Commenting

Week has been instrumental in integrating India into the global fashion scene,
since 2006. This makes it another perfect launch pad for our talented designers
to showcase their creations in front of critics and experts from all around
India. It was great to witness the level of innovation our designers showcased
and I hope they take this experience with them and continue to do great work in
their careers.”
Known
for her fashionable and exquisite range of customized and hand-crafted Assamese
Mekhla Chadors with different varieties of colored silk threads, Sanjukta
Dutta’sensembles at the show were yet again a culmination of culture and
religion of Assam.She re-interpreted the traditional Mekhla Chadorswith motifs
based on the integrity, tranquility and cultural heritage of Assam in the form
of Sutradhar (the anchor of Assamese Bhaona), the Tea Gardens, Fauna of
Kaziranga, Flora of North-East, Fishing women, Weavers and Jhapi(traditional
hat). The designer selected Mugaand white as the colour theme,
which isin stark contrast to her usual colorfulselections.
Sanjukta
Dutta commented, “Although
I have been a part of several prestigious shows like ‘India Beach Fashion Week,
Goa 2016’, ‘Mysore Fashion Week: The Royal Runway 2015’ and ‘Women's Era
Palaash Miss India 2015’, apart from presenting my designs to the British Royal
Family during their recent visit to India, 6Degree has given me a wonderful
opportunity to be part of the country’s premium fashion event. Being a part of
this runway will enable me to establish a broader connect with the consumers of
the global fashion world and widen my label’s footprint extensively across the
country and the globe.Today, I feel that my decision of quitting my
comfortable government job to pursue my passion has been truly rewarded.”
Designer
Saroj Jalan’s collection was yet again inspired by the rich past of India. Her
collection, inspired by Poet Amir Khusro’s Sakalban, incorporated
the mystic beauty of Mother Nature in bold colour palettes. The delicate floral
patterns intricately used in her Zardozi and hand-woven Tussar silk& velvet
garments added a vibrant and fresh touch of feminity and poise. Meanwhile,
Hyderabad-based designer ArchithaNarayanam unveiled her enthralling bridal
collection, which was a blend of traditionalism and modernism of two cities,
‘Banaras’ from north India and Hyderabad from south India. The ensembles inred,
green and gold hues with elephant motifs and Zardozienhancements featured the
ancient and indigenous lifestyles of the two.
Designer
Sumona Parekh’s collection“Revival of the Baluchari” was inspired by the philosophy
behind her label that juxtaposes the old with the new. The original Baluchari
sarees originating from West Bengal 200 years ago in the 18th Century depict
mythological scenes on the pallu and border. Sumona’s Festive/Winter collection
used the Baluchari weave to create modern and striking contemporary silhouettes
in the form of western floor lengths to traditional lehengas.
The
collection is crafted with elegance and grandeur in Japanese kirigamitechnique,
zardozi embroidery and Aariworkto enhance the look of Baluchari in an elegant
and subtle way; making them flexible for every woman’s wardrobe. Meanwhile, the
colour palette used in the form of classic cream, red, magenta, gold to edgy
black, makes the ensembles perfect for the winter season.
