Lakme Fashion Week Summer Resort 2011 | Pria Kataria Puri

This time around, Pria Kataria Puri's collection was inspired by Marrakesh, Morocco. I loved the collection! Scroll down to see why :)

Loved all the aqua - the saris, kaftan-y dresses, and the kaftans!!

 The collection featured some cool headgear - glittery head wraps and multicolored scarves studded with sequins and beads. I loved the orange bikini - so fierce!

 One set of clothes featured cream cloth with a repeating motif of what appeared to be buttons, with fringe, jeweled collars and hems, and empire waists.

Love Love Love all the bright, cheery summer colors - 

goldenrod, hot orange, cool green and as mentioned above, aquamarine.

Lakme Fashion Week Summer Resort 2011 | Babita M, Malini A, and Masaba G!

 Babita M's collection was influenced by the baoul singers of India - wandering minstrels that roam around singing, often clad in oranges. The clothes were very earthy, with aviators that added a glam touch. Many of them were in hues of cream, green, and brown, and many featured scripts on them. I liked the glam-boho, unstructured and unrestricted feel of the collection.

 Malini Aggarwala's collection was very easy-breezy-chic. There were a lot of kaftans and unstructured, flowy clothes, which i loved. Also really liked the color palette - white and cream with liberal doses of bright turquoise, golden yellow and orange. And, needless to say, I LOVED the accessories - they added so much bunch! Favorites are the two necklaces shown in the last picture - the red beaded one and the turquoise one. I want them NOW!!!

Masaba worked her signature strength - mixing up bold colors with clean silhouettes, fun colors, and lots of prints in the form of footprints and polka dots. Her collection, as always, was vibrant and youthful, and perfect for summer. Love!

Lakme Fashion Week Summer Resort 2011 | Eina Ahluwalia

I recently saw this collection by jewelry designer Eina Ahluwalia, who I had not heard of before. Regardless, I instantly fell in love with this collection of hers. The clothes were centered mostly around reds, blacks, and whites, with refined embellishments in the form of golden zari borders. I loved the combination of simple, clean, silhouettes paired with ridiculously eclectic and gorgeous statement jewelry. Favorites from the jewelry included the trident cuffs (featured with the gold and white sari), trident headpieces, and the fanged necklace in the first photo.
This is definitely a designer I will be on the lookout for in the future!

 

I LOVE THIS!

Lakme Fashion Week Summer Resort 2011 | Anita Dongre and Anamika Khanna

Lakme Fashion Week is upon us! First up in my review are collections by two lovely ladies - Anamika Khanna and Anita Dongre.

Anamika Khanna's collection featured an eclectic mix of menswear with traditional Indian finery. The dominant colors were black, white, and gray, with punches of magenta and aubergine thrown in. I loved the combination of cropped dress shirts with flowing lehenga skirts, and also really liked the embellished jackets. {Source and Source}

Anita Dongre's Timeless Collection featured soft hues of cream, eggshell, white and dust pink, with gold and silver embellishments. I loved most of the pieces - they looked effortlessly feminine, summery, and very clean. There was just the right contrast between embellishments and plain-ness.
