It is amazing to see the fresh ideas in a fusion of traditional and trendy, stylish and chic. We look forward to seeing these aspiring designers make a name for themselves in the world of fashion”
The Design Awards show kicked off to an exciting start with vibrant designs from the participants. Designer Huda Khan's TRANSMUTE collection took everyone's breath away. It conceptualized on the ability of a flat piece of fabric to be transformed into multiple items such as garments and accessories. The collection focused on being bold, edgy, innovative and sophisticated.
Vying for attention was the PUANCHEI collection by Designer Lalnunengi presenting an ode to tradition with a call to the new generation. Focused around the traditional fabric of Mizoram, the collection depicted celebration and festivity, communicating the spirit of unitythrough simple cuts and silhouettes using bold lines.
Designer Parbani's MATI collection was inspired by the classic “A wife's letter” by Rabindranath Tagore and is a tribute to the strong personality using linen and silk in a mix of elements such as print and checks, variations of checks, crows and an abstract form of batik, supported by the traditional Kanthawork. The predominant colors used were rich Indian shades of red, ochre, and white, offset with beige, black and maroon.
INFERNO literally rocked the show with Designer Pavithra's bold and adventurous depiction of the elements of one of the most violent phenomena in nature – the Volcano. The collection, inspired by rocks and lava, played with textures, colors and patterns, portraying the energy.
Designer Naga Prachita Devi's KANCHIYUR collection drew a fresh appeal to the Kanchipuram silk fabric by incorporating them as gowns using butas fromKanchipuran temple sculptures in a rich fusion of tradition and innovation.
