Accessory show to feature at AIFW Autumn-Winter 2016

Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI) on Saturday announced three accessory designers, who will debut at the Amazon India Fashion Week (AIFW) Autumn-Winter 2016 in association with Maybelline New York.

Mine of Design by Sahai Ambar Pariddi, Valliyan by Nitya and Vasundhara will add sparkle to the runway with their collections, on the third day of the fashion gala that will start here from March 16, said a statement.

The event is slated to be held at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Lodhi Road.

All the three designers have come up with interesting themes. "Memoir" by Sahai Ambar Pariddi captures the compelling magic of the sea from the iridescent pearls, corals, shells to the vintage coins, displaying their magnificent colours that get reflected on the surreal waves hitting the shores.

On the other hand, Vasundhara's collection "Au Naturel" will take you on a ride to the wilderness by integrating natural rocks, filigree leaves, twigs, branches, insects and bugs in elaborate forms and patterns allowing you to adorn yourself with the beauty of nature.

The past meets the present in "Modern Mughals" a collection by Nitya of the label Valliyan, which pays homage to the luxurious aura of the Mughal dynasty. Nitya recreates intricate motifs in a contemporary style to give a sense of grandeur and opulence.

"Accessories are an integral part of an ensemble, keeping this in mind, we started the accessory show which will showcase the prowess of alternate jewellery. This also opens the doors for debutant designers, who will add a new dimension to the fashion week.," said Sunil Sethi, President, FDCI.
