Pure cotton, silk, chiffon, georgette and taffeta were splashed with hand embroidery using Indian craft techniques like Dabka, Nakshi, caviar beads and cut daana. Matching the beauty of the theme, the colours were in muted shades of pristine white, olive, khaki, blush and mint, while the glitter of the embellishments added the touch of shimmer. Gliding down the catwalk were models displaying maxis, gowns, skirts with provocative slits and minis, which were ideal formal wear.
The display was a lavish range of formal creations as a white mini under a chiffon long skirt, silver embroidered bolero over white pleated gown; one shoulder floor length maxi and the glittering pale mint jacket with sequined midi were gorgeous. Cropped jackets sparkled under the arc lights teamed with gowns, a long tulip skirt was worn with glitzy blouses, the Grecian draped one-shoulder gown and the final white self designed silver creation were great show stoppers.
When women desire to make that ideal silent fashion statement, Vijay Balhara’s “Muted Monologue” will create a lot of appreciative chatter.
