NAMES like Rahul Mishra, Kallol Datta, Nachiket Barve, Sailex, Rimzim Dadu and Gaba are household names in the fashion circuit.

ATITHI GUPTA

Her USP: Sartorial allure but with elegant simple shapes with a lot of detailing and muted colour tones like shades of grey, balanced with purple, beige, brown, black, green and olive which gave the fabric choice of twill silk, a base for the detailing that was the highlight of the jackets, trousers and dresses. A grey asymmetric short sleeve smock with double sleeves, sheath in purple, a two toned paneled dress and zipped Jodhpur trousers were the interesting ensembles of the collection.

His USP:: Inspired by the beauty of Indian jewellery the collection reflected the colours like sapphire, amethyst, ruby, emerald and topaz which floated down the ramp for heavy lehengas and cholies with a lot of glitter and glitz. The western section with ornate corsets, velvet shrugs teamed with mini skirts in rich fabrics continued the jewel inspired look. Gotta work on a long slim skirt and blouse was the highlight of the range.

TANVI KEDIA

Her USP: The almost peasant tribal like draped dhoti skirt and embroidered blouse, the asymmetric layered skirts and top, the chiffon silk woven jackets and dresses, drapes for feminine silhouettes; recreated the look of a journey through tradition and style in shades of beige, white and brown. Quilting and volumes played a medley for the creations that gave the kitschy strokes on the ensembles a trendy touch.

Her USP: An Attic of Memories is how the collection was called and it had that delicate blend of the past and present to bring together a line of winter clothing in stripes, checks, hand painted and textured fabrics combined with drapes and construction. The colours moved from black, brown and green to white, golden and magenta for layered tops and shrugs, draped sleeved white satin blouses, some stylish woolen Jodhpur trousers, layered with jackets and waistcoats that almost reflected a Tibetan/Alpine touch so ideal for the coming season.

Her USP: Grays, black and beige came together for skirts, tops, waist coat, pinafore and trapeze style dresses, kurtas with a touch of pleating for a stylish yet minimalist line of layered clothing. The long tunics over skirts with a white jacket, the black embroidered coat with contrast collar, the pleated pinafore and the layered kurtas with softly flowing coats were designed with a characteristic fashion statement which will appeal to the style watchers.

SONAM MEHTA

Her USP: It was a Night to Remember collection of evening dresses created from rich brocades, pure silk and velvets; with shimmering borders on dresses that played hide and seek with black net over deep tones of silk. Pleats and gathers; rouching and touches of zardosi and resham added to the glamour of the collection. The dress was the favoured look either halter or gathered and often topped with a stylish shrug. Extremely interesting the collection was an ideal line for evening glamour.

TUHINA AND PARUL SHUKLA

Their USP: Drama and some period touches came together for Metamorphosis the collection that played with checks and damask prints for asymmetric pleats, folded dresses, tulip shapes, cowls in tweed, with a mix of net and solids for dreamlike costumes. Checked tight trousers and draped blouse, an almost Marie Antoinette like dress in deep tones of slate, teal, black and dull jade, layered mini with churidaars and pin tucked shrug -- the collection moved from east to west and then stayed fusion in nature. It was a darkly mysterious collection yet very feminine in nature for that dramatic impact on the ramp.
