The not-so-gloomy autumn wear
Priyanka Verma and Ravindra Mohan
The duo may not have used a variety in fabrics or colours, but the range was still a departure from the common wool-in-grey range. Stretch tweed and woollen dresses, texturised and graced with bright yellow and red embroidery at the centre or in the corners, and the clubbing of shiny, gift wrapping paper-like fabric, was how the monotony was broken. In-between a glossy fabric, emerged a stitched on woollen shrug sleeve, or a colour band brocade-like fabric shirt was teamed with grey leggings. It was interesting how they ingeniously played ping-pong with fabrics to create an illusion of patterns.

This duo played up the innocence
Kiran and Meghna
Baby flap collars, multi-layered ruffles and soft pinks and whites dominated with pleats that ran from the top of the dress to the end, this line was pleasantly chic. Soft woollen embroidery ran along the borders, or sometimes throughout the dress. The duo, with sheer dexterity, cracked monotony with a break in colours, along existing patterns. With polka dotted shirts and peasant sleeves, we revisited last season, without wondering why. 

I want Fern leaves on my dress too
Anand Bhushan
It is endearing how most of us take to the dotted leaf pattern (So what if it's omnipresent?), especially if it's embedded with silver applique that takes it away from its casual feel. Bhushan's range was predominantly in blue, white and indigo, and included A-cut dresses worn with cropped jackets.

Overalls never looked sexier
Harangad Singh
When a budding designer braves cuts and styles like his inspirer, the contest among new talent becomes unnerving. As Singh took on brown linen overalls like a pro, teaming them with lime green tank tops, it threw up a stunning sight. High-waisted beige linen wide pants were given a flap-like ruffle on the waistline, and plain grey A-cut dresses were accentuated with complex neck lines and throw-on jackets.
