Walking the runway for Naeem Khan at New York Fashion Week September 14. ‘Spring 2017 is about 1970s glamour, reminiscent of my time spent at Halston, in vibrant colors and florals,’ the designer said.
Designer Bibhu Mohapatra’s inspiration for spring was ‘a myriad of unnamed muses who inspired not only myself, but the world of arts and culture during the prolific Parisian La Belle Époque (The Beautiful Era).
Sachin & Babi’s Spring 2017 collection started with deep exploration of ballet dancers in motion. ‘We were fascinated by the composition of grace and strength and how it relates in today’s world. The juxtaposition of influences can be found in each detail. Her strength is in the motion, from the play of multiple laces encompassed within free flowing silhouettes and hand pleated point d’ esprit in effortless shapes,’ they say. They call it ‘On Pointe: Strength within Grace.’
Inside the Runa Ray show, September 14. Asked to describe her new collection in one word, the designer, whose previous NYFW collection was inspired by origami, said: ‘Evolve.’ 4Page A26
