would be blissful in winter, both warmth/comfort and style wise.
Ponchos were in two years back….nothing new there, and it is not making a revival. an inconsistant design sense, good cuts, not necessarily good fabric, too busy.
