Anushka Khanna makes her mark on Day 4
of Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2014
Designer
Anushka Khanna showcased her latest collection ‘Boom Boom Bloom’ on March 15th,
2014 at the Summer/Resort edition of the Lakme Fashion Week. The show was
attended by Kajol, Manish Malhotra, Ashiesh Shah, Shabana Azmi, Gaurav and
Pratima Bhatia
About the Collection:
“There were so
many references on my mood-board for this collection. I was fascinated by the
idea of clothes that can be trans-seasonal. I wanted to have a collection of
updated staples that is applicable for the entire year, and not anchor it to
one particular season.
I was feeling
an Indian summer in New York—sultry, unseasonal weather that demand clothes
that are slinky. Barely there slips, soft-to-the-skin pajama dressing and
easily-belted kimono jackets over the tiniest shorts, married urban elements
with fluid silhouettes.
There was also
a moment when Studio 54 came to mind—all that jazzy lame, wrap dresses,
sweeping maxis. It was a time of such ease in clothing and that’s what I have
tried to capture.
Throughout the
collection, a power flower dominates. A photograph of my mother in the
Seventies really set off the idea of dark, almost moody florals. I’ve taken
that motif through print and embellishment.
The collection
again highlights embellishments, cutwork, embroidery, use of colour, and an
update on classic silhouettes, which I continue to play with. The placement and
geometry of embellishments is also something I have focused on."
