Bangalore Fashion Week

Held at Sheraton Grand with focus on Winter Festive collections, the Wear. Style Bangalore Fashion Week Winter Festive Online 2016 encompassed myriad designers launching their ensembles for the upcoming season. The collections were theme-based, emphasizing mainly on feminity and ‘Make in India’.

The 15th edition of Wear.Style Bangalore Fashion Week – Winter Festive Online took glamour and panache in style as the designers showcased their exclusive collections throughout the four day event. The 4 day extravaganza kick-started by students of the reputed training institute Dream Zone, that offers professional designing courses in Interior Design, Fashion Design, Animation, Graphic and Web Design. Among other highlights of the event were, tinsel town gliterraties Elli Avram, Nora Fatehi, Ragini Dwivedi and Mrs. India Universe 2016 Lakshmi Seshadri walking the ramp for designer Ramesh Dembla, Shazia by 6 Degrees, Michelle Salins, and Alpa & Reena, respectively.

Day 1 Devika Kalia’s Indo-western collection based on the theme Hues of Trance. The collection mainly comprised of gowns and flowy skirts with embroidered blouses. The colours used were pastels in gold, corals, soft pinks and peaches. Net dupattas, soft pink satins, the fusion of traditional embroidery on English cut gowns and beautiful soft colours were the main highlights of the collection.

An ode to Elizabeth I who is also remembered for her contribution to fashion, Soumya Patel’s Gloriana – The Virgin Queen exuded elements of women empowerment; violent and powerful; vintage and history. Extravagant gowns embedded with bows and jewels are still an inspiration for today’s designers.

Purvi Doshi’s theme ‘Rhythm of Desert’ purely focussed on the use of handwoven India-made “Khadi” fabric. Inspired by gypsy culture, geometric patterns embellished with floral highlights in vibrant colours formed the core structure of this collection.
