Fashion Development Council of India is back with latest edition of Spring-Summer fashion forecast for Wills India Fashion Week. Delhi is raining with models, celebrities and of course designer dresses everywhere at Pragati Maidan. In this 5 days activity, 132 designers will participate, out of which 65 will showcase their latest collections through ramp shows and all of them will have stalls in the exhibit area.
On Day one, 13 designers showcased their collections, out of which here are my Pick of the day 1:-
Payal Pratap: Payal's collection was named as Gates of Dawn. It was a boehmian collection drawing from the Kutch desert. Nomadic in Spirit, urban in appeal. Light weight fabrics used to create layers and volume. Payal has used Chanderi Moonga silk,
Beautiful colours were used for geomtric embroidery, cross stitch and hand detailing. It has both hand and machine embroidery.
The collections has silhoettes, Gathered skirts teamed with choli style corset tops, layered suits( read kurtas & churidars), Sarees. It was definitely Spring Summer collection in true aesthetic sense.
The colour contrast was beautiful and had experiments like Purple and mustard, blue & orange, Orange & green. Dark Pink and orange.
Broad multi coloured bangels were used to in large numbers to match the Kutch desert bohemian lady style. The price range is from 10 K to 30 K.
In my view it was the most wearable collection from day 1. Suttle colours, comfortable fabric, and multicoloured geometric & cross stich embroidery was making the collection so interesting. Former Miss India & Miss Universe Runner up, Manpreet Brar gave 9 out of 10 in wearability quotient.

Atsu Sekhose-The Traditional Stylist:
The second designer which impressed me and the fashion hunger audience was Atsu Sekhose. Atsu traveled to North East, his hometown, for inspiration. Touched by the effortless style of his people & the ease of summer, an intimate collection unfolds this season. Elegant parkas and trench coats in Eri Silk, layered over bold woven shorts, silk dresses, create a new graphic vocabulary.
Traditional tribal shawls & textiles have been given a new lightness for carrying comfortable by new age fashion icons. Sekhose has created a print amalgamating traditional Angami, Ao, Lotha and Sema Shawls that offers a graphic punch and gives a new global identity to these timeless woven treasures. Shots of red & cobalt colours stand out against a clean canvas of black & white.
Assamese muga silk shirt was paired with Mizo woven silk pants or Angami pencil skirts. Sleeveless tops & T-shirts are belted with sharp Manipuri woven shorts.
To give it a contemporary look, leather was used for detailing and it gave a very international look to the collection. It seemed perfect for the ATSU women who live in Nagaland & New York! Wearable Quotient- 8/10
The show was sponsored by Ministry of Textiles, Government of India. Ms.Kiran Dhingra, Secretary, Ministry of Textiles was present to grace the event.
