New Delhi: Designer Siddharth Tytler's collection at the Wills India Fashion Week aspired to be a tribute to moksh and the after life.
Showcasing his collection for the first time at a fashion week, it seemed Tytler wanted to find moksha beyond India. With an entirely Western ensemble, the Indian essence figured only in the fabrics.
The collection was a riot of colours, from fushia to burnt reds, mints, ivory and turquoise; the collection seemed rather a celebration of the material life than an exploration of moksh.
Structured corsets made a comeback to the ramp, paired with gypsy skirts. Expansive kaftans and lace skirts made the bomber jackets look feminine.
The essence of the collection lay in the exotic blend of silk and cotton woven especially in Varanasi for the rich panelled coats.
It was quite a his-and-her collection, with complementing outfits for both the sexes in same colours.
On the whole, the collection was quite wearable with a profusion of cuts and colours, but the designer still has some miles to go before the buyers start placing their orders.

New Delhi: Sculptural clothes and a style that is military, fashion week first timer Gaurav Gupta, who has already made his presence felt in international ramps, made quiet a mark with his audience during his show called Contradictions.
Sit up and take notice – that’s what Gupta's collection stated loud and clear. The collection showcased muted colours like olive green, grey and blacks along with a perfect blend of fabrics and jackets made in chiffon, over flowing skirts, which beautified the military.
The collection attempted to challenge mundane notions of modern fashion along with taking inspiration from ancient Greek art also.
The last segment had the designer go surreal with art influenced by ancient India, which showcased the designer's tribal jewelry collection.
