Puja Arya: Fall 2008 India Fashion Week
Piyali Bhattacharya
March 17th, 2008 @ 00:54 AM - New Delhi
Guzel, the Turkish word for "beautiful" was the name of Puja Arya's fall 2008 collection at India Fashion Week on Sunday. An appropriate name for the collection, as it took its main inspirations from Turkish patterns, fabrics and design.
Models swished down the runway in an array of light chiffons and cottons. Though the collection was for fall and winter, the outfits were obviously meant for Mediterranean wear. Short dresses with large yoked necks were one theme of the show. Cotton off-white fabrics embroidered or printed with large, black flowers were predominant. Babydoll dresses with flounced skirts were also a favorite on the runway. The color palette for these was turquoise blues mixed with creams and blacks.
A few long, chiffon dresses were also in vogue, a particular favorite being an airy green dress with a wide black belt. Another range of items came in a burnt orange color with all-over gold printing or embroidery. Once again, predominantly dresses, though these were also mixed with pant suits.
Of her clothes, Arya said "The collection is inspired by the Turkish embroidery which is very rich. It is done on a wall hanging kind of floor covering. The block printing is taken from there."
Arya's gorgeous collection made everyone in the audience want to take a trip to Turkey during the early autumn months. The abstract motifs set against contrasting rich tones and hues in a variety of fabrics were reminiscent of a Turkish sunset.
