Lakme Fashion Week 2011 One season goes by,http://www.veradesignz.com/library/index.asp the other comes. We don't indulge in wardrobe makeovers, but some unique style, eclectic design or edgy silhouette immediately grabs your eye. And you can't resist but give them the prime location, rather hanger, in your walk in closet! The recently concluded Lakmé Fashion Week had many such winners in the form of panelled lehengas, kitschy dresses, dapper jackets, hardware attack, grey overtones, rich embroidery and more. Here are the highlights. Utterly Indian No fashion week goes by without celebrating traditional Indian fabrics, drapes and designs. And this season saw quite a few designers showcasing interesting versions, though the silhouettes were no different. Anita Dongre's Rajasthan inspired bridal collection was a bandhini lover's delight. The traditional tie-and-dye ensembles were embellished with gota patti work, badla and metallic patterns. Manish Malhotra's Grand Finale sequence saw his trademark styles, but the panelled and layered lehengas and avant-garde gowns with silver and resham embroidery in lively hues got all the applause. But what bowled us over were Sabyasachi Mukherjee's North West Frontier Province styles that saw patialas and kurtas with eye-catching Kashmir thread work, muted silver zardosi craft that were beautifully paired with Sunderbans floral print. JJ Valaya, Neeta Lulla and Rohit Bal had some winning pieces too. Future watch Then of course, come a slew of styles that are diametrically opposite. The funky chic. The techno streak. A whole futuristic appeal that lets you bring in some robotic styles into your wardrobe. Abstract styles with interesting use of hardware like rivets, circuit parts and wheels was Deux A's highlight. Babita Malkani's Morphosis' collection too saw nuts, bolts, screws and metal sheets battling ramp space. Swapnil Shinde's of Sound' also made an impression with its clever use of plaits and folds in acrylic, PVC and leather to resemble sound waves from modern communication devices. Quirk it up! Whacky and kitschy pieces are favourites among those who love to experiment with unusual fashion quirks. And we are not talking bubble gum colours and loud patterns. Two designers who stood out during this LFW are Kallol Datta and Little Shilpa. While Kallol's Paper Planes drapes were the most talked about, Little Shilpa stuck to her creative side by encasing models in crate like rectangles with the image of blue sky and white frothy clouds. Her headgears were fun with pleated ikat fabrics and feathers doing the honours.
