Krishna Mehta
One of the foremost names in ethereal fashion, Krishna Mehta's collection this spring is a quiet melange of simple lines and easy fabrics. Exquisite chiffon and georgette accompany linen and natural cotton, while aqua, turquoise green, yellow, amber and ochre form some of the most predominant hues. Pastels and abundant wisps of white of course complete the traditional Krishna Mehta signature. Designs are further embellished with gentle embroidery, pin tucks and innovative necklines. Some of the most noticeable features of the KM collection this season are shorter hemlines and linear silhouettes. Definitely worth a dekho for those tuned into the subtler aspects of style.
 

Ritu Kumar
She splashes into the summer with a new fashion statement, this time her own trademark, LABEL. Aimed to heighten the impetus of the woman of today, Ritu Kumar's summer collection launches itself through a pastiche of universal silhouettes, focussing on the feel of the garment all the way to it's cut colour and drape. Modern, yet inherently feminine, this blend of old world charm and the blatant modern unfettered spirit has everything from free flowing drapes to traditional black and white evening wear enhanced with Ikta weaves. The collection is also topped off with contemporary fabrics like denim, lycra and tencel mixes, while the colour palette sizzles with blazingly bright hues to keep the summery spirit alive and rocking. Don't miss this one for the world.





Oobe
The latest to hit the bandwagon of bubble gum fashion, Oobe has of course cultivated a quick niche for itself for city brat-packers. This season sees the brand hit new notes in everything from skirts, shorts, jeans and capris to a profusion of easy to wear tops each one garnished with a flavour of Oobe oomph setting them apart from the crowd. Blues, yellows, pinks and lilacs rule the fashion palette while blended lycra, twills, easygoing denims and polins govern the avant garde Oobe fabric flourish. A must see for any teen fashion fetishist. If you're looking to swing this season, Oobe's your mantra.

Ravi Bajaj
Linen, organza, georgette, chiffon and cotton form the essential fabrics to embody master designer Ravi Bajaj's summer collection this year. While last year saw a burst of stark black and white in RB's saree collection, this year sees the gentle nip of pink and blue pastels adorn the flowing attire to heighten traditionalism yet straying from the run-of-the-mill. Peach, lavender and yellow hit the fashion racks while cuts and silhouettes lend themselves to rich layers in trousers, tunics and skirts. Don't miss the geometric motifs and embroidery synonymous with RB style. There is also the sensual fitting dress for those looking to turn on the heat this summer.
