Fashion fix-Set for summer

Set for summer
»This summer, opt for a cool way to dress your kids. Fabindia has launched an exciting range of 100% organic cotton clothing for infants. The special range offers basic bodysuits, jhablas, shorts set, legging set, bright coloured frocks, cosy night suits and smart casuals. The design and pattern of the collection is carefully crafted keeping Indian patterns in minds.

With the temperatures soaring this summer, dressing kids in organic cotton wear is one of the ways to shield their sensitive skins from the harmful effects of the sun. The organic cotton collection also has tender mushy toys for the infants. In addition to this, the brand also has an attractive Summer Lights Collection for all age groups to beat the heat this summer. These are available in retail outlets as well as on www.fabindia.com

Ethnic essence
»The maiden collection of the New Delhi-based brand Vvani by Vani Vats is inspired by various old hand-embroidery techniques of zardozi and aari, intricate geometric patterns, Islamic tessellation architecture and anything beautiful around her. Vani has employed the playful chemistry of old techniques of surface texturing using new materials and innovative designs. The opulent designs look delicate and feminine, but make a strong style statement.

The collection is a perfect blend of Indian traditional techniques with modern styling to keep the essence intact. With people losing faith in Indian handicrafts and the cultural fabric of the country going for a toss this attempt seems to give a breath of fresh air to Indian ethnic wear.  The collection is elegant, feminine and makes an impact. Even the simplest of silhouette makes one feel special due to intricate detailing in each product. Simple straight shapes, long lengths and addition of huge flairs have also been used dynamically.

Handcrafted beauties
»Continuing their passion for colour, Rungg’s latest collection this season brings handcrafted beauty in shades of pink, summery bright yellow, playful green, soothing blues and the classic gold. Think rich embroidered Indian art with a flare of the modern present to create timeless designs which have life far past the current trend.

‘Rainbow Orb’ draws inspiration from the traditional Kutch embroidery of Gujarat. Each multicoloured orb, hand-embroidered to perfection, has been crafted on smooth blue suede. Each tassel on each shoe has been hand-sewn, embroidered and tied with love by the women artisans at Adharshila, an organisation in New Delhi that works towards empowering the weaker sections of society. Brighten everything from colourful outfits to casual denims with this playful pair and design from the collection available at www.runggshoes.com
