THREE TALENTED FASHION BRANDS DAZZLED ON THE CATWALK AT THE TALENTHOUSE INDIA SHOW DURING INDIA BEACH FASHION WEEK 2015

Three winners of the Gionee India Beach Fashion Week and Talenthouse India contest held through “Fashion Recruits” a joint initiative between Gionee India Beach Fashion Week and Talenthouse India dazzled the audience with their glamorous collections.

The Talenthouse India show aimed at encouraging budding designers was a visual treat when the three brands selected from 370 entries across India presented their trendsetting creations.

ANITA SIHAG AND NITIN GUPTA – NITYAA DESIGNS

Resort wear in shades of blue, grey and white with fun prints that ranged from florals to geometrics made a stylish travel wardrobe. Layered asymmetric hemline dresses, sheer/opaque maxis, belted frocks, sexy gowns slashed to the hips and bell sleeved shift dresses were a variety of options for the jet setting woman. Clever print placement added to the style quotient of the collection.

Working around a colour theme of white and blue/purple with a mosaic like intricate print and luxurious white lace the collection was superbly crafted.

Eye catchers were the micro side pleated mini, the printed sheath with flock embroidery and a striking blue shift with centre printed panel. The final line of feminine gowns - a stunning backless version, a white lace number over blue lining and a lace and plain panelled white gown were great formal wear options that made the collection ideal for women who want to bring their femininity to the forefront.

CHIRAG NAINANI

Playing with striking indigo in daba print technique, ideal for holiday wear, the cool western wear printed line offered swinging coats, slim skirts, gilets, minis; asymmetric shirt dresses, floppy sacks, tunics over slim trousers and deconstructed shifts.

Patched pockets, contrast white collars and tonal prints were the highlight of the collection. With indigo as the main colour story with a mélange of prints that ranged from checks, pinstripes, abstract, floral to smudges, Chirag created a line of totally wearable creations that could move from day to evening wear.

The very practical shirt waister, long beach covers, shirt tail printed maxi, peplum top and rouched shorts, side trail tunic, waistcoat over slim skirt, pin striped indigo bias cut asymmetric ensemble and the flared midi long sleeve dress will delight the fashion followers.

AKSHAY KALMADI AND NEHA BHOGAL – PAPER DOLL COMPANY

For their debut collection, the designing duo used muted colours and fluid silhouettes for the summer line. Inspired by the blues and greens of the ocean, the ensembles were a sun worshipper’s delight. Intricate textured lace with embroidery, worked perfectly for beach tunics.

Soft sheer white swimwear covers were splashed with pastel blue hues. Sexy bikinis were revealed under long transparent capes, while layers of sensuous fabrics were turned into mini ponchos.

Tassels and fringes played a major role in the collection for bikinis, tops, wrap skirts, and dresses. The ultra glam swimwear was restricted to just the tiniest of bikinis in shades of white, sea green, shocking pink or black. Lace insets were periodically used for beach covers; while the pleated shaded pink georgette pants and lace top was ideal for after dark glamour. The finale was restricted to a rather risqué net flared long skirt in pale pink with a cropped loose white shimmering top.
