Day 5 at IFW

Today was the day for my show, so I was very busy.

Bobby and Manju Grover showed a black and white collection, which was very Western. The mirror work collection in red and black was quite effective on the ramp.

Ranna Gill repeated her sequined collection from her Spring Summer show last season. She presented her clothes at random and not collection wise. This was rather distracting.

Payal Jain showed western clothes with an Indian sensibility. The collection had very good chikankari and bandhani work. Spaghetti strap dresses, sarongs, asymmetrical dresses, along with brocades in burgundy, black and red with minimal embroidery were extremely effective.
