WLIFW: Tarun Tahiliani

Tarun Tahiliani’s show had a bit of everything. The collection was swathed in different colors as varied as reds, purples, greys, blacks, beiges and creams and in different textures, tulle, net, tweed, velvet or his signature chiffons. The expected craftsmanship of using embroideries and other work in traditional Indian techniques was there too.

The menswear saw mostly Indian formal wear but the real show-stealers were the women’s designs. The collection swayed between Indian and Western ensembles but it was easy to easy that the Indian silhouettes retained the western influences in their clean, elegant and minimal design.

WLIFW: Abhishek Gupta & Nandita Basu

Abhishek Gupta & Nandita Basu’s collection was mostly spunky urban street wear. There was a liberal use of color, contrasts and graphics.

The textures were interesting, there were wool blends, jersey, brocades and quilted pieces. The ‘camouflage’ was interpreted and reinvented onto quilted dresses, ponchos and metallic pieces. And, printed leggings too made an appearance.

WLIFW: Niki Mahajan

Niki Mahajan’s collection used the western silhouette with a strong Indian influence in design and print that was hard to miss. While there was a lot of color, it was never overwhelming, most of its use stayed toned down and muted.

There were pleated dresses with jeweled accents, bubble hem dresses and quilted jackets. There was an emphasis at the sleeves which were very constructed and necklines were varied through the collection.

WLIFW: Deepika Govind

Deepika Govind’s collection had two themes that she brought together, ‘Conference Of The Birds’ and ‘Concert Of The Sea’.

The collection used a lot of color, greens, blues and reds and in fact, red was often used to accentuate other outfits as well, especially the ones in black and self-print ones. There was layering of textures and prints and trims were quite liberally used to accentuate the clothes. The jackets especially had that natural hand-woven feel which was further accentuated by an interesting use of color.

WLIFW: Gaurav Gupta

Gaurav Gupta’s collection had both menswear as well as evening and day for women and the colors stayed predominantly muted whether smokey greys and greens, indigo or matte golds and coppers.

The crepes, chiffons, silks and satin were draped and molded, the jackets were structured, there was a play on symmetry, rather asymmetry and the menswear was extremely structured and the play on deconstruction was evident.
