A Glance of the Spring Summer 2015 Preview
What was the element of innovation and uniqueness in the new found collection of Abu and Sandeep? Well, they played with subtle colours such as whites, beiges and neutrals. As for the fabrics, they largely used Kerala cottons and georgettes in casual, formal and occasion wear. The stamp of Abu-Sandeep creations was visible in their classic thread and resham embroideries, which made them all the more outstanding.
A closer look at this season’s collections of these reputed fashion designers revealed the opulence of colour used by them. What was equally captivating was the multi-colour appliqué and silk patti work, not to forget the trademark gold zari that was used in order to bring in glamour and drama into your summer wardrobe.
As for the ‘picks’, there were contemporary tunics and kaftans on one hand and traditional anarkalis and lehengas on the other. In short, there was something to taste the fashion sensibility of every woman and the occasion for which she needed the outfit for, be it casual or formal. In short, Abu-Sandeep made summers of 2015 look effortlessly stylish and tasteful.
