MASQUERADE RUNWAY
RITIKA BHARWANI
MIDNIGHT SOIREE COLLECTION
@
LAKME FASHION WEEK W/F 2012
Young, dynamic and doué designer Ritika Bharwani
uleashed a contemporary themed collection christened ‘MIDNIGHT SOIREE’at Lakme
Fashion Week – Autumn/Winter 2012 on 6th August 2012, at 4 pm in
Grand Hyatt.
The collection paid
homage to modern contemporary architecture which was interpreted in the designs
through geometric and circular embroidery motifs juxtaposed on dramatic yet
structured silhouettes. Inspiration to this contemporary collection hailed from
the timeless European architectural design motifs which were characterized by
symmetry and proportion.
The collection dawns like
the morning sun, changing hues from molten gold to a fiery vermillion,
progressing into deeper hues such as electric blue and midnight black, played
across georgettes, jersey with shimmer foil and flowing nets. Interpreting the
art of embellishment in her own unique way, this doué designer experimented
with raised embroidery techniques using mother-of-pearl and gold metal
materials. This embellishment found the perfect partner in shimmer foil gold
jersey that has been crafted to drape along the silhouette. This high glamour
collection leaned heavily on dramatic drapes and fluid structuring that lends
itself perfectly to cocktail dresses, dramatic gowns, stylish jumpsuits as well as separates.
On this occasion, Ritika
Bharwani asserts, “Each creation of my collection ‘Midnight Soiree’ is crafted
to perfection with imaginative construction and embellishments. I am also
looking at constructive feedback that I always rely on to constantly better my
work.”
