LFW Winter/Festive 2010: Shyamal And Bhumika

Shyamal and Bhumika’s collection is sure to find plenty of takers in the coming wedding/festive season. Ornate saris, lehengas, kurta-churidaars, and for the men, sherwanis, kurtas and bundgalas made up the collection. Festive colors and work like zardozi, zari and gotta and embroideries dominated. Though the heavy velvets aren’t for us, the silks and brocades were pretty. If you were looking for something “novel”, this isn’t for you… A collection for the more traditional trousseau this one.

On The Ramp

The India International Jewellery Week concluded yesterday but Gitanjali held a big fashion show today at the same venue called Bollywood Nights. On the ramp were Neha Dhupia ( who walked in a creation from Shyamal & Bhumika’s new bridal collection) and Bipasha(in a creation by Vikram Phadnis).
Although am gravitating towards Neha’s look more the short length of her lehenga is throwing me off. Who do you prefer?

Shyamal and Bhumika: LFW Summer/Resort 2010

Shyamal and Bhumika’s collection inspired by Holi had models walking to “Rang Barse”. The beginning set of outfits consisted of dresses with the illusion of color splashed on them and while we thought it was a print, on closer inspection it turned out that the effect was brought out by indeed splashing color on the material which in turn made the outfits feel stiff instead of flowy. A bummer because those were the more fun outfits of the collection.
Next came in cocktail dresses and gowns in a variety of colorful prints and while some were interesting, others just made us feel like were watching a Garden Vareli sari ad updated to include modern silhouettes.
P.S. Pardon the shaky video, we aren’t professionals yet at recording. 😛

Anand Kabra Spring Summer 2010, Lakme Fashion Week
Anand Kabra’s collection titled ‘Kumari’ had to be one of my favorites from day one. I loved how the colors and the fabrics were so soft and feminine and then were juxtaposed with those well constructed cuts, silhouettes, asymmetrical hemlines and embellishments. The play between the ultra-feminine and the understated strength is what won me over. Loved the saris, the cocktail dresses… practically all pieces from the collection.

Anita Dongre Timeless Spring Summer 2010, Lakme Fashion Week
Anita Dongre’s “Jaipur My Jaipur” was an homage to Rajasthan and it’s rich cultural heritage and so for her Spring 2010 collection, Anita Dongre used traditional Rajasthani weaves and fabrics like luxurious brocades, satin, net, lush velvets and silks in rich and regal colors. If I were to think of this collection independent of it’s Spring/Summer tag, I loved it. There were many pieces in the collection that would work perfectly with the festive season or in a bride’s trousseau. However with all the heavy velvets and weighty embellishments, it seemed rather oppressive for a ‘Spring/Summer’ collection. Contradicting myself though, in a country like India where seasonal tags like ‘Spring Summer’ and ‘Fall’ are pretty irrelevant, I can see Anita Dongre Timeless really being ‘Timeless’.

Shyamal And Bhumika Spring Summer 2010, Lakme Fashion Week
Another collection that was one for the ‘trousseau’. Barring a few pieces, it was hard for me to get excited about this collection mainly because it felt like we had seen it all before, the colors, the fabrics, the work, the color combinations… Having said that, I loved the lehengas with the velvet dupattas; the contrast between textures made for great visual interest.

Vivek Karuna Karan Spring Summer 2010, Lakme Fashion Week
An extremely wearable and commercial collection; the pieces from the runway could go straight onto a retail shelf. And for a collection to be tagged with that is quite the double-edged sword. Nothing about the runway was exciting, wearable yes, exciting no. And really, there was nothing to write home about, not about the Jodhpurs and certainly not the dresses. The only dress that stood out was the one that South Indian actress Mamta Mohandas (far left of the pic) wore on the runway. Summery and cheery.
