Manish Gupta’s “Primrose” on Day 3 of WIFW S/S 2013

 

Designer Manish Gupta has already made quite a name for himself on the Indian fashion front. His Spring/Summer collection entitled “Primrose” which he debuted at Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week on October 8 catered to a distinctively international audience which is sure to put him on the global map.

“Primrose” is an apt name for this pastel-hued line which employed appliqués and beads to create 3D textures in floral-inspired styles.

Netted overlays, sheer fabric, lace and silk were his main go-to fabrics – an inspired choice that perfectly offset the floral tones.

Manish stuck to Western wear – short summery dresses and a couple of floor-sweeping beauties.

All his models sported nude or beige peep-toe pumps and two roses each in their hair.

The makeup was natural, minimal, innocent almost – perfect for such simple designs.

The collection brings to mind what a blossoming garden would look like in the hundred warm shades of the setting summer sun. It’s balmy without being heavy and fresh without sacrificing on elegance.
