Debarun Mukherjee
Inspired by the tasty chanachur or Bombay Mix, a Kolkata snack, Debarun Mukherjee’s collection called “Miracle Mix” had all the spicy touches of fashion that livened up his garments. Creatively blending a touch of the rustic with the contemporary, Debarun had a delightful mélange of silhouettes that ranged from classic western but dazzled with the beauty of ethnic embellishments and clever texturing.
The colours of mustard and saffron matched the theme of the snacks as a rich mix of orange jackets, dresses, tops, skirts and two suits for men came down the ramp. A wrap dress, a mid length will-power dress with mirror work, raw silk maxi with embroidery in a mix of traditional craft and a stylish oversized collared jacket were eye-catching. Men’s wear had one suit and a sherwani both with tonal embroidery.
Here was an officering of ensembles that had the best of both worlds along with creative styling to spice up your wardrobes with hand embroidery that was regal but with hints of Boho chic for the beautiful silk ensembles.

Nidhi & Divya Gambhir
Women- you can't define them, you can't ignore them. Each one is uniquely stylish in her own way.” Designer duo believe in this philosophy. Their label ‘Walnut’, based on this insight and aimed at complimenting every woman's individuality. The concepts and innovations vary from Indo-western to western. For LFW S/R’10, their inspiration is Romance which is why they have named it- ‘Is this love?’ “It recycles the age-old emotion and creates an abstract painting of ethereal love in an unreal world. A place where a myriad of textures fuse with contemporary artistic expressions and create a newer fantastical version of Romance”, said the designer sisters. The line consists of silhouettes which have a practical and desirable ease in their simplicity. The use of stiff structures combined with delicate feather like hand-painted organza further strengthens the line. The collection uses silk, organza in white, ombre, blue and purple along with hand painted strokes of absolutely all the beautiful colours coming together. The fabric used are silks and organzas where the silks are textured with various techniques like tucks, cords, ruffles, and played around in different pleating forms. And the organzas are hand painted to bring about the romance in a fantasy world. “We target people with different age groups and our clothing line is for all sizes but the label intends to design for women with a deep fashion sense and high level of confidence from within, which lets them experiment with our designs that are classic yet contemporary”, Divya expressed. According to the designers the U.S.P. would be the contemporary take on classic silhouette, along with the hand painted garments. The look and the feel of the model will be that of a lady in love and in a different world altogether, with subtle emotions and fun reflecting through her clothing.

Rimi Nayak
All set to showcase a romantic tale of unfulfilled love and endless wait of a young woman who fell in love with a seafarer. Azure Amour - a tale that was depicted in her S/S collection last season. “Drawing inspiration from the different stages of the relationship between a sailor and his muse, the collection is divided into 4 basic looks”, said the designer.The first look is “Fatal Attraction” which is drawing references from the sailor’s uniform with a structured and chivalrous look, alongwith drapes and deconstructed detailing in the silhouettes. Next is “Casual Courtship”, which comprises free flowing dresses in a nautical colour palette with an air of chic nonchalance.
“Separation & Solitude” consists of the ever popular Nautical Stripes that have been used in an unconventional manner as the iconic stripes have been recreated with pin tucks textures, layering and buttons. The linear divisions of the stripes are used as a metaphor for separation. “The Endless Wait”, consists of classic silhouettes with Grecian drapes, impeccable cuts and gorgeous falls. “I believe in looking at mundane things and giving it a fresh new twist to it. This season, I am introducing a few new silhouettes which I call ‘fusion fashion silhouettes’. It’s my take on the Indian style kurta which I have draped and deconstructed along with boyfriend shirt, kalidars and long coats. Along with these new silhouettes, my collection has a range of different types of dresses in draped, classic fits and casual styles”, she added.
Keeping the season in mind, fabrics like georgette, crepe, chanderi, linen have been used in abundance in a nautical palette of blue, white and gold. The designer has used her signature style batik crack on silk and crepe in a nautical palette of blue and white. Interesting graphical motif of compass has been applied as embroidery on the garments and as badges as add ones. The ever popular nautical stripes have been recreated with buttons, pintucks and layering.
“A simple, chic and classic look defines the mood of the collection along with uniform inspired style and detailing on the models” the designer signed off.

Lina Tipnis
Istanbul, not Constantinople is more of an invitation to celebrate Istanbul, the place of glorious heritage, the splendid jewels of Topkapi palace, the serenity of the Turkish people and the intricate detailed Iznik tiles. Her collection revives the energy of the 14th century grand bazaar and the history that engulfs you and takes you to a different journey that city has witnessed over a period of time. Utilized the technique of Trompe L'oiel to make garments for a Princess at a resort. It replicates the carpets and jewels of the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul. The term Trompe L'oiel originates from the French word which stands for 'trick the eye' and is known as a highly appreciated art technique that involves extremely realistic imagery in order to create an optical illusion which presents the object in three dimensional, instead of actually being a two dimensional painting. Elsa Schiaparelli was the first designer to utilize trompe l'oeil in her designs in the 20's and 30's, and then Roberta di Camerino popularized this style in the 60's with her clothing, bags, men's ties, and umbrellas. Her finish, innovation and distinctive look, combined with classic elegance, highlight the sensuality. Colours; nudes and skin tones juxtaposed with deep colour tones of semi precious stones, Ivory and mahogany. Summer dresses in trapeze and tent silhouettes, cocktail dresses in sheath and shift, contemporary kaftans are paired with low fork trousers.
