Designer Charu Parashar displayed her Persian inspired chic-sporty collection at the ongoing Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week Spring-Summer 2014 today.
The collection showcased intricate embroideries and woven patterns inspired by Persian culture and comprised of prints and patterns picked from Persian art.
The silhouettes showed free flowing shifts, flared pants with draped bodices, shirts and short frill dresses in shades of salmon pink to reds and whites. The fabrics used were chiffon, chanderi, cotton, silk and georgettes.
"I am really excited about this season. The new reinvented look is inspiring. I have experimented with print and embroidery. This time I tried to create a very classic look. The print is basically inspired by Persian carpets and culture. We have done a lot of resham work," Charu said.
The designer added that through her collection she is trying to create an identity for today's woman with clothes which don't just make style statements but are also classic in appeal.
On the other hand, designer Aneeth Arora showcased her 'Labour of love' line, which was a completely hand stitched clothing by her brand 'Pero'.
The collection showed handwoven chanderi lace panelled top, beaded top, embroidered chanderi dress, skirt, asymmetric jacket, polka dot jacket and bottom, checkered shorts and skirts.
Colours used in the collection were mellow ones like white, beige, light green and pink.
The models sashayed down the ramp wearing hand gloves and head bands, giving away a very vintage look.
