Payal Jain |
The Payal Jain show featured in the second part of day one of the Lakme India Fashion Week on April 27, 2004:
A mix of masculine and feminine influences marked Payal Jain’s debut prêt collection – Ado. She worked largely with the classic red, white and black colour combination in eclectic fabrics like Scottish tartans, mesh, tweeds, faux fur, faux leather and even corduroy, creating edgy club-wear with these fabrics by embellishing them with metal trims and accessories. Silver metal eyelets in varying sizes, zippers, buckles and studs were used effectively and evoked memories of London’s punks in the 1970’s.
Her collection was a mix of very wearable separates like pleated miniskirts, pants, bomber jackets, boiler suits, and bustiers, all of which were very young, fit and sexy. The theme was carried forth in another colour-way which used green/ black and white instead.
An unexpected but truly delightful turn to this line was the eskimo inspired collection in chic whites and ivories. There was a creative use of knits like waffles, meshes and ribs with wovens, and was embellished with funky silver eyelets. Pants, one-piece tunic dresses, skirts and blouses were part of the range.
A great mix of the hot and the cool!
