Day 2 at the Amazon India Couture Week drew contrasting tales. Rahul Mishra spelled minimalistic charm as his ode to the village artisans while couturier Gaurav Gupta bathed models in gold in a forest-like setup. Kalki Koechlin added the glam quotient.
🙂 Rahul Mishra’s super impressive marathon on the fashion track is amazing. It was obviously a great deal of effort for the designer who debuted his couture line at the Amazon India Couture Week. As expected, his Tree of Life got rave reviews.
🙂 The young designer, who won the International Woolmark Prize and showcased his work in Paris, used heritage embroideries a lot but gave modern touch to his creations.
🙂 There were capes, lehengas, bomber jackets and sari gowns. We were smitten by the fine detailing and sophisticated charm spelled onto the hand-woven fabrics. Maxi dresses and gowns were flowy and relaxing.
🙂 Motifs of trees and leaves, floral and bird patterns were Rahul Mishra’s ode to the villagers and artisans. Devoid of accessories, models looked elegant in neatly pulled back hair. It was good to observe monochromatic charm on the set.
🙂 Kalki Koechlin walked through an amazing forest-like setup as the showstopper for Gaurav Gupta. We are already in love both with the actor and the designer. “It is definitely different from what Gaurav does. He has surprised me for good. The collection has a fairytale vibe to it,” the actor said. The collection was title Silt and Cipher.
🙂 A palette of hues like blue, silver, nude and gold looked elegant on saris gowns and lehengas. Structured drapes and ruffles were part of his signature style.
🙂 Gaurav Gupta joined hands with jewellery label Outhouse to curate special line of earcuffs for his collection.
🙂 Jayasri Burman, Paresh Maity, Rajesh Pratap Singh, Payal Pratap Singh, Manav Gangwani, Poorna Jagganthan and JJ Valaya were spotted in the row.
JUST READ: Vogue.in has written, “Mishra consciously wanted to bring the focus only on to the garments he showcased—making sure that the hair and make-up looks, set and show music were so basic that no one paid attention to it. Gaurav Gupta created a stylized set to give the impression of an enchanted land. With twisted wines and giant hands that glowed—the needful had been done.”
