DAY 1 GEN NEXT SHOW 

Gen next Designer Aniket Satam draws attention to Mayan myth 2012, in his collection “Aarambh” at Lakme Fashion Week Winter Festive 2012 on 3^rd August at Grand Hyatt. Mayan myth 2012, the last year on our calendar where the earth undergoes spiritual transformation and mark the beginningof a new era, was the sole inspiration in his compilation.

The designer worked on garments like scribbled pieces of paper with stained ink and blotches of gleaming hope thus celebrating the secret author of our own karma- our own self. The highlight of the collection was the orchestrated chaos of a new beginning forming a prime foundation to every look the designer has conceptualized.

On this occasion Aniket excitedly states, “I have worked on layered silhouettes and tactile texture narrating visceral orgy of our complex minds. Color schemes including milk, ivory, cobalt and ink- viscose are blended with fabrics like georgette, cotton jersey, raw silk and velvet are textured further with flashes of gold foil on bed of abstract embroidery strokes. It’s like adding piece of prose or not of prayer of such fashionable new awakening.”

The eye catching segment of the show was the renowned models walking the ramp like Nethra Raghuraman, Surelee Joseph, Sheela Tiruchi, Samantha Singh, looked fabulous in Aniket’s ensemble. The high voltage music and energetic crowd cheering the designer electrified the atmosphere.
