Shahin Mannan Collection "Fernweh"at Lakmé Fashion Week Summer Resort 2020 (LFWSR20)

Shahin Mannan offered a perfect travel worthy wardrobe at Lakmé Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2020

When summer is round the corner, it is time for that global holiday that needs a wardrobe that is versatile and trendy. Shahin Mannan’s “Fernweh” (meaning ‘longing for far off places’ in German) was a perfect travel worthy offering at Lakmé Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2020. Merging the beauty of Indian crafts with western sensibilities, Shahin emphasised the prefect art of great pattern making for the silhouettes.

Keeping the trials and tribulations of global travel in mind, the designer unveiled a line of great anti fit coatdresses, some regal long, sleeveless jackets, teamed with slinky fitted jersey dresses and then finished off the line with practical denim jackets and versatile pencil skirts. Shahin’s colour story for Summer/Resort 2020 started from flashy orange and sober navy, which were her favourites then moved to hot mustard, muted sage green, delicate sky blue and ended with pristine white. Fabrics were selected with care keeping maximum wearable options in mind. Jersey was an apt choice, while gabardine was ideal and had the crisp effect for coats.

   

An eye-catcher was the map motifs, long, sleeveless, jacket that created the effect with intricate hand embroidery and chains as an additional attraction, so it was apparent, the look offered an interesting take on fashion. A sage and navy, belted, fitted, mini under it, ensured that the layering was done with the intention of some mix and match options. The paper bag waist pants were highlighted with white embellishments and when teamed with a pale blue organza blouse embroidered with an impressive bird motif the combo was refreshing.

Some more interesting entries included a black embroidered double-breasted jacket over a net layered skirt, the very striking wide lapelled coat, denim shorts with an embellished denim shirt and an eye-catching pair of navy pants with a navy/red blouse. The pencil skirt with postal stamp print had a trendy look, while the double-layered red/navy version was unconventional. Men’s wear was restricted to just four entries comprising denim shorts, biker’s jacket, grey embellished suit, red bomber jacket with matching Bermudas and a black overtly ornate suit with white shirt.

Closing the show was the very petite and stylish, Soha Ali Khan who strutted down the runway in a navy, flared, skirt and corset both profusely embroidered with travel motifs.

When men and women who long for “Fernweh” that will take them on happy, enjoyable journeys, Shahin Mannan’s collection had everything that will fit perfectly in a travel bag to turn the globe trotter into a trend setting fashionista.

Mithali Raj said, “The collaboration with Corcal Bone & Beauty is synonymous with my own belief of Beautifully Strong women. When you are strong and healthy on the inside, it reflects on the outside and shows your confidence. Being a sportsperson I focus a lot on my health. Payal’s ensemble was so comfortable and that is my style statement . I also loved the colours which also reflect Corcal bone & beauty brand colours.”

 Designer Payal Singhal Collaborated  with Corcal bone & Beauty for its #Beautifullystrong initiative where Corcal Bone & Beauty aimed to highlight and create awareness about the link between inner health and outer beauty in women. This year, Corcal Bone & Beauty celebrated all beautifully strong women with its #beautifullystrongatlfw contest. 5 lucky Indian women over the age of 30 got a chance to walk the ramp for designer Payal Singhal’s Spring Summer Collection at Lakmé Fashion Week.

Payal Singhal unveiled her SR 2020 Collection titled ‘Parvaneh’ (Persian for ‘Butterfly’) at Lakmé  Fashion Week in association with Corcal Bone & Beauty, applauding the free-spirited wanderer as she sets off on her quest through life to be #BeautifullyStrong.  Inspired by ‘Chrysalis’, the transitional state as a caterpillar blossoming into a butterfly, the collection expresses modernism through the language of traditional Indian art.

Bandhani, abla, ikat, kantha, kashida and gota patti were revisited with a cool present-day approach, to create an overall aesthetic that is very India modern and for the new age woman. There was an introduction of functional clothing like cross body dupatta bags and Indian athleisure. The silhouettes are also a crossover between the old and the new, while staying true to signature Payal Singhalcuts. Cue, modernised trousers, layered shararas, dhoti salwars, low crotch pants and churidaars with an ’80s bent. These have been teamed with short jackets in georgette, Chanderi and organza in a colour palette than spans across classic black and white punctuated with grey, rose pink, powder blue and turmeric yellow.

“I thank Corcal bone & beauty for bringing Mithali Raj as a showstopper for my show. To me she truly defines #beautifullystrong and is a role model to Indian women who should know that they can have it all! As a brand and a designer for modern Indian women, we always collaborate and support women achievers, women who balance so many responsibilities and inspire other women. Having Mithali Raj for the show this season with Corcal Bone and Beauty is the perfect collaboration” said Payal Singhal
