There was a strong social, cultural and environmental message from Urvashi Joneja’s ‘Concrete’ collection at Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2017.
Varying aspects of progress inspired the prints and textures. The building blocks, staircases, and wrecking of the environment were adequately highlighted through the garments. These prints and embellishments appeared on Urvashi’s feminine contemporary silhouettes that have always been the hallmark of the brand.
The silhouettes ranged from off-shoulder tops, long jackets, asymmetrical peplum blouses, long flowing dresses and midis with plunging necklines and ruffle detailing. The outfits had 3D embellished flowers surfaced innovatively and vibrant prints depicted fun and modernity.
The color palette was playful and pleasant; it had shades of magenta, military green, teal, tangerine, Marsala and a hint of monochrome.
Actor/Singer Sarah Jane Dias glided down the runway vivaciously in a floor-length printed gown with cris-cross-back straps and pocket detailing that looked strikingly free spirited and lively.
The look created by Lakmé Makeup Expert, Donald Simrock, had a bold metallic purple that was created almost as a new interpretation of the colored graphic liner. When it comes to fashion that is not only stylish but presents a lasting social message Urvashi Joneja’s ‘Concrete’ collection was an ideal offering for the environmentally aware dressers.
