StaffWhen you come across a collection named “The Romance of the Rose”— An Affair to Remember, you can expect nothing less than an ethereal glimpse into the upcoming season’s fashion trends. At the Lakmé Fashion Week in collaboration with FDCI, Kaveri remained loyal to the allure of linen, a material cherished by the brand.
Unveiling the Sublime: Sakshi Sindwani Sets the Tone
Sakshi Sindwani, the renowned content creator, set the stage for the Kaveri show as she gracefully glided down the runway in a layered off-white ensemble. This attire exuded fluidity and femininity, accentuated with just the right amount of embellishment.
A Masterpiece of Craftsmanship: The Kaveri Collection
Kaveri showcased its mastery of handcrafted finesse, a reputation the brand is widely acclaimed for. The collection seamlessly transformed sculpted linen and luxurious silk into a line of ensembles adorned with the delicate imprints of the beautiful rose. The blank, linen canvas served as the perfect backdrop for Kaveri’s creative prowess, where colours transitioned gracefully from pretty pastels to warm, inviting hues that would captivate fashion enthusiasts.
A Palette of Elegance: Playing with Colors
In a delightful play of colours that matched the ethereal essence of the collection, Kaveri opted for light and dark sage, natural blush, and then introduced mauve and off-white. The fine linen and silk ensembles were adorned with intricate surface techniques, creating a delicate aura around the sculpted, resplendent fabrics, truly offering wearable art.
Crafting Timeless Beauty
Bouquets of rosettes and leaves introduced a serene quality to the apparel, while delicate needlepoint lace recreated a sense of timeless beauty. Among the opulent techniques, wire craft stood out—a meticulous process of weaving linen strings and heat-pressing them with sheet metal, resulting in intricate designs. Hand-cut linen was transformed into printed roses and embellished with exquisite pearls. The watercolour translucent embroidery added a harmonious touch to the fine linen, showcasing the meticulous handwork.
Perfecting Silhouettes
The collection featured varying silhouettes, all layered to perfection, elegantly strutting down the runway on well-styled models. Luxurious, panelled skirts were paired with short and long-sleeved vintage-style jackets, while a pair of relaxed trousers paired creatively with embellished cropped blouses. A stunning, sheer robe layered over a long-sleeved midi dress brought a formal element to the collection. The kurta with a scalloped hemline, slim pants, and sheer dupatta offered the popular Indian trio an almost fusion appeal. The artistically designed midi, once again with a scalloped hemline and intricately embellished bodice, brought the romance of the rose theme to the forefront.
Elegance Redefined
“The Romance of the Rose” collection by Kaveri presents a profusion of elegant, feminine fashion with a vintage touch. This collection is set to create a captivating style narrative for discerning buyers.
Designer Kaveri shared her vision, stating, “We continuously strive to innovate with the most sustainable of fabrics, linen, and present collections that are both unique and luxurious while preserving the fabric’s essence. ‘The Romance of the Rose,’ our latest collection, pays tribute to the beautiful and omnipresent rose, with its myriad interpretations. It is presented with the utmost handcraft and embellishments. Lakmé Fashion Week X FDCI provided us with an excellent platform to unveil our collection, known for curating the best designers and creative talent and recognized for influencing design trends.”
