Anamika Khanna brings her collection at Wills India Fashion Weeks, which started in Delhi on Wednesday.

Soft, gentle, peaceful with an air of tranquility – that is the only way one can describe Anamika Khanna's ANA MIKA collection for Spring/Summer 2007 titled The Botanist.

Playing with two contrasting fabrics – muslin and chiffon – Anamika had a range of fluid silhouettes that floated around the body in shades of delicate pastels like beige, soft green, white, old rose pink, pista with touches of ombre, and just a hint of gold and glitter that appeared gently from under the many layered creations.

Silhouettes ranged from shifts to wrap dresses with side ties, tops, and cotton stretch leggings, delicate chiffon slips that peeped tantalizingly from flowing dresses, long layered gowns and trapeze tops.

Detailing played an important part with tiny pin tucks, antique prints of plants and multi-ribbon edges as layered garments like hooded long dresses, wrap tops, summer coats worn over hemp shorts, textured dresses with Empire line and silk chiffon capes floated down the ramp presenting a fragile, feminine and beautiful collection of summer wear.

Known for her fabric treatments like texturing and crushing to give a new dimension, Anamika's creations had all the beauty of garments of a bygone era when love, romance and tranquility ruled the world.
