BRAND NEW A SARTORIAL MELANGE Paresh Lamba’s ‘Sea Chic’ collection features vibrant digital prints on solid fabrics, exuding artisanal savoir faire. The collection consists of tropical prints that include hibiscuses, zebras, and toucans that playfully adorn rich satins, cottons, and georgettes, making them perfect for a party by the pool or some laughs over a brunch by the sea. The line features capes, shorts, shrugs, and trousers that boast comfortable fitting. With youth comes the freedom to embrace an ideal with reckless abandon, and with age comes a sense of looking from the outside in. Pieces from the collection embody this duality, provoking a constant evolution of the formal and informal codes that define menswear today. A meticulous pairing of striped jackets (featuring cuts and zipper detailing) with striped trousers, along with differently cut lapels, almost tickle every figment of imagination, making this the ideal wear for any occasion. WHERE TO BUY: Paresh Lamba Signature Couture Studios in Bengaluru and Hyderabad, and on azafashions.com PRICE POINTS: On request THE COUTURE STORY ‘Chantrealle’ by Ohaila Khan is inspired by the folds of the wild mushroom, its complexity and DWNSHB@TQ@ VGNRDOQDRDMBDRHFMHjDREDQSHKDRNHKR  The colour palette is inspired from the depths of mushroom forests—think pastel blush moving into deeper rose golds and reds, maroon offset against forest greens as well as jewel tones with sombre greys and blacks. Silk organza, tulle, and georgette with a mix of sheer and opaque elements form key fabrics of the collection. Chantrealle is imbued with a mix of European and Middle Eastern aesthetics, consisting of many tonal stories, appliqué-on-appliqué work, coupled with ribbon-fabric manipulation. At the same time, beading and hand-embellishments are used to fashion couture garments that are fit for both gala balls and weddings. Featuring a range of gowns, voluminous skirts, cascading capes, and sleeves, the collection is an exquisite coming-together of Eastern and Western design sensibilities.
