Rehane at Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week 2010

Rehane's Exotic expressions

Rehane, in her collection titled Antolio', drew her inspiration from all things in ' Asia Minor '. Her WIFW NW 2010 line presented a vibrant and exotic collection in a bold lookher signature style.

The colour story for this collection was strongly salmon, deep aqua, turkish blue and antique gold. Rehane emphasised a lot on the cuts which were structured yet complimenting the female silhouette. A dominant influence of Turkey was seen in the collection. In keeping with the contemporary and bold look, a lot of black with red floral embroidery was also dominant in the designer's collection. Semi circular pockets with detailing, embroidered back yokes and baby doll styled dresses flounced at the waist were a delight for the onlookers. The fabrics used varied from jacquard to satin and velvet to georgettes. A feminine, chic, playful and elegant collection.

Charu Parashar's 'Hidden Warrior in a Woman'
Charu Parashar showcased her collection named 'Shooma Macq Bool Hasteen' at the WIFW NW 2010. The show started with dim lights and four models tied from top to toe like mummies with bandages standing still on the golden ramp with only their black eyes peeping out as a sign of life.

Adhering to her signature style, prints were seen once again blended with knits. There were strong influences of bright Egyptian and Persian geometrics in these prints imparting a multi-dimensional feel. The colour palette was a range of wintry dominant black with touches of turquoise, ivory, yellow, sea green and fuschia. The fabrics had fluid drapes giving a luxurious feel by the use of silks, chiffons, satins and cotton. Fabrics were painstakingly constructed with fine quilting techniques, crinkled effects, tassels, gathers and anchor threads.

Silhouettes emphasised on drapes and construction. There was a psychedelic array of geometric prints on Iycra leggings, highlighting the ensembles. The styles were dominated by dresses in various lengths, kaftans, hooded jumpsuits and jackets, bringing out the warrior element by the use of padded and extended shoulder. The models were carrying bronze and silver oxidized metal head gears and chest armours.
