Preeti Chandra

Detail-oriented, creative use of colours and surface texturisation are perfect words to describe her collection in one line.

She played well with the fabrics and gave a lot of emphasis on detailing. Wide legged pants were teamed with long jackets and chic trench coats. Kurtas were given a very contemporary look to suit the modern urban city. There was an emphasis on exaggerated and padded shoulders. The collection also included a lot of flowing tunics and shift dresses.

The base fabrics included wool, tweed and silks which were dipped in muted tones of olive green, browns and greys. All her garments had surface ornamentation of sequined embroidery, velvet patchwork, the traditional dabkaa work in silver. The embroidery and detailing were highlighted by electric hot colours like pink and purple.

Preeti Chandra has always focused on exquisite tailoring, structural silhouettes and timeless designs and this collection was no different. It was all about being sexy, strong, trendy and flattering.
