Lakme Fashion Week

 
Arjun Saluja
 
 
Arjun Saluja was by far the most interesting designer to show at Lakme this year. With an eye on experimenting that is reminiscent of the Sabyasachi of yore, his clothes were complex yet impeccably constructed. The muted colours allow the silhouette to speak for itself and this was varied. Instep predicts that Arjun Saluja is definitely one to watch out for in the future.
 
Sonam Dubal
 

 
Sonam Dubal, a relatively new designer from the former Himalayan kingdom of Sikkim took inspiration from his roots and paying homage to all the 'stans' (Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan) of Central Asia. He came up with an ethnic silhouette: long, flowing coats, kaftans, sherwanis were quintessentially Eastern yet without the fuss associated with bridal wear in the sub-continent. He caught critic Hilary Alexander's eye, because he was so true to where he comes from.
