Anand Kabra

Anand Kabra's show entitled 'She was so dark that she was Blue' is his best collection till date. The varying hues of mysterious rivers and reflective watery prisms united this slick presentation of autumn, resort and Indian separates seamlessly!
The immaculately tailored short dresses, flattering jackets and the hip glazed cotton trench in tones of grey black and navy, were deftly shown along side looser silhouettes in hand painted silks of palest lilacs through to the deepest violet of velvet pansies. Silk chiffon floaty but structured tops in Yves Klein and Bluebell blues with accents of black looked chic over silk palazzo pants and brushed cotton wide trousers. The jumpsuit in a Lycra silk blend was masterfully cut (a rare achievement as too often this 80's look can end up looking like a leftover from an Abba reunion!). Metal button embellishment added modernity to the Indigo saris.
Bravo, Anand!
