RAHUL N SHIKHA FROM ‘VRISA’ REVIVED THE OLD WORLD
CHARM OF TRADITIONAL TEXTILES AT LAKMÉ FASHION WEEK WINTER/FESTIVE 2015.
Jaipur based
designers Rahul n Shikha with their brand ‘Vrisa’ did what they do best and
rejuvenated one of the oldest forms of textile designing for their collection
“A-Jharat” (derived from Azrak meaning blue in Arabic) at Lakmé Fashion Week
Winter/Festive 2015.
The clothing line
‘A-jharat’ was based on the Sanskrit word of the same, which was where the
fabric was believed to have gotten its name. The range of clothing was
immensely influenced by Ajrak designs and the printing technique used to make
unique textiles called Bagru-Dabu.
Vrisa by Rahul and Shikha
This kind of printing also involves the use of all natural dyes extracted from plants, flowers, trees and fruits therefore making it eco-friendly and pure. The intricate facet in the prints was also created by the terrific duo and gave an added edge to the collection.
Vrisa by Rahul and Shikha
The chroma of the collection had steel blues and tinges of red, white and navy blue peeking through the embroidery. The silhouettes stayed true to tradition with long anarkalis and kurtas with pleat variations along with colourful tassels and silver detailing.
Vrisa by Rahul and Shikha
Eye-catching ensembles were the jet black anarkali with printed cigarette pants and the sleeveless button-down blouse worn over a skirt, which had a gracefully draped dupatta on one shoulder.
Staying true to
their brand ‘Vrisa’, Rahul n Shikha conceptualised “A-Jharat” and the need for
“green” clothing that also incorporated art that the nation is famous for,
making the wearer a proud fashionista.

Mumbai, 27 August, 2015: Priyanka Dagdee’s ‘Hastkala’ label presented “The Mysterious Beginnings”, at Jabong Stage during Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2015. Her childhood memories of ghosts and spirits stories were dark, mysterious and enchanting.
The designer recreated timeless beauty with strong contours and cuts to give a classic appeal to the silhouettes. The models strutted down the ramp in Monochrome hues splashed with cranberry. The motifs of skulls and bones breathed life on the easy going loose silhouettes.
Hastkala
Giving a classic appeal to her collection were collared loose tops, palazzo pants, long gathered skirts, and capes. A standout garment from her line was a charcoal sari embellished with ivory motifs. The designer reinvented classic silhouettes with a monochrome coloured striped Sharara pant paired with a cropped top and cape. Creatively playing, the designer showcased a cranberry blazer and pencil skirt paired with charcoal leggings. Keeping minimal embellishments, Priyanka enthralled the audience with a versatile range of understated elegance.
Rejuvenating Indian aesthetics, Priyanka used Tie and Dye techniques throughout her collection. The glitzy line of garments was made of indigenous fabrics like pure silk and cotton. Handmade techniques and textures gave a perfectly urbanised look to the serene silhouettes.
Hastkala
Making a dramatic entry was Bollywood and TV star Tisca Chopra in a mesmerising black gathered gown with an enticing chained neckpiece. “The Mysterious Beginnings” by Priyanka Dagdee’s ‘Hastkala’ label mesmerised the audience with her magical collection and will create a stir on the fashion circuit.

KIRAN AND MEGHNA PRESENTED THE STUNNING “MAISA”
COLLECTION FROM THEIR LABEL ‘MYOHO’ AT LAKMÉ FASHION WEEK WINTER/FESTIVE 2015
The “Maisa”
collection dreamt up by Kiran and Meghna for their label ‘Myoho’ at Lakmé
Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2015 was a layered fashionable tribute to women of
strength. Selecting a fabric story that moved effortlessly from tussar to gajji
silk in monochromes, the garments were a sharply cut line. Splashes of deep red
appeared at times for the “Maisa” ensembles, which means “one with the proud
walk” and that is exactly how the models looked as they strutted down the ramp
with great élan.
Myoho
The collection
was an unconventional blend of fluid yet wild elements, which were balanced
perfectly for the creations, which were cleverly crafted into a variety of
silhouettes and shapes.
Opening with a
Marsala draped pant and blouse, the fabric treatment was eye-catching. The
reversible maroon and black cover, asymmetric tunic and skirt, belted coat over
sheer embroidered cover and black/ white polka dotted ruffled kurta made
impressive entries. A long sleeved midi, asymmetric side flap black dress,
indigo tunic with embroidery detailing and the black/white jumpsuit presented a
modern look at some basic silhouettes.
Myoho
The two saris were displayed, belted with long sleeve sheer kurta or a tunic and the final churidars under a tulle skirt with a long sleeve choli offered an adventurous look at women’s wear.
Myoho
For a woman who
wants to make a strong fashion statement, the “Maisa” collection by Kiran and
Meghna for their label ‘Myoho’ had all the perfect elements.

Bodice By Ruchika Sachdeva Presented A Collection For The Empowered Woman At Jabong Stage During Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2015
Mumbai, 27 August, 2015: Ruchika
Sachdeva, the vivacious young designer who created the brand BODICE, turned it
into a success at a very young age. Often, known for her free spirited vision
and individuality, she again presented a splendid range of apparels at Jabong
Stage during Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2015.
Ruchika Sachdeva
showcased a new fashion horizon for Indian women who are untamed yet rooted
strongly to their soil. Holding to the spark of effortless elegance with a
contemporary mélange, Ruchika managed to portray through an innovative
installation that the New Age girl can convey it all.
Bodice
Silhouettes were laid back and spoke of serenity with a twist of flamboyance and easy chic. The compatibility of colour with nature was envious - the sub shrub indigo and the sunray marigold were a lethal scheme. Deep tan and metallic rust were equally complementing the organic enchantment. Experimental textures were attempted and the results were found in the form of innovative and distinctive patterns. The incorporation of batik and resist polka dot fabric for layered constructed silhouettes gave the line an exuberant and radiant appeal.
Bodice
The garments ranged from calf length dresses in solid shades with jackets thrown over and structured formal tops paired with ankle length trousers. This presentation was more of an experiment done to showcase a different depiction of the runway; it was a high end installation of international standard. The ambience was intense with fabrics playing the perfect backdrop and the models being a part of the installation, was a bold risk well paid off.
Bodice
Ruchika Sachdeva
exhibited the perfect wardrobe choice for the constant jet setters, who are
always on the go and would still want their style game to be on point.

Femme meets Sports
Pleated skirts are such a nice way to update your Fall wardrobe. You can fine them in all lengths from a mini to skater to knee-length to a midi or even a maxi! The clue to finding a good pair for you is to try on a few to decide what suits you the best!
What we love about Rajani's look is the two ends of ultra feminine-chic i.e the skirt and the epitome of sporty vibe with the raglan paired together. The look is super cool meet sophisticated, which we super love.
Rajani Pandula
Rajani Pandula
Rajani pairs it up with a raglan 3/4 sleeves black-n-white color block crop-T to add a sporty vibe to this cool look. Yet she pairs it up with gold rimmed black heels to make it more occasion -wear. We are loving the whole Indian anklet touch!
Rajani Pandula
Our rule for choosing the right pleats for your skirt is bold box pleats if you are curvy and thinner knife pleats if you are on the skinny side. Go ahead experiment and find your own skirt look.....do share your images with us if you wish and we'd share if your look manages to impress!

Its a bold statement that you make when you decide to to this to your long tresses, bleach-em-blonde/ Ombre like Kayaan Contractor does. A very well done hair color job that goes from light blonde to hazelnut to her natural hair color, this adds so much color to her personality.
Kayaan Contractor
Kayaan gives us a very outdoorsy/street 90's look with her red and black tablecloth flannel plaid shirt paired with blue jeans and boots in black leather with a chunky chain and a matching backpack in black leather. Its a perfect casual look that can be styled UP (as in this case!) or Down with a pair of sneakers.
Kayaan Contractor
Kayaan of course punks it up with her fabulous hair worn open and taken in front, multi-chains and pendants, bracelets and a fab pair of shades. We are loving the Half-tuck for the top and think its a perfect way to style that boyfriend's shirt you've set your eyes on!
Kayaan Contractor
A great pair of vintage washed denims are a MUST HAVE for a girls wardrobe. Now ever so more denims with TORN/SLASHED-at-the-knees effect are the perfect pair for the moment! Get your hands on them or even better DIY to your old pair!
Kayaan Contractor
Kayaan Love Bug (as she addresses herself) is a part of leading blogger duo at Love and Other Bugs.

Chandni Sareen always manages to nail the casual look with her styling that is balanced and on-the-spot and adds to it with her versatile personality. Today she gives us the quintessential summer look with a pair of sassy denim-cut-off-shorts that are a must have for the summer season. A look from the revival of the 70's Daisy Dukes as they came to be known as with a touch of grunge and punk makes this the much desired look for 2015-16!
Chandni Sareen
Chandni pairs her cut-off denim shorts with frayed hem and destroyed surface patched with badges including a big yellow smiley with a v-neck T in white slub-knit. A flannel plaid over-shirt is used aptly for layering with studded yokes to bring in the 70's and the punk element.
Chandni Sareen
Blue nails with assorted rings and multiple metal studded leather bracelets reinforce her punk spirit!
Her acid washed denim backpack and mid-calf leather boots in black bring the grunge power to her personality.
Chandni Sareen
And yet, a very feminine and delicate chain and pendant and her sans-make-up innocent thick-eyebrows-school-girl is enough to deceive you and that perhaps is the charm that draws you....Give this lass a Harley with a helmet and the keys and she'll be a Gone Girl!

Accessories are the most important choices that one needs to make after one has chosen what clothes to wear. They have the power to lift your style and take it to another level. Shoes, bags, belts, glasses prescription or otherwise, jewelry, watches must be chosen very carefully.
Some accessories become an integral part of us, whether its a pendant that we have an emotional connect to, a ring that signifies a relationship, or a lucky bracelet which, when worn makes everything right! These pieces remain as non-negotiable....rest can and must be chosen!
Roma
Roma wears a sleeveless jumpsuit in black and pairs it with a crop top also sleeveless in a cobalt blue that adds a vibrant pop of color to her personality. However most delightful is her very unique neck piece and sunglasses drawing the viewers gaze against the plain black canvas of her jumpsuit. The dual string neck piece looks like a hi-tech gizmo refashioned from interesting and intriguing parts.....I sure wanna know more about it....don't you?
The oversize gold rimmed Jon Lennon glares are fabulous and just right for the moment where shapes of sunglasses are undergoing a major reinvention.
Roma
She finishes her look with a pair of white striped leather sneakers in black and an envelop sling bag in brown leather that spells out the only two things on her (true for most of us!) TO DO List......that is "Learn to Fly and Fly Away"

Susana wears a black tank paired with a leather short skirt also in leather......perfect to flaunt her exquisite butterflies and other tattooed body art. A leopard skin and leather sling bag and lovely clear glass vintage frames are accessories of her choice.

Luca pairs his rolled-up denim shorts in black denim with a Vintage Palm print short sleeves resort shirt worn buttoned-up. A baseball cap in green that says OBEY and vintage black shades are the accessories that complete his look. A full crop of well-groomed facial hair is just the way to be right now!
