Favs - Lakme Fashion Week Summer Resort 2016

2016 is now 2 fashion weeks old, the Amazon India Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2016 and Lakme Fashion Week Spring/Summer. It isn't fair to compare an autumn edition to spring fashion week edition but  amazon India Fashion week really a bummer, nothing much interested me but with Lakme Fashion week , I had plenty of favourite ensembles.

I have already done a detailed post on Manish Malhotras collection Here i present to you my absolute favourites

From the house of Garo i like this front slit anarkali with printed pants. Between the semi embellished bodice, printed flare and pants , the splash of mint there is a lot going with this outfit, a very busy look but it can be a winner if styled with nude make up simple hair and zero accesories.

Rohit bal closed lakme Fashion week with a grand Finale show, I dint like much from his collection but this midnight blue anarkali caught my eye. The sleeves are weird though, not a fan of them .

This Payal khandwala lehenga is breezy and fun , perfect for summer. I love how it is paired with a turtle neck white blouse.

Fringe is a trend which i love when paired with ethnic wear and this I am design saree does it right without coming across as immature or tacky. The drape is also convenient and modernized.

Lalit Dalmia is a designer Iam not too familiar with and this Asymmetrical dress is sheer beauty. Love everything about it, the colour, the intricate work and the hemline .

Fun and feminine from Anushree Reddy this outfit is something I would wear in a heart beat, too bad i dont have a flat tummy

 Gaurang is an expert with silk sarees but dress, is Ah-Mazing.

Front slit kurtas are quite a trend this season and this striped number paired with relaxed pants  from Anupama bose is something I would love to wear

Farah sanjana has everything going right in this aqua outfit of hers. The cuts, the jacket, the blue splash and styling.

Manish Malhotra presents Elements at Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2016

The Summer/ Resort edition of Lakme Fashion week is on and Manish Malhotra opened the show with his collection titled Elements at Mehboob studios.

The collection Elements is inspired but four elements of nature i.e Fire, water, earth and air. The colours were kept soft and breezy for the modern summer bride ranging from powder blues, pastel pink, mint blues and light tangerine . There was a lot of organza, crepe , floral motifs and the cuts had a very western influence in it.

Sheer capes ar a hot trend in ethnic wear and this trend is not going anywhere soon proves manish Malhotra by giving us a lot of cape ensembles in addition to some fun silhouettes like the layered breezy pants, off shoulder blouses and jumpsuits, cape trails  and jacketed sarees.

I love Asymmetrical cuts and this collection had them in plenty meaning i cant have enough of the majority of 70 outfits sowcased. The summer bride will love this for sure, this collection is actually tailor made for sangeets with all its layers and cuts.

Here are my favourites from the show

   

 

Jacqueline Fernandez and Arjun Kapoor closed the show as show stoppers. Special love for the outfit Jaqueline fernandez wore, dreamy, romantic and oh-so-fun. Love the floor length sheer cape on the lehenga, would love to wear something like this, it will be perfect for a bride who wants to look traditional with a contemporary twist.

  What do you think of this collection?
