Introduces Spring/Summer 2013 Collection @

Lakme Fashion Week- Winter/Festive 2012

For this season, young and vibrant designer Drashta Sarvaiya’s muse is Gustav Klimt's paintings. This unique collection is a riot of colors like white, nude, yellow, mauve and purples, peaches and blues. 

Klimt’s primary subject was the female body in nude and semi nude forms are represented beautifully in emaculately draped dresses in nudes and white being his canvas before he began his paintings. Drashta has also entrenched a floral-motif light-weight brocade to capture the richness of Gustav Klimt's paintings along with his love for nature, specifically flowers. Double georgette and crepe are also a part of this season's summer collection.

Drashta excitedly explains her collection, “I've worked on peplum and have created different versions of it for various silhouettes.  The key silhouettes consist of dresses, trousers, tunics, shirts and skirts. klimt's use of gold leaf and the opulence were iconic during his golden phase. Therefore, embellishment on the designs is done with crystals in difference hues with gold & flowers. Raffia embellishment has taken centre stage to recreate thick stroke like trexture on various surfaces. ”

Drashta, through her collection, has tried to sustain the lines of her winter collection but has tweaked the peplum to suit various silhouettes, creating further volume below the waist to make the waist line appear smaller. This, according to her, adds a fun element which is a must see at the LFW Winter/Festive 2012.
