Spring-summer fashion scene of 2007 promises to be a riot of colours, oversized floral prints, streaks of primary colours like vermillion red, turquoise blue, meadow green and daffodil yellow, dresses are really blooming this season.
Designer Falguni Peacock's new collection this season will use pure fabrics like satin, georgettes and chiffons in floral prints, stripes and the trademark leopard prints.
She has concentrated on loungewear a lot this summer – along with some wraps, short tops, tunics and light cotton dresses, she said.
Fashion designer Nikasha's collection is colourful with fuchsia, purple, orange and green with metallic elements of silver, gold and bronze.
"I have created tunics, yoke skirts, box-pleated skirts, wraps with flirty tops with raglan sleeves. I have a jersey line which is very Victorian, a mull line with Jaipur prints and a very romantic lace cutwork feel in my Broderie Anglaise line which has summer jackets, tops, salwar pants in white," explains Nikasha.
Falguni Jhaveri of Fuel reciprocates the sentiments echoed by Nikasha.
"Bold prints on cottons and chiffons are in. Rohit Bal's linen collection in beige, pink and green tops, tunics and crop jackets and Niki Mahajan's mull collection with foil printing on it are the new spring-summer look. Also, Anshita Asnani's collection of short dresses in lycra cotton stretch has eye-catching appeal," she said.
Dresses are the in thing this season as women who are not into short dresses can go for cigarette pants, lycra tights or even denims.
As for designer Anita Dongre, chikankari work on georgettes, long tunics, summery blouses, linen trousers, short skirts in bright colours with frilly tops, formal and flowy Empire-lined kurtas paired with churidars with a shading effect, embroidery and a combination of dull gold and silver zari work, will be her stronghold this season.
"The colours I have used this season are white, flesh tones, pastels and an old rose colour that's a beautiful shade of pink," she said.
