Designer Urvashi Joneja spellbind the audience with her 'Guarded collection'
@ first day of LAKME FASHION WEEK, WINTER/FESTIVE, 2014
Designer Urvashi Joneja
mesmerized the audience with her breath taking 'Guarded collection on
1st day of Lakme fashion week, Autumn/winter, 2014 . Her designs were
inspired by
the illusory bricks that we build around ourselves that keeps us
“Guarded” from
the unwanted happenings around us.
The Autumn/ Winter 2014 collection
“Guarded” took inspiration from fortresses and armour, literally and
symbolically. It explored the guard and the bricks that we put up
around us every day, in our lives and encounters. The collection depicted the story
of a girl who slowly builds a fortress around herself. The collection portrayed
real-life situations & emotions like deception through print, toil through
braiding, comfort through drapes and strength through structure.
Commenting on the same, Urvashi says
“I love working on innovative concepts and this time my collection was entirely unique & different.
For my 'Guarded' collection I used various versions of repetitive
geometric prints in monochrome and shades of red, burnt orange and
purple against black, with gold as an accent. I am so overwhelmed
with response I have been receiving after the show. I am definitely
looking forward to coming seasons of Lakme."
The distorted prints, drapes and
cording contrast what is real versus what meets the eye. The collection also
explored various elements used in combat clothing and merged them seamlessly
into feminine and experimental silhouettes. . The primary fabrics used are
georgettes, crepes and raw silk, with faux leather accents. A balance of bonds,
fear and freedom, "Guarded"
is an eclectic twisted journey of one's soul.
