The Desi Empire State of Mind

L to R: Naeem Khan, Bibhu Mohapatra and Sachin & Babi

Fashion month is upon us, and it was kickstarted with the ever -so-chic New York Fashion Week. Showcasing collections for Spring/Summer of the upcoming year, the runways shone with lively colours,reinvented concepts, and exquisite design. Not only is NYFW known to draw crowds from around the world, but also designers hailing from around the globe. These connoisseurs get to set the hottest trends for the season in the Big Apple, and India was not to be left far behind. Naeem Khan, Bibhu Mohapatra and Sachin & Babi made a sizeable dent on the fashion armour with stellar collections, and it looks like they’re here to stay. Here’s a roundup of their collections!

Naeem Khan

The very biggest names are patrons of Naeem Khan’s magnificent designs—Michelle Obama, Vanessa Hudgens and Bella Thorne to name a few. The designer took inspiration from the ’50s and ’60s for his uber glamorous spring-summer collection. The splendid taffeta ball gowns were the highlight of his collection. Crafted in lively pinks and yellows, the gowns were embellished with exquisite beadwork in floral and paisley patterns, and came packed with pockets. Other garments included magnificent printed slit dresses and a gown with striking red embroidery. Khan definitely wowed the crowd but really, does he ever disappoint?

Bibhu Mohapatra

 

Bibhu Mohapatra’s collection stunned New York fashionistas with impeccably tailored garments. Heavily influenced by the Bauhaus era and Swiss photojournalist Annemarie Schwarzenbach, the line had an androgynous, minimalist theme. Geometric shapes and textures were the norm, and luscious neoprene and silks dominated the runway. Jumpsuits and gowns in gorgeous silvers, greens and dusty pinks strutted alongside striking abstract printed pant suits. Mohapatra’s distinctive aesthetic was one of the most unique ones seen at NYFW.

Sachin & Babi

Spring/Summer 2016 done in the Sachin & Babi way is a dreamy and romantic spectacle. Off-shoulder midi dresses, and formal blouse and pants combinations featured fanciful floral motifs, but the highpoint of the collection were the flamboyant gowns by the husband-wife duo. Three-tiered chiffon delights, these gowns were ensconced in refreshing flowers in primary colours. The dynamic pair also included gorgeous casual evening wear in the show held at their East Side townhouse.

Designer Spotlight: Rahul Mishra

 

If you follow Indian fashion, then you know Rahul Mishra is the name to know in fashion circles. Hailing from Malhausi, a small village 50 miles away from Kanpur, he was far removed from the fashion world growing up but you’d never know it judging from his recent successes on the runway. After pursuing a degree in science at Kanpur University, it was a chance encounter that got him to enrol at the National Institute of Design in Ahmedabad. Turned out, this master’s degree helped him find his metaphoric calling.

                                                                                        Couture 2015 collection

Mishra’s early accolades like winning the ‘Fiesta Italiana Talent Hunt Contest’ by Indo-Italian Chamber of Commerce affirmed that the Kanpur boy was incredibly talented. His stint at NID finally provided him with the creative space that he needed to hone his skills, and it also led to a realization that design could be used to uplift fading Indian arts and crafts. In 2006, he debuted at Lakme Fashion Week with collection featuring handloom techniques from Kerala. Needless to say, it won rave reviews. This collection also earned him a scholarship with Istituto Marangoni, Milan, where he created a new range using chikankari (Lucknowi work) by innovative pattern making that reduced the textile consumption up to 30 per cent.

                                                                                      Maheshwari collection

It was only a matter of time until the world took notice. He was one of nine international designers invited by the Hong Kong Polytechnic University to be a part of a landmark exhibition, and also won the International Designer of the Year award at the International Apparel Federation annual convention in Netherlands. The Victoria & Albert Museum, London briefly exhibited his chanderi work, and National Geographic showcased his label’s philosophy in a UNESCO documentary.

But the best was yet to come. In 2014, the designer won the coveted International Woolmark Prize—an award that only the likes of Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld have been honoured with in the past. Mishra was the first ever Indian to win it. Up next was a coveted spot at Paris Fashion week, which he’s been showcasing at ever since.

No amount of international adulation has swayed the brilliant designer from his core belief—to ‘let craft lead the way’. He continues to innovate and actively work towards bringing Indian crafts to the global spotlight and elevate those who struggle to keep the art alive every day. His most significant act has been the reverse migration of artisans from the slums of Mumbai back to their craft villages in a bid to provide them steady employment.

Mishra’s silhouettes contemporise the traditional fabrics he is so partial to in a bid to appeal to the modern Indian woman. He is particularly known for reinventing sari blouses—from overlapping jackets and capes to bomber jackets. Mishra is also often gives essentially western silhouettes like embellished sweatshirts, pencil skirts and sheath dresses his signature update.

Come 2015, Mishra continues to be a fashionable force to reckon with. Presently, the Victoria & Albert Museum plans to permanently showcase his Woolmark Prize collection, and the label retails at the snazziest fashion chains across the world. There’s also the PFW SS ’15 show we just can’t wait for!

Best of Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2015

The Winter/Festive phase of Lakmé Fashion Week is over and we’re still daydreaming about the fashionable treats we saw walk down the runway! The runway glittered with Indian, western and fusion gems during the ultimate celebration of fashion. Here are our top picks for the upcoming festive season:

Nikasha

Nikasha threw it all the way back to the roaring twenties with her shimmering golden and pink collection ‘Indira et Amrita’. The signature twenties fringe swayed on silky camisoles, flapper dresses and semi-sheer draped pants. Inspired by sisters Amrita and Indira Shergill, the glimmering garments also featured her signature lily blossoms. The Gatsby-esque collection was accessorized with ombre tassel earrings and twinkling headbands.

Manish Malhotra

Decadence and royalty were the essence of Manish Malhotra’s line this season. Navy blues, deep maroons, ivory and rich browns were a staple throughout the line. Full-skirted gowns with plunging necklines in opulent materials like velvet and silk, and sparkling off-shoulder ball gowns stood out. Do we see a shift from Indian to decidedly western silhouettes for the new-age Indian bride? The collection invoked a strong sense of regal magnificence.

AM:PM

The ‘Siyah’ collection by AM:PM (Ankur and Priyanka Modi) stood out in elegant ivory, red, and black shades. Panelled skirts, structured maxis, draped dhoti pants, and peplum jackets in silk, organza, and satin dominated the runway, all of them adorned with mukaish work and intricate embroidery reminiscent of Islamic crafts and architecture. Daring slits and cutout details gave the graceful collection an edgy twist. The highlight of the collection was a rosy red structured sari with a peplum blouse.

Shruti Sancheti

Pinnacle by Shruti Sancheti drew from the culture of beautiful fabrics from Benaras and fused it with Japanese silhouettes for her line ‘Kaashi to Kyoto’. Using chanderi, silk, dori embroidery and Chinar print, she created flowing kimono jackets, capes, and asymmetrical tops with billowing sleeves in maroon, blue, wine and gold. These were paired with slim skirts, culottes, midis and lehengas for the ultimate ethnic fusion collection.

Ridhi Mehra

Ridhi Mehra kept it simple with classic hues like red and blue with floral applique work. She played peekaboo with sheer fabrics, draped dupattas, and pre-stitched capes. Tailored jumpsuits added an element of playfulness, but Ridhi also kept the Indian vibe alive with marsala lehengas.  The collection notably included a gorgeous royal blue gown, resplendent with gold embroidery.

Gaurang Shah

Reinventing Varanasi (a city in Uttar Pradesh) heritage was the aim of Gaurang Shah’s winter collection, and it did so with flair! Featuring traditional silk saris in reds, pinks, oranges and yellows, the collection truly celebrated the culture and fabrics of Varanasi. Gaurang added a twist to it with a touch of contemporary and quirky prints. There is just one word that aptly sums up this collection—vibrant!

Destination Wedding Packing Hacks – What Not to Pack!

 

Planning a destination wedding is no piece of cake. It takes months and months of organizing, inviting and coordinating! Oh and let’s not forget, the pain of packing for those invited! It’s completely unlike packing for any other vacation—given how fragile and expensive your wedding items can be, you’re definitely going to be under immense pressure and stress. The trouble of customs and excess luggage can instantly send you in a tizzy. But don’t you worry, because we’ve got you covered with a list of what NOT to carry to the next dream destination wedding you’re attending. Read on to find out!

Your entire collection of real jewelry

Let’s face it, when you’re travelling to another city or country, there is always the possibility of luggage going missing. Or what if something gets misplaced at the hotel? That’s why it’s better to stick to semi-precious baubles instead of the real deal.

Luxemi Pick: Floral Diamonique and Pearl Set

Never-ending layers

There’s no debating that you want to look your best. You’ve probably even purchased a fair share of heavy lehengas and anarakalis, but how are you going to pack them? Clothing with layers of can-can are best avoided. Choose lighter options like sleek kurtas and fuss-free saris that are easy to pack.

Luxemi Pick: Pink peony printed sari

 Fragile items

You do not want to see your precious Indian wear getting ruined. Heavily embroidered saris or particularly delicate ones, stiff corset blouses, and lehengas with plenty of work should not be stuffed into your suitcase. They deserve extra TLC so save them for a wedding in your hometown.

 

Uncomfortable heels

Doesn’t matter if you’re the bride or the guest; weddings mean hours of standing and socializing and, of course, dancing! Don’t pack heels that will leave your feet sore the next day, making it difficult for you to enjoy the rest of the festivities. Opt for wedges and platforms over stilettoes for maximum comfort. There’s nothing like flats, of course!

Too many hair appliances

Don’t carry your entire arsenal of heavy hair appliances. Most hotels have hair dryers and, if you’re looking to get ironing or curling done, there is bound to be a salon nearby. Or, coordinate with your friends so you aren’t lugging your entire bathroom cabinet with you!

Fashion Hacks Every Desi Girl Ought To Know!

Whoever said shortcuts will get you nowhere was obviously mistaken. The right short cuts can change your life. Dramatic? Maybe. But we found a few hacks that will instantly take your Indian clothing game to the next level. Not only are these Luxemi-approved, they also have the power to transform your wardrobe (which is synonymous with changing your life, of course).

• Dressed to the nines but just noticed the creased collar of your kurta? Don’t fret! Just pull out your hair straightener and iron away!
• In case you’re running late for an event and still haven’t done your hair, skip the neat bun or braids. Simply spritz on some sea-salt spray and get ready to break a few hearts with your desirable waves!
• Dropped some of your favorite red on your brand new cream sari? No need to worry! Just dab it gently with a cloth soaked in white wine to do away with the blot. And then pour yourself another glass, maybe?
• Yellow sweat patches can often be a menace on light colored clothes. Spray some lemon juice on the stains before you put them to wash.
• Never wear freshly ironed clothes right away. Let the fabric cool for 5 minutes to avoid creating new wrinkles.
• Can’t find your earring clasp? Use a small piece of eraser as the substitute!
• Having trouble wearing your new embellished jootis? Place a bag of water in each one to stretch them out and leave them overnight in a freezer. If you don’t have time to do that, just put on a pair of socks underneath them and blow dry!
• Liquid dishwasher detergent and an old toothbrush are the only things you need to keep your diamonds set sparkling forever!
• Hang your heavy anarkalis and lehengas overnight to get rid of creases on them.
• Your maang tikka giving you trouble yet again? After securing it in your hair with pins, use double-sided tape to secure it to your forehead.
• Need to try on a churidar but don’t have the time to try it at the store? Check if the waist of the pants wraps around your neck once, without any overlaps. If it does, then it will fit you just fine!
• If the zippers on your salwar keep getting stuck, rub them with a lead pencil and watch them slide smoothly!
• Pin a safety pin to the inside of your salwar or blouse in case of an emergency. If a button pops or the zipper breaks, you’ll be prepared!
• Place muslin cloth or a plastic sheet between every fold of real zari saris. This will not only keep the colour intact, but will also make sure none of the embellishments scratch into each other.

Best of the Best at Amazon India Couture Week 2015

 

Just recently, the crème de la crème of the fashion fraternity descended in Delhi for Amazon India Couture Week 2015 (read: 29^th July – 2^nd August). Some of the country’s best couturiers showcased their bridal wear—from cocktail gowns to fusion ethnic wear—proving, once again, that beautiful excess is here to stay. Whether it was Persian folklore, boho-luxe or floral motifs; each and every show was a pure visual feast! We round up the designers who set the stage on fire.

Sabyasachi Mukherjee

When the king of bridal wear, Sabyasachi Mukherjee, pairs up with the king of red soles, Christian Louboutin, everyone hopes to catch a glimpse of the action! Sabya’s signature voluminous lehengas came with a twist—they were trimmed down to slimming, figure-skimming silhouettes. Saris made an appearance with long jackets, capes and corsets. When it came to the embroidery, the designer went all out with dense work in muted gold.

 Manish Malhotra

Deep red, forest green and glamorous gold—the ultimate shades for Indian brides—dominated the runway at Manish Malhotra’s show. The designer focused mostly on western couture, like enormous skirts and velvet jackets that would work for cocktail and reception parties. He added a refreshing spin to florals, presenting large motifs that were bright, colourful and funky. The show also marked the return of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to the ramp, sizzling in a breath-taking marsala gown with splashes of gold!

 Rimple and Harpreet Narula

 

Rimple and Harpreet Narula’s collection was an ode to the splendor and extravaganza with which Indian Maharajas led their lives. The line paid homage to regal insignia as well as fine craftsmanship in shades of ivory, beige, burnt gold, and ruby red. Consisting of gold karigari, handcrafted embroidery, and crystals embedded on capes, robes, billowy jackets, majestic cloaks and lehengas; each piece narrated the interactions of Indian royals with western influences. Showstopper Shilpa Shetty shined in a shimmery gold lehenga choli, truly making it a royal affair to remember!

 Anju Modi

Persian folklore came alive on the runway with Anju Modi’s show. Inspired by miniature paintings, Rumi’s verses, Islamic influences, and fairytales, the designer’s models were dressed in traditionally ornate wedding attire. The collection’s highlights were her voluminous lehengas worn with intricately embroidered cholis and multiple dupattas. Modi didn’t ignore the new-age woman either—the unconventional combination of contrasting hues, such as turquoise with black, mustard with blood red, or even mint green with rani pink, will be a hit among modern brides.

 Varun Bahl

Varun Bahl’s classic lehengas, saree gowns and anarkalis were an aesthetic treat with their fascinating floral designs. Seen in delicate fabrics like tulle, georgette, silk, and crochet, the outfits came in hues of sensual creams, pale pinks, glossy golds, reds, and blacks. The ensembles featuring gold-tinted 3D roses and pearls stole the show, while a pair of trousers with floral embroidery was the obvious showstopper!

 Rohit Bal

Flora and fauna were the predominant theme at the ever-theatrical Rohit Bal’s sprawling showcase. Clusters of red, black and white roses worn around the models’ heads and necks added to the drama. Flowing lehenga skirts and structured sherwani jackets were detailed with Persian embroidery. The motifs consisted of florae, various long-tailed birds, and even elephants and camels. The best part was the flutes of champagne held by models; enhancing the celebratory mood every wedding party and Rohit Bal show carries!

Designer Spotlight: Urvashi Kaur

 

Fusion clothing is all the rage at the moment—every designer is busy converting saris into gowns and turning peplum tops into blouses in a bid to add their own unique twist to traditional wear. In the midst of so many who struggle to achieve the perfect balance, there is one name that stands out as an effortless infuser. Urvashi Kaur’s contemporary and unique interpretation of Indian textiles provides a much-needed breath of fresh air in a sea of sameness. Her wearable, sustainable and affordable collections are just what the modern Indian woman wants.

A graduate in fashion from ESMOD International, Paris, Urvashi began her career by working under fashion moguls like Marcel Marongiu, Lolita Lempika and Issey Miyake. In her earlier years, she was involved in theater and never really saw herself as a fashion designer until she was asked to create costumes for the first Broadway show in India, ‘Starlight Express’ by Aamir Raza Hussain. That’s when it hit her that fashion was where she belonged. Her label began as an attempt to revive India’s vibrant textiles through designs that are global in construction. Since her debut at Lakme Fashion Week Spring/Summer ’08, she began to showcase at various fashion weeks across the country, quickly carving a niche for herself.

 

Struck by wanderlust, Urvashi admits that her travels are the treasure trove she draws inspiration from. Exploring and discovering new worlds, she loves learning what makes a particular place and its people tick. For instance, her Spring/Summer ’15 collection is based on her experience visiting Xining, a remote city in China, located high up on the Tibetan plateau. The free-spirited nature of the people there forms the cornerstone of this collection and can be seen and felt in every piece.

Although innumerable fashion designers choose to go bold with graphic and art-inspired prints, Kaur focuses more on keeping her silhouettes androgynous while experimenting with fabrics and colours. The one thing that truly shines about her design aesthetic is the fact that there is immense scope to mix and match. A blue form-fitting sheath dress can instantly be converted to an anarkali by throwing on a churidar and dupatta, while you can pair her signature dhoti salwars with a more western top.

Based on her glocal philosophy, Kaur’s designs promote Indian textiles while being noticeably international in their appeal. Her use of Indian weaves, such as kota, mulmul and chanderi, along with age-old Indian techniques, like block printing and ikat prints is absolutely incredible. Heralding a new age of sustainable luxury, the designer’s creations are much loved by Bollywood’s sweethearts too. From Shradhha Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra to Neha Dhupia and Tisca Chopra, no one can resist the charms of Urvashi’s chic, laid back and eco-friendly fashion.

Priyanka Chopra’s Desi Style File

Miss World 2000, performer par excellence, sensational songstress, and a total diva—Priyanka Chopra’s long list of merits just keeps on growing.

Layering Necklaces 101

 

Want to update your look with some stop-and-stare intrigue? Layering necklaces—the “it” accessory trend of the year—is the fail safe way to go and it’s what style set and fashion frat is swearing by too! That’s pretty much all the convincing we need to jump on this utterly chic bandwagon.

Throwing on a range of necklaces in varying lengths and textures adds diversity and movement to a look. It also gives us fashionistas a free playground to mix and match like a boss. What’s more, you can flaunt a bunch of your eye-catching buys in one go. And while there aren’t any pre-prescribed rules to layer, a few ace pointers will ensure that you’ll never go wrong with this accessorizing style!

• Start small. Start with the smallest necklace and then add bolder pieces to the mix. Starting with a choker or dainty pendant works well.
• The next piece works wonders if it’s in a different style, say a bar necklace added to a choker, for instance. Finish with a flourish—the longest chain necklace would be our pick. And voilà, you’re good to go!
• Make sure the outfit you pick is relatively fuss-free. Clashing metals over embellished blouses will just make the look too distracting—you need your layered wonders to be the highlight of the look, after all. Pastels and clean cuts with minimum print usually work best with this kind of accessorising.
• Multiple chains instantly elevate a salwar or kurta. So skip the dupatta—let your baubles take center stage. An overcrowded look is just going to play spoilsport.
• Don’t constantly fidget with your army of chains in a bid to set them. Let them fall where they may. Micro managing these strands will only complicate things—let physics take its natural course and focus on wearing your beauties with the confidence they deserve.
• Diversity is the king, Adorn chains in a plethora of varying lengths and styles. Aim for contrasting aesthetics. For instance, we can’t think of anything more head turning combination than a gold temple jewelry choker with a soft pearl strand for a well curated effect.

Don’t know where to start shopping for layered necklaces? Our Dual Strand Gold Gungaro Necklace and Gold Ball Necklaces and Earrings-Turquoise are great starting points!
