COLLECTION NOTE: LAKME SUMMER/RESORT 2012 PLAY As a painter what excites me the most is the freedom to manipulate pigment. Simply orchestrating colour can give a canvas a pulse and bring a painting to life. My approach to clothing is much like my art. I treat the body as just another medium, a different type of canvas. Infused with a sense of play, the fabrics are layered in different textures and colour, within a framework that is constructed, draped, pleated, sometimes twisted and sometimes looped. Drawing from the works of abstractionists like Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman, they are dramatic yet minimal, with an attention to detail. The palette is illustrated with deep jewel tones, nuanced neutrals and fresh whites. Coupled with rich Indian handloom silks, natural linens and cottons it makes a collection of effortless separates that are stylish yet artfully negligent, with an inherently Indian soul. The silhouettes are fluid and long, yet they are neither masculine nor are they overtly feminine. They are made for the non-conformist dresser. Someone with a point of view and a need to express herself. And ultimately, someone who enjoys luxury but not at the expense of her comfort.
