When a fashion show wins a standing ovation and the audience walks out murmuring “wow”, “fabulous” and “stunning”, one could presume a designer requires no more validation. Critics, the fashion world and potential buyers can all, potentially, go take a hike –the public has decided.
But presumptions aside, designer duo Pankaj and Nidhi, who closed day three of Amazon India Fashion Week 2015 in New Delhi, are not playing renegade just yet. And if their latest collection is anything to go by, their eyes are set on a global horizon, where the pantsuit, in the most ethereal neutrals, has permanently found a home.
On the Pankaj and Nidhi ramp on March 27, the outfit reigned supreme. Titled “Rouge Minerale” the designers juxtaposed the feminine of the “rouge” – through a palette of what they call rubicund reds and arctic pink, along with carbon greys, sapphire blues and burnt sienna – with structures that echoed the masculinity of “minerals”.
Later, Pankaj said that the colours were really inspired by Indian masala and camomile chai.
What the husband-and-wife duo were drawing attention to was the “use of Indian crafts in a way that that can be worn everywhere, from Montreal to Mumbai and Morocco”, says Pankaj.
