Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2013 - Recap Part I



I had a bunch of Wills Fashion week pictures with me and It's not everyday that I click such good pictures (by my standards ofcourse) so I thought of putting these up to a better use. And while putting these together, I'd been secretly wishing I could take the next flight to Mumbai and watch Lakme Fashion Week. Ugh the bug has bitten :)
Anywho!


Siddartha Tytler's collection was predominantly about Little Gorgeous Black Dresses, bodycon, glittery, sheer and every ingredient you need for Sexy. Anupamaa Dayal's collection titled 'Ishq-e-dilli' was flowy black and whites and took us back to the Mughal era. It was a dreamy affair, the only thing I dislike are Bikini Sarees. They just don't make sense to me (Sorry I was busy disliking it therefore No picture, you can google and see what I'm talking about though). Nikasha's collection called 'Raat Ki Rani' was a little run-of-the-mill, except for the lovely version of patiala bottoms shown in the picture.

Pankaj & Nidhi's Collection, called The Music Box had hints of baroque with contrasting hues and contrasting cuts - Flares in some and clean, straight cuts in others.

Sumptous Flares and very couture line-up of Indian Ethnic. I had plenty of favorites in this one! Style Curry Recommends :)

The huge Red bindis were consistent throughout the Abraham & Thakore show, oozing substance and elegance through meshy golds. While Rajdeep Ranawat left me a little baffled, even though the clothes were all swagger but some pieces were confusingly OTT. Namrarta Joshipura's show, however, was classy impressive both in direction and apparel.

Taking cues from the 90s and using Indian textiles, was Rina Dhaka's show at the WIFW. It was about no-fuss straight cuts and drop-waists.

Manish Malhotra at Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week A/W '13

This was one of my most looked forward to shows in the week, it is the bollywood designer daddy Manish Malhotra we're talking about after all. I must confess I tried to go well in time to grab a good spot in the photographers pit because I knew this show is going to be a full house and It sure was. The chick sitting next to me was leaning all over me to get good clicks.

The show was as usual a starry affair with Siddartha Malhotra (Student Of The Year fame), Esha Gupta (umm what movie was she in? ) and Jacquelyn Fernandes (Not trying to recall any movie she was in). But the point is, all three of them looked gorgeous thanks to the beautiful Manish Malhotra outfits. I loved Jacquelyn's outfit the most, stunning phulkari work with the bandh gala and cut-out back.

Manish Malhotra has been bagging a lot of praises for the social welfare he does by bringing on the ramp traditional craftsmanship. After the kashmiri thread work and chikankari in last few collections, it was time to revisit Punjab in all it's glory. The collection was titled 'Threads of Emotions'. Handcrafted phulkari with a modern twist in the form of anarkalis and lehengas. The menswear consisted of bandh galas and pathanis with turbans.
