Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week SS'12 - ALPANA & NEERAJ

Alapana & Neeraj had a paradoxical collection with spider-like metal, and plastic structures over delicate, feminine chiffon and bandage pieces in soft shades of aqua, beige, baby pink, and greys. I preferred the first half which consisted of simple, ruched dresses, and draped gowns to the second half which had similar pieces but with added plastic overlays. What I really loved was their concept of clothes being like our modern day versions of protective shields. Designers often come with amazing concepts that sound good on paper but don't translate so well into reality but Alpana & Neeraj did an excellent job of turning their concept into a collection that was not only gorgeous but also brilliantly executed.
