Pallavi Jaikishan introduced for
the first time on the ramp a bridal wear collection that had a triple offering
at the Aamby Valley India Bridal Fashion Week 2013. A new colour palette of
garnet, oxblood, and maroon was an unconventional addition to the line from the
designer.
A leaf lined ramp and towers of flowers covered the pillars
on the stage to create the right ambience, for the very elegant and beautiful
show by Pallavi Jaikishan one of the pioneers in the Indian fashion business
Opening the show in shades of blue, oyster, peach and pink,
Pallavi showcased clouds of tulle for dresses that gracefully ended in ghagras
with matching stoles covered in shimmering sequins, beads and pearls to add
that gentle gleam under the arc lights. Added to this section were a long lace
tunic with fluid pants and a shorter version with net shararas
Staying away from her trade mark flowers on the garments for
the garnet, oxblood and maroon story, Pallavi mesmerized the audience with her
lehengas and lehenga/saris. The delicate tulle and crepes were a delight with
tonal appliqués, embellished with passementerie and sequins. The embellishments
were created by master craftsmen as resham, sequins and crystals came together
in perfect harmony.
Paying tribute to the saris in all their grandeur, Pallavi
presented four versions for the fashion conscious bride.
Here was a blend of net, resham and sequins in feminine
shades of pastel peach, pink, which moved to apricot and tangerine for the
elegant saris. Here the sari was the centre of attraction as flowers cascaded
down on the borders and the interesting ruffled edges of the saris gave a
flirty touch to the traditional creation.
This line had timeless classic saris with sequins in
Pallavi’s favourite floral designs, aimed at a bride who wants a memorable
timeless heirloom for her dreamlike wedding. The embellishments were cleverly
positioned to create that magical ethereal look on the ramp for the saris.
For the temple saris, Pallavi added French tape in star and
moon designs to give the traditional Indian attire a very international look.
The vibrant yellow satin with graphic designs had encrusted borders that were
magnificent in their beauty and detailing. One of the stunners was the red hand
woven silk with the moon and star motifs adding to the beauty of the 6-yard
wonder.
Bringing in hand painting on French jacquard, georgette and
net, Pallavi had her favourite flowers splashed on the saris. Each piece a
labour of love, the saris gleamed under the ramp lights with sprinkles of
sequins. The giant roses with a gold weave running through them were truly a work
of art, while the Bandhani and floral mix gave the saris, with embroidered
borders an interesting appeal.
Keeping the best for the last to cater to the bridal
festivities, Pallavi’s final segment offered regal lehengas for the Mehendi,
Sangeet and Saat Pheras for destination weddings on the beach or at stunning
locales. The designer’s colour story of red, orange, shocking pink and pastels
was a perfect choice for trousseau wear. It was a magnificent end to the show
as lehengas encrusted with bunches of flowers and radiant roses along with
stylishly constructed cholis and sultry tulle dupattas dazzled the audience.
The final red bridal entry in georgette had the glitter of gold, silver and
crystals that mesmerised the audience with its glamour.
From Pallavi Jaikishan, the doyen of bridal wear fashion in
India this collection of varied styles and sections will be a delight for
brides who long for classic heirloom creations.
