What: Priya & Chintan show at Lux Fashion Week
Where: National Centre for Performing Arts (NCPA), Mumbai
When: October 24, 2008

Inspired by the abstract paintings of Bose Krishnamachari’s “Stretch Bodies”, the designing duo, Priyya and Chintan presented a Spring/Summer 2009 collection at Lakme Fashion Week, which was an elegant, subdued line of utterly feminine women’s wear and some very avant garde men’s clothes.

The pair was adventurous in the silhouettes which were draped and constructed to fit the body in a stylish manner. The fabrics were in muted tones of crème, yellow, blue, maroon, white and black – some with interesting shading. Linen, jersey, georgette, chiffon and taffeta gave the silhouettes the elegance that they needed.

The slashes of colours were placed carefully by the designers on the ensembles along with the embroidery to highlight the theme of the collection. The finale was a Spanish inspired multi tulle frilled gown worn by former Miss India and super model, Madhu Sapre.
