    Megha Bansal's collection

    It was a celebration of dreams from the creative design studios of Megha Bansal when she unveiled her Khwaab – Khawaishyon Ka Shamiyana at Lakme Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI.

    Megha Bansal has been in the couture realm for several years when her label has created the most show stopping outfits. This season, her collection paid homage to the skills and crafts of artisans whose expert hands have created fabulous patterns to embellish her work. From traditional Indian wear, Megha’s fashion sensibilities moved to fusion ensembles that catered to the bridal and formal wear buyers.

    The beauty of Indian crafts came alive as the geometry of Mughal jaalis, which were reimagined as contemporary patterns and weaves. The sleeves were stunning eye-catchers, while necklines were daring and delightfully dramatic, as they added grandeur to the ensembles.

    The hand embroidery sparkled on luxurious silks to create the perfect after dark creations. The dazzling lehenga, choli, dupatta trios vied for attention on the ramp, in colours that were not only eye-catching but visions of ethereal beauty. The fusion looks were ideal for formal soirées, while the majestic gowns and dramatic saris completed the look.

    The gorgeous Shilpa Shetty, looked sensational as she glided down the runway in a soft, pink lehenga and a tiny choli with sheer yoke and long-sleeves. For added drama the long, sheer never-ending trail attached at the back completed the glam look.

    For women who long for couture of an unconventional kind that reflects the glory and beauty of Indian crafts, the Khwaab – Khawaishyon Ka Shamiyana by Megha Bansal, offered all the shimmer and style to celebrate the festive season.

    Salita Nanda’s weightless forms merged cleverly with structured silhouettes 

    Salita Nanda's collection

    Salita Nanda has a solid design foundation. A graduate from the London College of Fashion and a trained pattern maker from the Milan Fashion Campus in Italy, Salita’s collection had that great vibrancy of colours, prints and designs at Lakm? Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI.

    Salita unveiled her first capsule collection in 2015 at the Lakmé Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2015 season during the GenNext show. Since then, she has never looked back and created an innovative fashion empire. From Paris Fashion Week to Dubai and Hong Kong, Salita has exhibited her designing skills around the world.
    Her latest collection Cielo was inspired by the timeless song ll Cielo in Una stanza (the sky in a room). Bold prints have been the leitmotif of Salita’s collections, and this season too, they appeared as hand painted prints. The ensembles were dreamt up in the most gorgeous sheer fabrics that shimmered on the runway.

    The delicate weightless silhouettes, at times, were contrasted on the ramp with structured form fitted shapes that were feminine to the core. Swirling robes and capes covered the stylishly created ensembles like pants, tops, skirts and maxis. The unusual robe with billowing sleeves over sheer loose pants, loose trenches and over printed ensembles brought a versatile appeal to the line. Salita’s treatment was an amalgamation of artistic prints and solids that will undoubtedly appeal to trendy dressers. Salita also offered a wide spectrum of options that would make the festive wardrobe the perfect blend of vintage dressing and contemporary styles.

    The three men’s wear entries followed the theme of the show. The shirts, trousers and covers were splashed with the colourful prints that are Salita’s trademark.

    The Cielo collection from the studios of Salita Nanda, displayed fashion that will enchant women who want to make strong, striking, sartorial statements.

    Romaa Agarwal unveiled a floral inspired celebratory collection 

    Romaa Agarwal collection

    The label Romaa by Romaa Agarwal has been in the forefront of the bridal and formal wear industry. Her glam fashions have appealed to women who appreciate the glory of Indian crafts and textiles. Romaa’s latest collection, Aheli at Lakme Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI, was all about celebrations during the festive soirées.

    The collection was a scintillating story of pure, lush silk fabrics that were merged with the sheer beauty of tulle to create the floral inspired garments. As Romaa’s creativity spanned a wide spectrum, there was a delicate visual play of petals for detailing in soft gentle hues, which projected a gentle nuance. Pretty, feminine pastels and ivory silks were turned into the backdrop for the swaying floral motifs. The layered tulle and the delicate petals that adorned the ensembles, created a dreamlike quality. The zardozi and Cut Dana embroidery glistened on the dramatically styled ensembles.

    Traditional craftsmanship and silhouettes was cleverly reimagined as the creations offered a varying choice from concept saris to regal kurta sets, and from bridal lehenga, choli, dupatta sets to fusion ensembles. The list was long and luxurious to suit all fastidious buyers.

    The Aheli collection was all about glamour that moved from daytime chic to bridal splendour and then onto stunning floor kissing gowns and formal wear for evening soirées under the moonlight.

    The Aheli show was stopped by lovely Bollywood beauty Diana Penty who walked gracefully down the ramp in a pale, pink lehenga worn with a bralette that revealed the most intricate strappy back.

    Romaa Agarwal’s label Romaa offered an innovative unconventional line of sartorial options with the “Aheli” collection that will thrill women when they go for their festive celebrations.

  • Logitech X Saaksha & Kinni collaboration at the Lakme Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI was a stylish union of fashion and technology

    Logitech X Saaksha & Kinni collaboration at the Lakme Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI was a stylish union of fashion and technology

    Mumbai: The association of Logitech with designers Saaksha & Kinni for the collection “Prism” was a celebration of style and technology with geometry, colour, and mirrors forming a perfect amalgamation at the Lakmé Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI.

    In a creative confluence of fashion and technology, popular actress and fashion icon Sobhita Dhulipala walked the ramp as the showstopper for Logitech X Saaksha & Kinni. Sobhita flaunted Logitech’s popular POP Keyboard as an accessory to sport her bold and experimental look from the “Prism” collection at the show.

    Talking about the collaboration, Logitech India country head Srinivas Rao Vishnubhotla said, “After two successful collaborations with Lakmé Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI, we are excited to associate with them once again. This year was all about accentuating the bold aesthetics of our studio series through the signature vibrant and stimulating sensibilities of the dynamic duo Saaksha & Kinni. Today’s millennials and gen-z’s seek style, design, and self-expression as part of their daily activities, and technology has become a reflection of their identity. Hence, Logitech is committed to innovating technology that is playful, chic, colourful, and bold. For young people and working professionals who are constantly on the lookout for creative, productive, and unique tech solutions, our accessories help in making a bold statement.”

    This creative confluence of fashion and technology between Saaksha & Kinni and Logitech was a celebration of a hybrid future of work lifestyle to make “work from anywhere” stylish, fun, and productive. Recurring themes that ran through “Prism” were youth, colour, experimental, and bold; all attributed to Logitech, with whom it strongly resonates with. This was reflected in their studio series, which was designed especially for gen-z and working millennials and sports a sleek and stylish design with pops of colour.

    The designers were inspired by prints that moved through the tie and dye craft and continued onto geometrics and abstract flowers, which represented their favourite states – Gujarat and Rajasthan. The intricate hand embroidery collection was inspired by the colour palette of Logitech’s studio series. Hence, the addition of mirror work, thread work, tassels, and metals proved to be a perfect fashionable balance.

    Designer Saaksha Bhat said, “This season we have collaborated with Logitech to showcase our new collection ‘Prism’ at Lakme Fashion Week X FDCI. The collection showcases pinks, purples, and yellows—an ode to the fun and vibrant colours used in Logitech’s Studio series. The silhouettes are layered, youthful, and easy breezy-a testament that you can work comfortably from anywhere and in style!”

    Saaksha & Kinni are known for their signature hand micro pleating, which was once again used extensively throughout the diverse collection this season. Visible on several silhouettes like dresses, skirts, and jackets, the micro pleating and shapes allowed free movement and comfort for the wearer. Layering was an important aspect of the look, as different weights of light chiffon, hand-woven cotton, and satin were cleverly balanced with heavy denim and drill.

    The collaboration between Logitech and designers Saaksha & Kinni for their collection “Prism” was a great offering for the fashion-conscious who prefer to work from anywhere while remaining stylish, productive and relaxed.

  • RIL is collaborating with Lakme Fashion Week and designer Anita Dongre

    RIL is collaborating with Lakme Fashion Week and designer Anita Dongre

    MUMBAI: World Environment Day – 2018 is going to be special as India is hosting global celebrations of the event today. To commemorate the occasion, Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) has launched a special T-shirt, branded ‘The Earth Tee’ and designed by renowned fashion designer Anita Dongre, under its unique programme – ‘Fashion for Earth’.

    The idea is to nudge people to switch to fashion that not only enhances aesthetics but also help conserve the environment and our planet.

    During the launch of R|Elan™, at the IMG Reliance’s Lakme Fashion Week in January 2018, RIL collected post-consumer (used) PET bottles from the venue – Jio Garden at the BKC. Those have since been processed, recycled and converted into R|Elan™ GreenGold fabrics – one of the greenest fabrics using which Anita Dongre has designed and created the elegant ‘The Earth Tee’.

    This limited edition ‘The Earth Tee’ has been presented to celebrities, selected by IMG Reliance & Anita Dongre, to join the ‘Fashion for Earth’ movement and spot ‘The Earth Tee’ initiatives.

    RIL a leader in sustainable business development is focusing on promoting the concept of Circular Economy. Earlier this year, at the Lakmé Fashion Week, incidentally – at the same time that R|Elan™ fabrics was launched with Anita Dongre as a design partner – RIL’s R|Elan has launched ‘Fashion for Earth’ an ongoing program to drive awareness pertaining to sustainable fabrics, fashion & living.

    The Earth Tee is the latest initiatives from this program to commemorate the ‘World Environment Day’.

    “Reliance is committed to ensure environmentally sustainable and responsible operations to achieve highest standards of excellence. The ‘Fashion for Earth’ is our endeavour to make people participate in our efforts to conserve environment and the planet. The Earth Tee, designed by Anita Dongre, depicts the new paradigm of environmentally responsible fashion. The initiative is launched to celebrate the initiation of this long-term relationship, as we decided to jointly promote The Earth Tee with Anita Dongre and Lakmé Fashion Week as partners”, a RIL spokesperson said. 

    Reliance Industries, the owner of brand R|Elan, is one of the largest recycler of PET bottles in India, recycling 2.2 billion PET bottles a year.

    The R|Elan GreenGold, made from recycled PET, substantially reduces the emission of greenhouse gases, and cuts down on water usage as well. The fabric is made from pre-dyed fibres that doesn’t require much water. Whatever little water is required, 90% of it is recycled.   

    RIL is the only company in the world that has built a complete circle – right from creation of PET Resin for bottles, and collection of discarded bottles to converting them to Recron GreenGold eco-friendly polyester fibre, which in turn is converted to R|Elan GreenGold fabric for the manufacture of high-fashion apparels.
