Fab glam: Models go blue at Fashion Week

Inspired by the distant future, the greed of mankind and the humanity of nature, Abhishek Dutta presented a collection titled 'Epidemic' at Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2012 for men and women.

The name, however, had nothing to do with unpleasant things but a profusion of happiness, co-existence and understanding for mankind.

With a colour palette starting with mystic white, Abhishek painted a feeling of joy and optimism with sunshine yellow, added marvellous magenta for love, luminous blue for truth, violet for wisdom, green for youth and fertility and harmonious blue for peace, and turned them into lean shapes with semi drapes.

The silhouettes had touches of the futuristic style having a body moulded look as well as glow in the dark print appliques, interesting cutwork embroidery and fabric manipulation.

Opening the show, the blue dress had side extensions and embroidered bodice. Abhishek then presented a blouse with white cover, yellow mini with piped blue side fins, some smartly tailored fuchsia jackets worn with cowl pants and included a violet and magenta embroidered futuristic mini.

The pleated blue shorts were ideal summer wear while the blue drop waist cutwork dress and the kerchief hem sheath were fun creations.

Men's wear had tussore jackets with a twig motif embellishment on the hem, linen shirt with cutwork yoke, grey mandarin collar jacket with two low pockets and a bundhgala with an embroidered edge.

Stopping the show was Shraddha Das, star of the comedy film Dil to Baccha Hai Ji who walked confidently down the ramp in a violet pant and a sheer embroidered top.

For that totally Avant Garde look that takes the wearer into the distant future Abhishek Dutta's 'Epidemic' collection fits the fashion grove perfectly.
