Shantanu Goenka's "Kruhun" Collection at LFW W/F 2013

"Kruhun" means black in Kashmiri and Shantanu Goenka's glamorous medley in black and gold cast a magical spell on the audience at Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2013. Embellishments took centre stage when Shantanu revealed the beauty of sequined sheeting, delicate zardosi and beautiful Kashmiri Tilla work. Added to these crafts was laser cut appliqués, textured brocades, great sequined cut-work and gorgeous velvets. Presenting a stunning collection of men's and women's wear inspired by ancient India, Persia and Middle East, the silhouettes for women's wear offered flowing Anarkalis, asymmetric jackets, Farsi pajamas and sensational embroidered saris. The men's wear collection had sheer chogas teamed with fluid pajamas, Jodhpuris and waistcoats. Asymmetric hemlines added a masculine flare to the ensembles as embroidered yokes and harem pants made ethnic male sartorial statements. Animal prints appeared on velvet garments and angarkhas bringing forth a royal touch to the look.
