CHIAROSCURO
AUTMN WINTER COLLECTION 2007
Lakme Fashion Week 2007, Mumbai, India
The concept behind the collection is the technique of Chiaroscuro (light and shadow). "It is the movement from clarity into obscurity. Things are revealed and then hidden".
The collection draws inspiration in the form of colors and fabrics that mimic light and shadow. "Light" colors like gold and dusty orange and ivory are combined with browns, greys and blacks which are the "shadow" colors. Similarly some fabrics like silk, satin and velvets are glossy and reflect light and other fabrics are matt wool that absorb light.
The surfaces and motifs are treated using subtle ornamentation and texture that play with light.
The silhouettes comprises of Jackets and dresses that exude an eclectic lifestyle of the wearer
