With summer here, fashionistas are looking for comfortable outfits which will make them stand out in the crowd. Fabindia’s latest collection of colourful kurtis, palazzos, stoles, jumpsuits and accessories is just right for the season.
For the young urban woman
The collection ‘Fabels’ has relaxed silhouettes, checkered prints, abstract patterns and tailored outfits in white, black, navy blue, flamingo red, golden yellow and lilac.
Comprising classic western cuts, ‘Fabels’, is created to appeal to the young urban women, who are aware and responsive to global trends. The collection has structured jackets, waistcoats, trousers, shirts, skirts, palazzos, culottes, dresses and jumpsuits.”
According to the brand’s spokesperson, the cuts, colours and designs are
powerful influencers and render a certain character and personality to collection.
The key to a creating a unique collection, the brand says, is all these three
elements coming together beautifully and seamlessly to create a coherent look.
The collection has employed traditional craft techniques such as tie and dye, applique, embroidery, hand painting and mirror work. The thrust is on using traditional art and craft to give the garments a modern, contemporary look.
The brand has used the craft of ‘chikankari’ which is known for its intricacy and royal splendour. Floral motifs, ‘jaals’, diagonal patterns and layouts in different ‘chikankari’ stitches such as ‘tepchi’, ‘murri’ and ‘jaal’ are an incredible part of the collection. One can mix and match the clothes to get the best combination. And to enhance the looks, one can choose from a wide range of graphic jewellery and bags.
The range extends from earrings, neckpieces, cuffs, rings and bangles to tote and sling bags. The jewellery is made from materials such as silver, brass, wood and glass.
