Hues of blues colored the stage travelling through the deserts of the middle east to urban turkey.
'I have called it 'Interwined' as it is in sync with the philosophy of Wills Lifestyle - 'made for each other'. Also it indicated the way I have used fabrics to design silhouettes,' said the designer.
Beginning with whites and ivories to vivid greens and sparkling blues, culminating in a crescendo of a mix of colors, Rohit Bals' collection very correctly called 'siyaahi' or ink had dresses ranging from flowy fabrics to heavily puffed skirts and carefully structured jackets and sherwanis for men in different floral prints paired with loose and fitting white trousers- a bit of everything befitting a finale.
Apart from sherwanis, the men's wear line had shirts, trousers, zoaves and suits teamed with churidars.
Fabrics like chiffon, net, organza, jersey, georgette and brocade have been textured, pleated and used to create amazing silhouettes.
The couture was a blend of Indian and western sensibilities that stood out for its delicate craftwork and riot of colors of a single family coming together to celebrate
a certain vibrance.
Bal set the mood by decorating the walls surrounding the glass ramp with huge cut-outs of white flowers over plasma screens. Similar flowers were embedded under the ramp as well.
The show began with the lights being dimmed, and the ramp glowed in blue light and the flower decked plasma screen started turning blue as if ink was spilled over it.
The feel was instantly captured and the mood set.
One of the interesting features in Bal's collection was that he accessorised the collection with models wearing diamond necklaces and ink instead of vermilion on their forehead. The male models sported fancy nose rings.
The show, dedicated to the late Rohit Khosla, saw prominent designers, including Ritu Kumar, Rohit Gandhi, Rina Dhaka, Rajesh Pratap Singh, Raghavendra Rathore, Puja Nayar, Varun Behl walk the ramp dressed in colors of blue.... SIYAAHI.
