Ok I haven’t even finished with posting my favourite collections from WIFW and here I am adding a Lakme Fashion Week post…oh well! what can I say I just had to share these gorgeous look book pics. Payal’s S/s 13 collection like many of the collections that have been shown in the last two weeks have been devoid of heavy embellishment and its pretty jacquards in cottons, silks and gttes that are adding richness and opulence to the collection. The silhouettes have also been simplified and there’s a relaxed flow to the garments that translate into a understated luxe vibe.
This S/s 13 Taj collection has been inspired by Ancient Islamic architecture and the traditional patterns of floral, jaali and filgree work is seen in the fabrics and minimal embellishment.
Love the refined colour palette of ochre, navy, ivory, earthy reds and matt golds/silver
It’s a beautiful collection with a quiet elegance which seems like the new mood in Indian fashion right now.

this is a bit different to her usual style- which I adore! very interesting though, a more traditional this time around, don’t you think?
I like the change of direction she’s taken, its far more refined and the silhouettes are much more flattering than her last collection. I think this collection will appeal to a wider audience.
Very nice and amazing collection. Totally different that her usual stuff.
