Prada Summer Spring 2010 Collection: A Review

Miuccia Prada, the name is a brand in itself. Known for her innovative and inspiring ideas, Prada always offers a collection class apart. For Spring Summer 2010, Prada for once went in for no fuss, sleek and simple designs. This “business to beach” collection had a crisp chicness to it. The hemlines for the dresses were short and the silk fabric was unfinished at the edges. On the textile front an aesthetic amalgamation of traditional and new textiles could be seen while crystal and PVC were used generously for the accessories. The overall looks had a subtle futuristic appeal to it.

Presenting you some of the looks from Prada Summer Spring 2010 collection:

Manish Malhotra collection at LIFW: A Review

Bollywood charmer Manish Malhotra showcased his beautiful collection at the Lakmé Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2010. This time his collection had an Indian flavor with bundgala, anarkalis and kurtas dominating the ramp.Single shoulder kurtas sans dupattas with luxurious layering found favor amongst the audience besides, the transparent anarkali kurtas were indeed found extremely sexy.






The color palette of the collection was focused on pastel colors with elaborate shadings while for the fabric, Net was extensively used as the base for dhoti pants, long floor length robes for bikinis and transparent anarkali kurtas.Fashion accessories were kept minimal with an occasional usage of long pearl strings and bags with a couple of dresses.






The 'net over prints' amongst the women fashion clothing was a highly praised concept as it brought about the oomph factor and set the mercury meter high with the hot and sexy collection.





On the men's section, Manish exclusively concentrated on the traditional Indian 'bundgala' to paint his creativity. The bundgala jackets were done craftily with a number of collars and closures. A variety of pockets and plackets, piping edged collars, one to three button closures were used to bring out the contemporary essence in every ensemble.
