Shantanu and Nikhil Mehra: West meets the East!
In the History of Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week
Autumn/Winter 2014, the only designers that showcased Indian menswear in the
course of the entire day were none other than Shantanu & Nikhil Mehra. The
Designer duo presented a collection called “The Shadows Within”; it’s about an
imaginative character called Vanessa, a British woman who lived in India during
the 1930-40’s era.
Shantanu and Nikhil Mehra’s collection created a romantic
mood by using shade like oxblood, blush pink, Chocó brown, sand yellow and
white ivory. Layered Gowns paired with Victorian evening gloves, Signature
sarees and Venetian knee length cocktail dress styles added the perfect Vintage
touch to their collection. Shantanu and Nikhil tried to bring femininity in
their menswear collection so there were a lot of elegantly draped kurti’s
showcased this season. Another eye catching accessory in the men’s-wear
collection was the gilded pocket square with the bandhgala jackets. The quirky
footwear with intricate work was very well noticed. The fabrics used for the
collection were a combination of silk & cotton, which perfectly matches the
Autumn Winter Season.
Shantanu and Nikhil successfully managed to put together the
ethnic silhouettes with western-wear sensibilities in their new collection at
the Wills lifestyle India Fashion Week, 2014.

Nikasha Tawadey : BiBa
On the second day of the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week
Autumn/Winter 2014, the ramp was set on fire by Nikasha Tawadey’s fabulous
collection called “BiBa”. The designer showcased an entirely new range for the
fall season.
Nikasha only used chitz fabric in a totally vintage style
for her collection. The colour scheme for the new collection was shades like
cherry red, blush peach, champagne and burgundy wine; Red ombre was evidently
used. Slip blouses, sheer ruched tunics, muslin, chanderi sarees and kaftans
with fine-crafted hand embroidery and striking embellishments, MAGNIFICIENT!
What a delight to watch. The purses styled with the clothes were super adorable
and attractive.
Nikasha Tawadey’s collection mirrors a tranquil language
where time is the definitive luxury. The collection was a perfect blend of
classy illustrations, fabulously articulated at the Wills Lifestyle India
Fashion Week, 2014.
