INIFD presents #GenNext featuring Jajaabor by Kanika Sachdeva’s ‘The Artful Lodger’ was inspired by various homestay stories from around the world. The collection is suitable for travels and showcases prints that reflect silhouettes of row houses. INIFD presents #GenNext featuring Yavi by Yadvi Agarwal’s collection where art meets fashion formed a new aesthetic in worn impressionism. Their hand-painted separates, printed silks and impressionist embroidery certainly grabbed eyeballs.
431-88 by Shweta Kapur’s ‘Collection 12’ was geared towards the spirit of being on the road. Her collection sported sombre hues, flowing silk folds, breezy cottons and technicolour bursts of embroidery inspired by the Great Barrier Reef.
Urvashi Joneja’s collection ‘Away’ was inspired by the imagery of flying away, and breaking through the glass ceiling. Graphics, meticulous pleating and raised textures came together with a gorgeous colour palette to complete her collection.
The ‘Bye Felicia’ collection by Chola dismissed the irrelevant and used the colour grey to represent the strength of coming out and being yourself. It reflected how Drag can be a creative outlet, and a way to make cultural statements.
For W/F’18 Amrich: digs deep into their understanding of traditions and cultures to draw inspiration for a collection of chic separates comprising of exquisite hand-made textiles.
Vrisa by Rahul N Shikha’s W/F’18 collection ‘Bukhara’ is a story of many hands that fill strong colors in Indian textiles demonstrated through delicate hand embroideries and comfortable silhouettes.

Taking inspiration from kimonos, the silhouettes are a combination of kurta & kimono, emphasising the desire to bridge Indian craft and Japanese aesthetic.
