Lakme Fashion Week: Day 4

Vivek Kumar

Sailex

Sailex brought a very unique collection to the fourth day of Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai. Satin, chiffon, and georgette brought a very feminine touch to the collection which any girl would love to wear, or at least to look at. The colors of the collection included pastels like peach, purple, and a neutral ivory which was balanced with a beautiful silky grey. The fabrics and colors made for very beautiful pieces often detailed with braided fabric. Our only concern with the collection: a whole outfit of satin may not be very flattering on every woman.

Vivek Kumar

Vivek Kumar brought a very appealing casual wear collection to Lakme Fashion Week. Simple silhouettes were a base for interesting dresses that many women can wear. A refreshing balance between classic lines and elaborate details made for a great show. Kumar used colors that complimented each other very nicely, such as orange, coffee, black, teal, and khaki. Gold detailing on almost every piece in the collection gave a touch of elegance to the whole collection.

Abdul Halder

Abdul Halder showed a bridal collection very different from what he normally creates. Instead of designing gowns for women and suits for men that appeal to Western countries, he brought Mumbai a collection influenced by traditional Indian apparel. With a color palette of bright pinks, purples, greens, and blues, his collection was a far and refreshing cry from his previous collections. If you are looking to have an Indian or Indian themed wedding, Abdul Halder has everything you will want to wear this Spring and Summer 2009.
