Omtex presents Krisna Mehta & Soumitra at LFW Winter/Festive 2015
Mumbai, Aug 26 (IBNS): The beauty of Banaras silks were brought to centre stage by top designer Krishna Mehta at Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2015 with her 'The Gold and the Ganges' collection.
The inspiration was Jardin Majorelle in Marrakech in Morocco.
Presenting a beautifully crafted couture collection, Krishna displayed hand woven tanchois, jangla and Jamawar silks.

She further added her trade mark Shibori, tie-n-dye techniques and then splashed the fabrics with gotta and zari work. Shades of vibrant pink, yellow and soft green came together with pastel tones. Gotta and zardozi added a refreshing touch. 3D flowers, hand painted panels and detailed tassels were a great addition.
Krishna’s silhouettes were a contemporary ode to traditional shapes. Intricate pleating and patchwork gave lehengas and draped saris a New Age Aura. Pants were teamed with overlapping peplum blouses and jackets to create a comprehensive festive offering.

A mix of drop crotch pants, draped dhoti salwars, cowl pants with kurta or mini kurtis were a colourful option.
A peplum blouse had an attached waistcoat, while ponchos looked feminine over floor length kurtas. Flared cropped shirt-collar tops, belted mandarin collar blouses and the final red bustier teamed with a lehenga and dupatta was lavished with ornate embellishments.
Bringing in her unique form of layering, Krishna ensured that the collection offered a fabulous line up of Indo-west ensembles to the discerning buyers.
When it comes to a glorious blend of Benaras textiles, impeccable layering, texturing and embellishments, Krishna Mehta was the undisputed master of the forms with her “The Gold and the Ganges” collection.
