For a luncheon at a friend's beach house, Esha wanted to let her hair down. The temptation to run down the beach at sunset to touch the waters and cool your heels is hard to resist....specially when a bunch of girls just wanna have fun!

Esha wears this interesting short/long wrap-tie-up dress in a powdered sea blue base with sun faded floral print all-over. The dress is designed for maximum freedom of movement and hence an ideal choice. A sleeveless trucker jacket in denim, a carry all tote and a pair of slip-on flats complete her resort look.

Hair eager to kiss the breeze Esha is ready for some fun on the beach.

P.S: When planning a beach/resort look ensure that you work with minimum number of pieces that are easy to put on and allow you maximum ease and movement. Easy Breezy should be your keywords.....Have fun!

Esha has a Fashion show-for-a-cause to attend, front row, followed by high tea and ending with a sundown soiree at the chic manicured gardens of a 5-star venue. 

She chooses this amazing Grecian draped dress by the James Farreira that took my breath away. The Ombre' going from soft hibiscus red to a carrot orange blending in at the waist is a fabulous pairing of color don't you think?

She wears a double string pearl and shell neckpiece in gold, a gold neck choker and a broad gold cuff to complement this Greek Goddess look. Unafraid of adding more color, she chooses a pair of bold color blocked peep toes  for footwear in fuchsia, royal blue and black. I love this footwear choice simply for the fact that is adds a zing that make her look fab from tip to toe. A safer footwear choice wouldn't have been able to do so. She finishes her look with kohl lined eyes, soft hibiscus lips and hair swept back into a messy bun on the side with her tamed curls trying to break free.

Esha Amin is ready to set the temperatures of this garden soiree soaring!

Your blogger is there to witness, review and bring to you the best from this high octane, champagne drenched event....day after day!

So buckle up to go on the fast lane with me to see what the best in design in the country have to offer for this Summer/resort season of 2014.

DHRUV KAPUR’S MONOCHROMATIC COLLECTION HAD MINIMAL STYLISH ELEGANCE AT LAKMÉ FASHION WEEK SUMMER/RESORT 2014

Mumbai, 12^th March: Dhruv Kapur’s label DRVV for his collection reflected duplicity and duality in monochromes at Lakmé Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2014.

 To match the theme and mood of the ensembles, the fabrics he opted for, started with double sided crêpe, georgette, cotton sateen, organza, silk flat chiffon and twill but stayed away from dazzling embroidery and bright colours. Dhruv played with black, white, grey, silver-grey and beige for a stylishly simplistic collection which had a great story to tell.

The contrast French cuff and built in bow shirt in poplin seen below is my pick from the womens offerings.

“2 Faced” garments like the coat back jumpsuit for men added to the fashion quotient for a very Zen like look that created a striking fashion statement for Dhruv Kapur’s collection.

PRANAV MISHRA AND SHYMA SHETTY BROUGHT NEO LUXE PRÉT ON THE CATWALK AT LAKMÉ FASHION WEEK SUMMER/RESORT 2014

It was pure luxury with comfort when Pranav Mishra and Shyma Shetty presented their collection for Lakmé Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2014 under the “Huemn” label.

Influenced heavily by sportswear, the creations had a breezy fresh energetic young upscaled look. Sporty silhouettes were evident along with graphic creative wordplay and luxe shimmering handwork. Colours that created a fun element were, bright yellow and red along with pastel blue, mint, beige, and ended with black. Keeping the theme intact, plush silk, linen, Lurex and Lycra were the apt fabric choices.

Silky sweatshirts were a great complement for sequinned pencil skirts while trendy varsity Tees were given a stylish twist.

I love the sharply cut Jacket glittered with stripes to keep the theme intact. Sporty broad stripes and giant numerical motifs added to the very fun collection which was at the same time quite right for elegant evenings.

For the lover of the great outdoors, Pranav Mishra and Shyma Shetty dreamt up an offering for the latest season that had all the practical as well as elegant stylish touches.

SNEHA ARORA’S COLLECTION OF IMPERFECTIONS AND STYLE CREATED DRAMA ON THE RAMP AT LAKMÉ FASHION WEEK SUMMER/RESORT 2014

 Sneha created a collection of imperfections at Lakmé Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2014. Defects in fashion were highlighted while perfection was given a back seat.

Calling her presentation “Leak”, Sneha went from hues like dirty ivory, patchy beige and leaking indigo along with dusty brown to stay true to the title. I love the neckpiece and the colors.

Asymmetric prints were once again blotchy, while leaking plackets and collars were in miss dent dobbies and cotton voiles. Summer dresses too revealed leaking details in cotton satins and hand-woven silks. Bottom wear comprised displaced cropped trousers and culottes, which were teamed with deconstructed blazers with dripping lining that gave an unconventional relaxed silhouette to the garments.

Pleating gave the dresses, trousers and jackets a slightly feminine touch; while the clever layering of different garments offered a mix and match option to the wearer.

CHILDHOOD MEMORIES INSPIRED SOUGAT PAUL’S VERY UNIQUE COLLECTION AT LAKMÉ FASHION WEEK SUMMER/RESORT 2014

The detailing was rather unconventional as embellishments were the zippers that made striking additions. Digital prints played a major role as geometric and floral motifs in multi colours and fabrics were teamed with solids to highlight the garments. While the silhouette was basic, it was the pleating and draping that added drama to the garments. Beaded tassels appeared for colour blocked pre-stitched saris and were easy on the eye.

                             

 SOUP -Saugat Paul

The final three beaded beauties – black chiffon maxi, red jacket with georgette skirt and the dusty green gown with 3D embellishments were ideal Red Carpet entries. For a nostalgic fashion journey Sougat Paul’s “Vintage Sewing Box” collection was the perfect tailored offering from dawn to dusk.
