Caprese brought the “Hututi Summer”collection by Shivan & Narresh  with dynamic inputs to Lakmé Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2020

Shivan & Narresh, the expert resort and swimwear designers whose collections have created a fashionable impact in India as well as worldwide, once again brought an even more daring and dramatic version of their popular “Seoul Series” with the “Hututi Summer” Collection.

Their line for Lakmé Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2020 researched the heart, essence and charm of South Korea, which the designers have visited several times. The vibrant colours and beauty of the idyllic Korean Peninsula countryside with its picturesque gardens, flora, culture, history and architecture appeared in all its glorious colours on the garments. Balancing this, Shivan & Narresh were inspired by the cityscape where bursts of art, music, food and fashion of Seoul gave inspiration for more additions to their holiday line.

The colours were strong, solid ones as Rorange (mandarin orange), Kebia from the Korean Caviar, the Golden Gyum and the rosy Hibiscus for the local rose as well as Hyan an ivory and a deep ruby from the Omija Berry, created a great palette. The fabrics were a perfect mix of rich velvet, lace, great taffeta, sheer organza, foil and Italian jersey.The line up of maillots, bikinis and trikinis were amazingly sexy, while the power net maxi dress with macramé swimsuit and lace pants brought a fabulous look on the ramp. Jumpsuits appeared in lace or in an off-shoulder silhouette. The lace celebration skirt with cut out bustier brought unconventional beachwear style for the holiday maker or the destination wedding bride.

To cater to the ethnic dresser, the designers showcased two saris but with their resort wear touches. The organza Rorange sari was teamed with a bustier and the olive heavily pearl encrusted one was a perfect evening wear offering. The silhouettes moved from daring beach and swimwear options, to cool poolside soirée evening wear. Keeping the young globetrotting millennial in mind, the garments moved seamlessly from trendy everyday wear to opulent options of formal elegance that were ideal for great holiday wear.

Diana Penty the beautiful showstopper moved gracefully on the ramp, in an olive neoprene/lace, asymmetric fluted, structured, long skirt encrusted with shimmering embellishments worn with Lurex, foil and Lycra blend wrap blouse.

For an oriental fashion experience that caters to summer and resort wear options, Shivan & Narresh ensured that their “Hututi Summer” line presented by Caprese offered all the right creations for beachcombers.

The art of the Gond tribe was the inspiration behind Shivan& Narresh’s Koi Series Collection at LMIFW SS'19. The luxury holiday brand’s collection featured six new prints—Koi, Koi Coal, Mattie, Vann, Urvi and Iconotribe—that celebrate Gond art characterized by decorative motifs and patterns arranged through dots, dashes, lines and circles.

The Koi Series captures the finer nuances of Dravidian Gond art and coalesces it with chromatic inspiration from the bustling spice markets of Ottoman-era Turkey, each discovered by the designers on their recent travels.

The effortless amalgamation of these contrasting designs aesthetics, initiates the foundation for the new collection inspired by the universes of travel and art. The Gond art of Madhya Pradesh, an art form originated in the 19^th century, features paintings by the Gond or the eponymous Koi tribes of the geography, known for its meticulous detailing, color abundance and mystical artistic psyche, the art form is reflective of the relationship of man with nature, while turning to Hindu legends and mythologies for inspiration. Characterized through decorative motifs, the patterns arranged through dots, dashes, lines and circles are known to add ‘a sense of movement to the still image’. Jangarh Singh Shyam, the first Gond artist to use paper and canvas for his art, along with his wife Nankusia bai and two children, has exhibited his paintings across the globe, including Paris and japan.
