The first day of this season's Lakme Fashion Week started with a positive note from a bunch of young designers at the Gen Next show. While all of them had elements of spark in their creations, what really stood out was the collectionby Meghna Garg. She played around well with her silk organza fabric with layering and digital printing. Crisp and very feminine, her collection was well made and well executed. Another outstanding collection was by Yogesh Choudhary. His usage of stripes in varied forms and silhouettes, both Indian and western, and notably a sari in a very contemporary presentation, was highly noticeable. Stripes in vertical and horizontal formats gave his collection a very chic look with a minimalist appeal and it was very easy for him to stand out on the runway. Among Day One's highlights was Rajat K. Tangri's show. Tangri, a favourite of celebrity stylists and fashion editors, showed a red carpet collection full of glamour and drama. Backless sequinned gowns, jumpsuits and sexy evening dresses marked a show fit for every fashionista. The four menswear entries restricted the look to suits with metallic embroidery for jackets, spiked shoulders, and a tailored suit with embellished lapels. Sailex's collection used luxurious fabrics like French chiffon, lace and light silks. The 3-D embellishments that Sailex selected were ideal for the cleverly crafted vintage silhouettes. Texturising took centrestage with embroidery.
