Sanchita gets inspired by wild west at LFW
August 7th, 2012 - 1:15 am ICT by IANSMumbai, Aug 6 (IANS) Designer Sanchita Ajjampur displayed a wide range of casual resort wear for men and women that was inspired by the Wild, Wild West at the Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2012 Monday.
Edgy and wearable were the keywords for her latest menswear offering. The collection included jackets, long shirts and casual T-shirts.
“The men’s collection was inspired by the native American Indian. It has a wide range of hand crafted resort wear. A man should not look like he spends too much time thinking about what to wear. The clothes need to be understated and subdued,” Sanchita said.
The women’s wear consisted of a lot of metallic black, gold and chiffons with magnificent embellishment.
Sanchita described the women’s wear collection as the “Fire Bird” line.
“My collection is inspired by the legendary ballet called Fire Bird. It talks about the multiple aspects of a woman’s life,” the designer said.
The collection included a gorgeous range of cocktail dresses, gowns and miniskirts.
The designer said that though her collection has been made in India, it is “compatible with any place in the world”.
Bollywood celebrities Ira Dubey, Richa Chadha and Simon Singh were present at the show.
