Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week SS'12 - MALINI RAMANI

While Gauri and Nainika's collection was so completely centered on the forties theme that the pieces were all almost the same, the Malini Ramani show seemed to have no particular theme at all. The show started with black, blue and white tie-die pieces with cowboy-style fringe detailing, flowing gypsy dresses and skirts and colorful pieces with mirror work and segued into pieces in neon greens, pinks and yellows - it seemed like a series of garments had been picked at random and sent down the runway. There was nothing holding the show together, nothing that pulled all the pieces together and made the show distinct from the sea of others. 

The fringed dresses in neon colors were interesting but the pieces with colorful mirror work on off white bases were a little too ostentatious for my liking. The tie-die chiffon maxi dresses however, were gorgeous and the slight slight sequin work on them was perfection.
