LFW Winter/Festive 2012 | Swapnil Shinde's ultra chic collection

Published date : August 22, 2012

Inspired by Bollywood's horror films of the 50's and early 60's Swapnil Shinde presented an ultra-mod collection called "Frozen Fragility" to match the DHL theme 'Speed' at Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2012.To the strains of eerie music and an equally eerie display of laser lights the show opened with three draped gowns in red, black and white with wired wing-like shapes to depict the flying pallav of the heroine in a Bollywood horror movie.With silhouettes borrowed from the two eras, Swapnil had cinched waistlines, voluminous skirts, exaggerated sleeves and large prominent shoulder emphasis for the almost space age like creations but with a unique fragile delicate quality.Colours ranged from black and ivory to various shades of slate and steel blue, blood red and sunflower yellow. Using clever manipulations of the fabrics like folding, pleating and mixing structured shapes with fluidity; Swapnil created a fashionable treat for the audience. The white draped sari gown with gold belt, the draped organza bodice with long shirt, the shirt cum dress, the ribbed silk kimono sleeve version, the sari gown in steel blue and the yellow draped mini with wired wings fitted into the inspiration. The exaggerated wired brocade blouse with pleated skirt and the final three white, black and yellow long gowns with upright wired effects not only denoted speed but the free flowing drapes of garments.Blending his inspirations of Speed and Horror imaginatively, Swapnil Shinde's "Frozen Fragility" presented by DHL was a fashion happening.
