Wills India fashion week AW 14 seems to be over, and am happy to report that the soreness of my feet is finally improving.Its was an intense week, but so well worth to see the stylish city getting its due and bring about the innate chicness of the people attending the show and aptly display their talent in a street style scout.
Its time to take a closer look,on the best of Wills fashion week(my personal favorites) and immerse in the visual Cornucopia and Feast your eyes and get some direct fashion Inspiration right from the runway !
These designers are my personal favorites and I would love to explore their designs more(especially if they are running on sale) coz they are totally worth the high price,and gives a fashion identity to some .

MRINALINI AT WIFW/AW14

Her collection named "Kashmir " displayed some Earthy Tones, Rope jackets , Slouch kurta salwar,Phiran style long Jackets,shawl pants, and cowl tie up pants ,which nearly allowed  all fashion eyes to explore the heredity of our neighboring culture. The hair were done sleek and simple and tied up at the back .Footwear all from Clarks  to enhance the raw appeal of the garments a notch higher which very much complimented the color tones of olive, black and the Khaki colored outfits .

JENJUM GADI FOR WIFW/AW14

Personally,I was looking forward to see his A/w and under no circumstance wanted to skip.
Turkish Delight is Jenjum's interpretation of designs inspired by Turkish art precisely the local iznik art.The designer added his own flare by recreating the motifs, using fine beads and ribbons, on a canvas of bold colors giving the Iznik a gentle north eastern tug which was adventurous move of the designer who blazed a trail for an innovative fashion genre, and the end result was even more refreshing. lot of  understated glamour with ethnic pride, and Jenjum conveyed it well to the audience. 
 Organza and net in porcelain weaving's and models wearing Turkish beads as head gears was  fascinating  and the designs were cutting edge.The twist to the collection was the creepers being paired with the outfits, which was a result of totally an out of the box thought process , but when fashion goes neo-ethnic everything is loved, isnt'it ?

Anita Dongre FOR WIFW/AW14

The Jaipur Bride( vol iii) - The collection was all about gypsy luxe from Ro
manian roots, but with an added inspiration of sikri work from the palaces and forts of Rajasthan. Just the right twist ! Tassels, metal cuffs , fluffed up hair and layered vests and jackets in beads and embroidery which brought about a very vagabond and a perfect boho flare, especially with the printed wedge boot(check dem out). Her designs are the most coveted ,and you really don't have to be outrageously rich to afford her ensemble ! 

Sahil Kochhar FOR WIFW/AW14

His collection Phuler-Tora -meaning a Bouquet of flowers, celebrates the craftsmenship of Sholapith(a bengali folk craft technique). The collection seemed to be buzzing with ornate embroidery  ,meticulous detailing and well structured dresses which had a very royal finish ! The show ended with models coming together holding white paper bouquets followed by a rain of paper petals which also marked the completion of the show. Indeed , the best was saved for the last.
So which one's among these are your favorites ! let me know in your comments !!
