Five looks for the season
With two mega fashion events happening, coming season is surely going to be stylish. Jaydeep Ghosh on different looks for coming season.
The first day at WIFW gave us a glimpse of the trends that would be haute in the Spring/Summer 2009. We arrived at these trends by seeing the ‘Highest Common Factor’ in the collections showcased on Day1.
Ruffle Rage: These artful waves and curves or what is technically called Structural Ruffles was a favourite amongst most designers.
Shine on Sequins: These new spring styles were spot on. ‘Shine on Baby’ seemed to be the loud message. It was a fresh switch from metallics.
Waist Matter: It was interesting to see everyone’s obsession with belts turn to more organic knots and ties. Cummerbunds, draped knots, corset belts and regular belts were omnipresent.
Divine Drapes: Jersey gowns, satin gowns, Empire-line dresses, Tent-shaped dresses with draped yoke were highly visible on the ramp.
Floral Fantasy: Flowers ruled— from embroideries to structural ruffles, floral appliqué work to floral prints. Most designers used flowers in one way or the other.
