SWAPNIL SHINDE PRESENTED
FROZEN FRAGILITY
@
LAKME FASHION WEEK W/F 2012
Swapnil Shinde, an accomplished, talented and
the most loved designer among the fashion aficionados displayed an amazing set
of collections with his uber, modish, eccentric designs christened as
‘FROZEN FRAGILITY’ @ Lakme Fashion Week – Autumn/Winter 2012
on 6th August 2012, at
7.30 pm in Grand Hyatt..
The
collection was inspired from the horror flicks of the Hindi film industry from
the late 50's and early 60's. References included a vision of the lead actress
in a white sari with her pallu flying
in the air, crystal chandeliers whistling through the wind, the hero with his
rigid tweed blazers, the gothic symbolism and finally romance.
The
silhouettes were inspired from the late 50's and early 60's a sort of confined
imagery of what women should look like in those times, cinched waists, big
shoulders, exaggerated sleeves, full volume skirts.
Colour
story incorporated jet black, ivory, shades of slate and steel blue, blood red
and sunflower yellow.
FROZEN
FRAGILITY embodied a very realistic line of ensembles with just the right
touches of drama and fashion.
Designer Swapnil elatedly shares his
views, “My collection is fascinated with the effects of wind on
fabric in particular the synthesis of structure and chaos, the idea was to have surrealistic approach to fabric manipulation, folding,
pleating, fit, silhouette and structure blending fluidity with a certain level
of rigidity, freezing fabric flying, providing a visual treat to the
fashionistas. I am sure it will be a show – stopping spectacle.”
Swapnil’s Show witnessed many popular celebrities like
Sameera & Sushma Reddy, Huma Qureshi, Anushka Manchanda, Karishma Tanna,
Apoorva and Shilpa Agnihotri, Bruna Abdullah, Michelle and Delna Poonawala, Designer Masaba and Neena Gupta.
