Day 1 BTFW: Designer Adaa Mallikk and Nivedita Saboo play with metal and geometry!

Dr Tvacha presented designer Adaa Mallikk and NIvedita Saboo on the first day of Bombay Times Fashion Week 2018. Held at St. Regis, the fashion week was attended by the who's who of glamour and fashion world.

Designer Adaa Mallikk presented her 'Knights Shining Armour' collection at BTFW. The collection celebrates womanhood who are self-sufficient, fun-loving and extrovert.

The designer used soft hues mixed with strong metal silhouettes. From voluminous to sculpted shapes, the ensembles were an inspiration from architectural shapes.

The colour palette started from soft shades and diffused into metallic to eventually darker tones coming alive.

Architectural shapes were taken as inspiration. "Having an eye for beauty and detail, the designs constructed are voluminous structures sculpted around the body forming delusive contradictions," shared Adaa Mallikk. The collection was aimed at transforming the concept of wearable metal.

The extravaganza saw music director Anu Malik, actor and anchor Manish Paul, actress Divya Khosla Kumar, and singer Darshan Raval walk the ramp for the designer.

Before going on the ramp, an excited Divya Khosla said, "I don't feel like I am going on the ramp. This outfit is so me. It is light and translucent and I already feel like it belongs to my wardrobe. All I need to do is remove the heels and get going in my sneakers."

The fabrics used were silk satin and metal fabric. Manipulation of line within the collection creates sensuous curves and angles to the body structure.

Designer Nivedita Saboo's collection was inspired by geometric patterns; combined with lots of shimmer and beads. Female models wore floral gowns with beads detailing, while men sported asymmetrical fit outfits.

Punjabi sensation Guru Randhawa and actress Urvashi Rautela sizzled the ramp in Saboo's dreamy ensemble. For designer Nivedita, it was double dose of excitement to have Guru Randhawa and Urvashi as the show stopper. She said, "The collection is inspired from the architectural and geometrical patterns for those who are confident enough to fill any space in the world. The pattern included distorted lines and patterns developed to compliment the fabrics that were developed in different parts of the country. The collection was dominated by the shades of grey, blue, emerald, ivory and burgundy."
