From Margarita flowers on feminine silhouette to embroideries inspired by leaves and petals, designer Aneeth Arora accessorized nature in her collection 'Pero' which opened the Wills India Fashion Week Spring Summer 2015 here.
Dresses and tops in hues of white, with a tinge of red and green formed the ensemble of Aneeth's collection.
"The floral embroidery is the highlight of my collection and the theme is to combine nature as accessories. If women can wear diamonds why not flowers? That's my inspiration. I have designed something which is easy to wear and very comfortable," Aneeth told PTI.
Another highlight of the young designer's line was crochet work exclusively done by a group of Afghani women.
"That's a very special thing. These Afghani refugees in Bhopal designed crochet for my collection. They also influenced my collection. We started with scarfs then moved to dresses," she added.
Aneeth, who is known for designing her own textiles, says this is for the first time that she has experimented with embroideries.
"I work with base textiles and that itself is very tough so I was scared to embellish further and add embroidery to it. But this time I have done that finally, used traditional embroidery and contemporarised it," she said.
The designer said her target audience consists of women who don't care about trends.
