Fash spell back with a bang: Swish and stylish set in Mumbai
Fashion season in the country kick-started with Lakme Fashion Week's celebratory bash in Mumbai on Thursday night.
Designers, models, photographers and members of the fashion fraternity have made their way to Mumbai to attend the feted five-day event.
Thursday evening saw the swish set get together at F Lounge and Bar for a night of fun and festivity. Come Friday morning, it was back to business at fashion week.
The event opened with the popular Gen Next show that featured new and upcoming faces in the world of fashion. The line-up included aspiring debutant designers Asa Kazingmei, Kavita Sharma, Aniket Satam, Richa Agarwal, Mehak Pruthi, Kanika Seth, Ankit Sharma and Sneha Arora.
As expected, the show had a combination of quirky garments, innovative designs and ethnic influences. The various themes ranged from 'Avatars' to 'Immortals', from 'earthy' to 'rebirth', from 'intellectual' to 'apocalypse.' Avant garde designs, idiosyncratic outfits, tribal prints, homage to traditional wear, simple silhouettes to constructed creations, neon colours and digital prints - all had a spot on the runway.
Next with her debut solo show at the event was Delhibased designer Pia Pauro. The young and feminine collection titled 'Espiritu de Mexico,' celebrated the spirit of Mexico with a showcase of colourful and fun ensembles that had an air of merry making and a carefree Acapulco vibe. Reminiscent of 1970's glamour, the chic and sexy outfits were tailor-made for the party girl who knows how to let her hair loose and have a good time.
From shimmering jumpsuits to figure-hugging dresses, the flirtatious line featured exotic prints inspired by beaches of Tulum and the rainforests. With actress Monica Dogra closing her show, Pauro also set the 'celebrity showstopper' trend in motion.
Designer Nandita Thirani offset Pauro's collection with a presentation of her traditional wear and feminine ready-to-wear collection. Anarkali suits, Maharaja coats, saris and dhoti pants were crafted in a colour palette dominated by shades of wine and creams
