Gleaming Fables

FW 2017

Look Book: Gleaming Fables AW 2017

Inspired by the deep dark woods of Black Forest, Germany, the collection pays homage to the local Fables and other classical tales of mystical Landscape of Europe.

Snowy whites, Mushroom beige, Cherry Red, Pine green and Terra Brown forms the core rustic colour story of intense fall palette. The shy sun rays penetrating the thick vegetation of the forest magically illuminates every minute detail of these densely packed flora and fauna. Such surreal Moments of my recent nature trails inspired me to craft this ready to wear line of warm separates.

Crafted from exquisite textiles from Hilly tribes of India to quintessential wild, each look is sparkled with delicate hand embroideries celebrating the vintage patterns of botanical wonders lost in modernity.

The look is totally European with jacquard prints, pretty bloom and floral prints in tones of blush, dove grey, fresh red, mahogany, sand, beige, navy blue, etc. Luxurious fabrics like free flowing silk, textured silk, specially woven lurex chambray, etc  have been used for sheen. Modern detailing like eyelets, rivets, stitch lines, quilting have found their way with crafts like metallic hand embroidery in rose gold and gun metal and lots of hand block printing and screen printing has been used for surface ornamentation.

The silhouettes are diverse but have a contemporary and modern look, comprising of pant suits, dressing gown inspired suits, shirt dresses, crop tops, midi skirts and floral dresses, etc.

The whole collection is extremely feminine and romantic with a vintage feel but contemporary sporty details and au-courant elements have been added for a luxurious, refined and a graceful look.
