Style pile: The wildest designer wardrobes


Boho babe

Fashion guru Ritu Kumar's spring-summer collection is a must-pick for the hippest heiresses of Hippiedom. Full length maxis, shifts and spaghettis, tops, tunics, skirts and long dresses are what you can stock up on, to ooze oomph. What makes it hot is the cultural mish-mashu00a0bold, brightu00a0 embroideries from the Maasai tribes in East Africa meetu00a0 traditional Bengali Sari weaves, the mainstay being the tribal connection. Beads, sequences and shells add that sexy spunk. Teal blues and brick reds team up with minimal work but prints take the cake. The collection is further divided into lines like solids, stripes and prints.
