Designer Aneeth Arora gave an India-inspired opening to the fashion week. The hand embroidered daisies on Chanderi dresses, cotton and khadi skirts wowed guests
The stage designed like a nursery full of plants, the sound of chirping birds in the background and models dressed in summer ensembles transported fashionistas from autumn to spring-summer season when Aneeth Arora opened the 24th edition of the Wills lifestyle India Fashion Week (WIFW) Spring-Summer 2015. Known for her love for indigenous Indian crafts and weaves, the designer presented her collection, which was dominated by cotton khadi dress, shorts, Chanderi tops, blue denims as well as cotton and silk shirts.
This cropped top and flared bottoms from Pallavi Mohan’s collection surely grabbed eyeballs. All those who flocked the front rows hoping to pick up wearable design loved the style. The designer gave the evening wear a cool, casual makeover
See-through dresses with a gleaming texture were the highlight of Pallavi Mohan’s collection. Fabrics like chiffon, silk, organza, georgette and knitted textiles were extensively used in her line. While we surely appreciate the designer for her subtle tones but silhouettes were nothing new
Alpana Neeraj’s collection showcased Japanese obsession with Kawaii or cute, a popular culture there. The style uses bright colours and is quite a hit among teenagers, especially women. Sharp linear structures were the high point of the collection
Harajuku style apron skirts worn over sharply cut pants, large floral patches sewn on the long linear dresses and some voluminous skirts in bright tones were appreciated from Alpana Neeraj’s collection. Not to be missed were the interesting hairdos of the models
Hemant and Nandita added the much-needed colours to day one of the fashion fiesta. The collection was high on prints. long, body-fitting evening gowns, high-waist pants, baby doll skirts and jackets seemed ideal for the spring/summer season
