AIFWAW18 with Abraham and Thakore

written by Coquettes

It was a bit of a somber mood this time around at Amazon India Fashion Week Autumn Winter 2018. Call it the low turnout, missing big names or star power, the usual buzz was missing at AIFWAW18. Guess the only thing making our day brighter were the outfits from Abraham and Thakore.

We attended two days of the fashion extravaganza (gone are the days of attending all five days) and spent time watching shows, exploring the exhibition area, hobnobbing and ofcourse get photographed!

Matching the venue’s monochromatic aesthetics were our all Black and White outfits from Abraham & Thakore. While Amanda decided to go out of her comfort zone with this sari (doesn’t she carry it off with elan?) , I got back to basics with a kurta tunic and pants. We definitely had to give it a twist (see the belts)!

Here, check these out.

5 Designers who nailed AIFWAW18

written by Coquettes

We were rather disappointed to see the regulars missing this time around at the Amazon India Fashion Week Autumn Winter 2018. But we did a little scouting to bring the best from AIFWAW18.

Here is our pick of the top 5 designers from the recently concluded fashion extravaganza.

Pero

Now this is one show we always look forward to. And to our surprise, we were transported to a candy land! Moving away from her staple colours- indigo, black and white, designer Aneeth Arora chose a vibrant colour palette this time around. Pink and corals brightened a rather gloomy winter. Printed florals complemented the checks.

Siddartha Tytler

Taking inspiration from Japanese rockstar warriors, Siddartha Tytler put together a sports-luxe collection- ‘Fuss’. It was a blend of street style and high street. Jogger pants, bomber jackets and boyfriend suits embroidered with metal hardware stood out.

 

Shyamal Bhumika

Shyamal and Bhumika Shodhan paid a tribute to the mood that is- Paris. The intricately designed collection consisted of dainty lace and silk saris, cocktail dresses, lehengas and more. The designers played with velvet and organza fabrics.

Sahil Kochhar

Sahil Kochhar’s Autumn Winter 2018 collection ‘Chitr’ was high on craftsmanship. Dark colour palette was contrasted with striking florals in mustard, bright red, beige and olive. There was use of applique. Semi sheer shirts and cape jackets stole the show. You know we love you Sahil!

 

Abraham and Thakore

Abraham and Thakore’s collection #SadakSmart was inspired by the streets of Delhi. There was an abundance of the duo’s signature monochromatic pieces. Though brown, beige and navy blues broke the monotony. There were loose-fitted pants, saris, trench coats, jumpsuits and the humble gamchha. Being AT muses this season, we have to confess our bias towards the designers.

All things stylish at Delhi Times Fashion Week with Orient Electric

written by Coquettes

We had the pleasure of attending the recently concluded Delhi Times Fashion Week as guests of ORIENT ELECTRIC. And we must say it was quite a grand affair!

 The brand known for its stylish, elegant and fashionable fans was a perfect partner to present designer Niki Mahajan’s collection- YUVRANI. Strutting down the ramp were models adorning royal ensembles with delicate embroidery inspired by Polki jewellery.

Today’s customer is fashion conscious not just with clothes but also with home décor. Hence, the fit with Orient Electric. That ‘Dream Home’ is just not about paint & furniture. Fixtures occupy an important place. And a stylishly designed premium fan adds dimension to the 5th wall. We mean there is so much drama one can create with fans. Lights, design, colour, shape, phew! Choosing a fan is a time consuming process, putting thought is very important.

Showcased at the event was the brand’s latest range of AEROSERIES fans designed to deliver astounding air delivery with minimal sound. Silent yet powerful we say! Orient Aerostorm’s unique winglet design minims noise while delivering maximum speed. When it comes to styling, the fan is a stunner with its premium high glass PU finish. Orient Aerolite comes with a decorative light.

 

For us, Orient Electric’s good looking & well performing fans were the real SHOWSTOPPERS! We highly recommend you check out the collection.

Just Juxtapose | Grease & Glam | Part 3 with H&M

written by Coquettes

We feel location is paramount to just about everything else about any shoot you plan. Just like the clothes and the photography  location scouting is also as vital a factor to enhance a picture.

As fashion bloggers we have done a lot of shoots and are aware of how tedious the whole process is but this time around when we planned to shoot it in a car garage, I kid you not, it was a TASK.

From zero ventilation to grease all over our hands to posing with the vehicles with no source of light whatsoever barring a window – we really did push the envelope quite a bit to do justice to our theme this Winter, #Grease&Glam

Had it not been for H&M and Nishant’s photography, I don’t think we would have managed to pull this off!

Just Juxtapose | Grease & Glam | Part 2 with H&M

written by Coquettes

Our  take on this Winter 2017 trend of refined dresses and sharp outerwear is a tad bit different in terms of the creative energy that Nishant Jhamb has tried to capture from his lens. What happens when the grease and grunge of a car garage meets sophistication for H&M Studio Womenswear AW17?

The outcome is “Lethal” – Merging a location as edgy as a car garage + soft silhouettes with feminine patterns  – leading to something as beautiful and fearless as this.

Have A Look!

Just Juxtapose | Grease & Glam | Part 1

written by Coquettes

Inspired by the juxtaposition of  elegance with the industrial elements of the garage is what led to Grease & Glamour.

While H&M’s strong tailoring reflects the need of a modern women’s wardrobe, Nishant Jhamb’s  composition of the vehicles and post-production effects tie Fashion and Grunge together impeccably.The contrast here creates a nice tension with a sharp outerwear – versatile separates and statement accessories.

AIFWSS18 at a Glance

written by Coquettes

Day 1 at the fashion week is usually the most happening. That’s also the day we bunk office and strut our way through (considering day jobs don’t give us the liberty of attending all days) the festival venue. And we continued with the tradition for AIFWSS18.

A lot of you ask us as to what conspires at a fashion week besides the shows ofcourse! So here we give you a little round-up of what our Day 1 at Amazon Indian Fashion Week Spring Summer 2018 looked like.

RockNShop was our sartorial saviour for the day and surely some heads did turn as we made our entry at the venue- NSIC Ground, Okhla, New Delhi. Can’t tell you how much we miss Pragati Maidan hosting the week 🙁 But such is life.

 

 

Meeting long lost friends from media, PR, brands,designers, models, etc is what we love doing the most (did someone say networking, sshhhh…). On top of the agenda is also finishing our collaboration work before we let our guards down!

Amanda sure loves her phone

Hobnobbing, attending pre/post show parties, checking out the lounges, designer stall in exhibit areas and yeah an energy shot is what we do next.

At the HONOR lounge

 

At the CIVIL HOUSE pop up

And ofcourse how can we miss attending the shows. Our favourite from Day 1 has to be Nida Mahmood.

The poster boy MILIND SOMAN

Lastly, we do keep our eyes open for all the STREET STYLE inspiration.

Hope you liked our little #AIFW diary. Follow us on INSTAGRAM for more updates!!

Festive Flair with Nicobar

written by Coquettes

The season of Diwali not only brings with it a wave of pujas and festivities but also stacks up your sartorial calendar with numerous cards parties. Obviously, there’s no better time to place your bets on the best of ethnic wear than in this leg of the party season. Given the Diwali celebrations have already begun, it’s time to prep your ethnic wear wardrobe to help you put your best foot forward with NICOBAR.

Here goes our FESTIVE EDIT.

Either embrace the six yard drape and work an embellished sari for the evening or Step into anarkalis in bright tones or if heavy duty is not your thing then opt for something fuss free and classy!

 


Adding a statement bag always helps.

 

Going with Nicobar‘s beautiful twirl-worthy tunics with a long jacket instead of a traditional dupatta is what we’ve opted for the festive season.
