Limerick by Abirr n Nanki – day one

Titled-“Back to the Stars”, an ode to astral inspirations between astrology and astronomy.

The line worked around the 12 Zodiac signs for inspiration, and was presented in four elements – air, water, fire and earth that matched the color story.

Key Elements

·         Contemporary detailing with the meticulous use of silver and laser cut techniques, along with metallic touches and tantalising acrylic tassels that were all handcrafted

·         Mix of contrasts in fabrics, as sheers and solids came together in perfect unison

·          The silhouettes highlighted the resort wear look along with saris that were introduced as traditional options for the more conservative dresser

 FASHION STORY

It was a riot of colours and prints for the four sections – knee-length skirts with long sleeved blouses, sharply cut jackets teamed with contrast lapels. Wide palazzos worn with matching bralette and beach robe and giant lapels occasionally appeared for coats and the zodiac signs’ prints on an inky background showcased the theme of the collection perfectly.

Designers’ Take

“This is our first solo show hence this collection will always be close to our hearts. It is an ode to everything magical and beyond our understanding and control as we explore the thin line between astrology and astronomy. With this collection, we have tried to modernise the ancient influences of the zodiac with latest embroidery techniques and extraordinary artworks. ‘Back to the stars’ is a showcase of new beginnings- a coming together of art and science, born from the rich heritage of our country.”
