Wills India Fashion Week Spring Summer 2015 Collection- My Top Picks!

Wills India Fashion Week Spring Summer 2015 Collection & Highlights

Hello Girlies,

The WIFW SS ’15 concluded a couple of weeks back and I was really excited to attend it. I miss the frenzy, excitement and all the stress of deciding what to wear every morning. The thing about fashion week is that company matters alot because you will up end spending quite a bit of time waiting between shows and ofcourse taking selfies. Luckily for me I had Anshita & Shreya for company and these girls are an absolute blast. Our personalities are quite similar and we always hit it off really well so they made fashion week all the more memorable.

The fashion week was kick started by Aneeth Arora’s Peru. The collection’s theme was floral which showed not just in the outfits but on the runway as well which was turned pretty much into a garden with saplings and flowers. It was aimed at the woman who would rather wear flowers in her hair than diamonds around her neck. I loved the sheer tops with lace detailing and the bright flower embroidery. The hand crochet blouses and the beaded top were the highlights for me.

Designer duo Alpana-Neeraj’s collection at WIFW 2015 was heavily influenced by the popular culture of “Kawaii” Lean structural details, sharp lines juxtaposed on softer curves and bows, large floral patches, waist sashes and tie-up elements all found their place. The attention grabbing headgear and bows on the dresses added an aura of fantasy and extravagance.

The last day of the fashion week and my 2 favorite designers showcased their collection. First up is Nida Mahmood– the queen of quirkiness. I have always stated that quirky doesn’t necessarily have to be ugly and her beautiful and bright collection along with some funky head gear proved it. Taking Irani Cafes as an inspiration and with models dashing down the runways with dubbas we were in for a colorful show with a “happy” vibe

The attention to detail and the exquisite designs surely made it a perfect end to the fashion week.
