The afternoon of Day 4 of the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week was a lazy yet classy one.
Animalistic graphics on high-slit maxi gowns, short skirts, off-shoulder dresses, pants, tunics and jumpsuits with deep pockets rendered the collection a tint of safari adventure. Beautiful necklines stitched with conch shells, often sequinned and hanging loose like a tuft from either side of the shoulders combined well with laced, crinkled and pleated dresses.
Heavy embroidery on arms in floral stitch on pleasant pastels lived up to the summery mood of the season's collection.
Colour palette and accessories: Predominant in cobalt blue and aquamarine, the collection imparted sheer femininity with an effortless sex appeal. An intense use of laser cuts on cypholi fabric immaculately manifest on flowy jumpsuits and drapes adorned the contemporary woman in classic couture. Pair of bright shade sunglasses resting on the head roof, high-heel wedges and flats in footwear united the resort attire for a complete chic look.
Guests at the do: The packed house was brimming with prospective buyers from across the globe. Besides an omnipresent FDCI President Sunil Sethi, fashion designers like Namrata Joshipura, actor Nasir Abdullah were spotted at the event.
Every design spoke an international language while enhancing the indigenous identity of the wearer.

| Reynu Taandon lends beach wear an Indian touch |
Designer Reynu Taandon
crafted a collection quite sophisticated in appearance but flamboyant
in attitude. As she connected the dots between ease and glamour, her
Spring-Summer collection made apparent the class of women she was paying
homage to.
In her own words she said, "The resort wear collection that I intended to present was meant to foreground an edgy, classy and modern mood of a rich and famous woman who alights from her private jet at her holiday destination and wishes to mark her vacation days with sheer exuberance and high fashion."
Design, fabric and collection: Her designs were an assemblage of pure whites and hues of blue. Characterised with a fusion of style and luxury in sharp bead work and laser cuts, the outfits of varied lengths brought out the sultry season in full vivacity. In her bid to redefine cliched beach couture, Mynah introduced an unblemished use of georgette, chiffon and linen in translucent drapes embossed with embroideries that sustained the Indian touch to an otherwise high-fashion creation.
Designer's indigenous experiment with beach wear: When asked to justify the mingling of drapes of ethnic identity with a label that spoke of a 'resort' expression, a poised Reynu answered, "Well the intent is always Indian. For me it is important that an Indian wears her 'country' when attending evening parties in Miami or the Caribbean for instance. The USP of my collection is the digital printed sari in Lycra which is still nascent and evolving in the Indian fashion industry. And yes these drapes coiled around the bikini are my attempt to break the barriers of habitual beach wear, lend it an indigenous dimension without disturbing the sensual quality."

When resort met wildlife: The resort wear took another creative leap when wildlife got incorporated on the designs in asymmetric geometrics of zebra stripes and leopard prints.
