Black and white is back, but this time with a zing of red! Designers Rahul Mishra and Nikita Tandon among others use this high contrast colour scheme to make a bold statement on the runway.

The Coat gets not one, but many new spins this winter with some edgy details and interesting constructions. Sonia Sarin showcased an ivory brocade high neck coat with metallic buttons. Atsu’s sleeveless dinner jacket with its large lapels is instantly chic and powerful. Finally, Anand Kabra uses a shawl collar on a white organza coat, cinched at the waist with a smart belt.

This winter, Indian textiles meet Western silhouettes, as seen in the collections of Ritu Kumar, Zubair Kirmani, Neeru Kumat and Aneeth Arora. A new aesthetic can be seen here, along with a new design sensibility, which makes this fashion forward trend my favorite.
