Day 4 at Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week Autumn Winter 2013 started so early that we bet most of us peeps covering it would be dreaming of nothing else but a good night's sleep tonight in preparation for the last day tomorrow ..... However we are indefatigable warriors of the thread .... Hahaha and report the ondits ... we must !!!! So here is a super quick post on the early birds today, Rina Dhaka and Sanchita Ajjampur ... Enjoy :)

Rina Dhaka

Rina Dhaka Autumn Winter 2013 collection deftly illustrates the contemporary trend of Digi prints. The design cultivation delved into ancestral Indian textiles for ingenuity which were scanned to create digital prints for the fabrics with cultivated patterns. The ensembles feature straight shifts and drop waist silhouettes, the popular empire and a line dresses with black as the reigning color. The chiffons, georgettes, organzas and stretch fabrics are festooned with prints of monochrome paisley, red and yellow ikat, tweed and honeycomb. Upfront, edgy and modern with nineties vibe, very resonant with the classic pizzazz and oomph that celebrates classic Rina Dhaka style, this collection evolves with every costume. The contemporary dresses with a puff organza sleeves, reminiscent of the nineties, the use of subtle colour blends of gray, maroon, black and white, it’s a season of looking back as much as the now. - Press Release

Sanchita by Sanchita Ajjampur

An imaginary New World inspired by the Panchatantra Tales, where bejewelled monkeys, exotic flora and fauna are painted in a fantastic colour palette to accentuate the surrealistic quality of the collection. Unconventional hand-painted florals from Indian mythology create a refined femininity, while the contrast of strong crystal edges adds a new three dimensionality to the luxe printed duchesse, satins and gossamer fabrics. Tapered silhouettes offer the ultimate in luxury and curiosity, effortlessly blurring the line between day and evening wear. Sleek male grooming with a cultural and historical twist. Camouflage prints in aviator and metallic shades imbue unexpected fabrics with a militant sensibility, subverting the traditional print through embellishment that mixes Indian military, mythology and textures to create the ultimate urban warrior. - Press Release















Hope you enjoyed this quick post, more later :)
