Ritu Kumar Panchvastra Collection Part-1

Panchvstra is a collection with a rare synthesis of fashion, craft and inspiration. The costumes have a rich feel, which emanate from India’s oldest and richest crafts researched over the last 45 years. What adds a new dimension to the collection is the contemporary yet aesthetically sound interpretation of the same idiom by Amrish Kumar. This takes the collection from vintage costume to an aspirational younger offering, giving it a rare synergy recreated for a newer generation,” said Ritu Kumar at the event.

Purity, seduction, swayamvar, exile and darkness were the predominant themes running through this eclectic collection. While the first mood, Purity was brought to life with hues of white and peach, bold and rich colours like burgundy emphasized Seduction. The Palace of Illusions segment was represented by an exquisite use of Swarovski crystals on embellished garments. Exile, the fourth sequence brought forth a mélange of colours with the use of orange, gold and fuschia.  In the last sequence, the vivid and beautiful dramatic pieces in black, gold and indigo signified Darkness.

Held on 2nd Feb at the The Aman, New Delhi in partnership with American Express, the show was a huge success as it employed the use of textile, theater, and film to convey the relevance of the characters across ages and cultures
