Ashish sahani----Bangalore fashion week A_W.3gp

Even if you don't know Ashish, you can deduce that the Kolkata-based designer, an alumnus of NIFT, Kolkata, loves challenges. For, how many designers would dare to pick only one shade of a colour for their entire line? Besides risking monotony, it also tires the eyes, especially if it's an unexciting shade of bark brown in pure cotton.
Of course, he also incorporated hints of beige to bring in some variation in the garments. The choice of colour did irk us in the beginning, but he completely won us over with his mature western line for women that largely consisted of shift dresses.

The only other constant in his collection was coconut buttons in all sizes with which he embellished his dresses. Kudos to Ashish for demonstrating as many styles, silhouettes and kinds of surface texturing as possible through the dresses. There were inverted pleats, box patterns, cowl necks and pronounced side pockets that made the garments edgy yet simple. As bottoms, he made high waist pants and fitted bermudas making the collection one of the most functional ones in the week. It also seemed like a very economical collection given that he used just two shades of the cotton fabric and steered clear of expensive embellishments. His clothes are for the thinking woman who has moved beyond the body con look. Exceptional vision in his very first show. A star is born.
