Lakme Fashion Week 2018: A look into Tarun Tahiliani's show

The core inspiration appeared to be the celestial universe and its constellations of stars that twinkled in a wide array of colours and glittered on the garments to enchant the audience. Chantilly lace, Chanderi, cotton, georgette, crape and Italian tulle were enhanced with bead and Resham work, as well as the sparkle of crystals and sequins.

Detailing like lattice work, hand painting and digital textile printing added to the layers of flowing fluid shapes brought forth by celestial hues.The collection in sheer and solid fabrics offered saris, kurtas, dresses, shirts, lehenga-skirts, jackets in shades of ivory, beige, blush, aubergine, red and midnight blue.

The blue draped skirts with cropped tops, jumpsuits, kaftans, knee-length shifts, luxurious Pheran inspired kurtas and one-shoulder sari-gowns were feminine fluid offerings. The black collection was a dream with visions of glamorous creations with gold embellishments and gave the line unbelievable drama. Men's wear line had pastel hues of ivory, pale beige and deep blue in luxurious fabrics. The designs included Jodhpuri jackets, kurtas, bundies, dhotis and sherwanis, some with tonal embroidery.
