The palette cleverly carries fresh colours like hot pink to the fore in direct contrast to the sultry weather. The designer is a big one for experimentation pushing everything common and conventional to the back benches. She plays with colours, cuts and various wraps, using different techniques in tailoring in her skirts. If you're into a swinging new groove this summer, head straight for this one.

 

J.J. Valaya

An elegant exchange of ideas between western finesse and eastern extravagance, Valaya's collection tries to imbibe gentle beauty in its essence. His garments are created using different mediums. The silk collection is a reflection of colour with immense block printing and sequins, while his chiffons are embellished with serpentine resham work. One does not need to mention the Swarovski transfer motifs that adorn his clothes this summer highlighting traditional forms of embroidery. A must-see collection for any clothes connoisseur.

The glimmer of hue and the simplicity of drape -- in short a lethal combination. This light and bouncy collection is meant for those who are geared for life and looking to hit the high note.
