Just as a moth flits around in a field of beautiful flowers, Chaitanya Rao's Spring/Summer 2007 collection at Lakme Fashion Week was a breath of fresh air in the early morning.
Styling was tender as the petals of a budding rose on gossamer fabrics like georgette/chiffon and the overall look was dreamy yet seductive and oh, so pretty.
The moth was the recurring motif on most of the dainty garments in print, embroidered or appliqued form.
The opening pale grey chiffon tunic with moths scattered all over worn with matching tights set the mood for the collection.
The frayed hem blouse with the theme embroidery was teamed with the tiniest of pleated mini skirt.
Soon there was a stream of utterly feminine clothes that set the summer mood from Chaitanya.
A shirt dress with tiny glittering motifs, a batik mini with a cream moth appliqué blouse, a chiffon cream bubble will-power dress with a tiny shrug, followed by a frayed hem acid smock, moth print dress - the collection like a favourite summer melody was enchanting to remember.
Long frayed double hem dresses and skirts ended this 'very relaxing to view and wear' collection.
Chaitanya's silhouettes were basic with mini skirts and dresses along with seamless dolman sleeve hipster blouses in colours that were muted and subtle yet a perfect backdrop for the designer's inspiration.
Accessories were restricted to broad or thin belts that moved up and down the waist line.
Chaitanya Rao has truly created a refreshing line for Spring/Summer 2007 with just the right amount of glitter.
