Manish Malhotra, in his usual vein, promoted Indian craft but this time in the form of Phulkari. The third day of Wills Lifestyle Fashion Week was a mix of neo-bridal wear, cinema inspired prints and a pop of plaid and phulkari
Though some designers such as Abraham and Thakore, Anju Modi, and Kanika Saluja, among others have stuck to showcasing autumnal staples — woollen fabrics, chunky jackets, plaid and leggings, many presented a rather summery affair. Sulakshana Monga, who showcased some light-weight fabrics through her collection, says, “Dressing up is no more season bound these days. There are air-conditioners or heaters wherever you go, so you can dress the way you like in any season. Women love to look feminine and glamorous, and you can’t get that look in chunky jackets.”
