Nimrita @ WIFW AW 12
Nimritas collection played with easy flowing silhouettes in satin and georgette in a burst of delicate and feminine colours such as lilac, mint, greys and off whites. Asymmetrical hems, one shoulders styles, palazzo pants and layering of fabrics were key features of the collection. Sequins were blended with satin to create a wearable yet glamorous ensemble and fur gillets added a unique touch to Nimritas effeminate collections. Our personal favourite was Nimritas take on a flapper dress inspired fringe maxi that came with a modern twist.
Bhanuni by Jyoti Sharma @ WIFW AW 12
This season Bhanuni by Jyoti Sharma gave us graphically and visually stimulating detailing with a feminine twist. Surface texturing was an integral part of the collection and translucent and opaque fabrics were blended beautifully into the garments. Greys, blacks, reds and maroons made for perfect choices for the autumn-winter range and winter floral motifs were the principle features from the collection. Power shoulders, shift dresses and modern age prom dresses on textured and printed fabrics featured extensively in Sharmas collection.
Ritu Pande @ WIFW AW 12
Feminine, dreamy and effortless is just how we would describe Ritu Pandes collection. Blacks, charcoal greys and rust reds formed the limited yet classic colour palette that the designer stuck to and the fabric of choice was by and large satin. Kimono style dresses, one shoulder drapes and toga style dresses featured in her collection and eye catching coloured circular embellishments gave the clothes a rather asian appeal. The silhouettes were simple – ones that can also be worn to work, and the collection so featured cute coloured belts that added the much-needed drama to the collection.
