Krishna Mehta’s latest collection at AIFW SS17 was a vibrant one that showed off traditional silk draping styles. But did the silhouettes impress us?
Review | Collection
But despite the nostalgic theme, the looks failed to come across as wearable, and lacked the element of luxury. The usual complaint we have with runway fashion is that it looks good only on the runway. But Krishna Mehta went one step ahead to create a collection that didn’t look good even on the runway.
Some of the silhouettes were waistless, and some high-waisted. The drape does nothing to flatter a woman’s body and looks too colorful even for festive wear.
