MAGNUM PRESENTED THE DELECTABLE MONISHA JAISING FASHION EXTRAVAGANZA AT LAKMÉ FASHION WEEK SUMMER/RESORT 2016
Inspired by the delectable tempting trademark hues – 70's browns and harvest gold of Magnum, Monisha Jaising's 'Luxe Resort' collection at Lakmé Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2016 was a that every pleasure seeker would want to add to her menu of ensembles.
Monisha dreamt up a delicious offering in tempting shades like black iris, white chocolate, freesia, yellow vista, blue and ultramarine green. Colour blocking played an important role in this sumptuous line-up of fashion and style.
The collection celebrated every aspect and characteristics that make women who they are. Magnum and the Monisha Jaising Label shared a real commitment to craftsmanship and the show was a decadent creation that took audiences visual and tactile plane. Each of the ensembles personifies the signature Magnum elements – from its rich Belgian chocolate brown drapes swirled with pristine vanilla, to the distinctive crack that carefully contour the silhouettes alongside the glistening and bold golden hues.
Designed for a true Pleasure Seeker, the Magnum and Monisha Jaising woman is confident, flirty, spontaneous, proactive, dramatic, and someone with an element of mystique. Through this collection, Monisha aimed to give women the power to alter and enhance every day experiences and make time for more personal pleasure.
The collection gave distressed skinny jeans as well as the flared version an interesting design direction with badla embellishments and silken thread that was accentuated with the intricately crafted Moghul flower.
Bringing a variety of style options to the discerning woman; Monisha added sequinned sheeting to the 70's sporty tennis sweater. More active wear options from the designer, had sporty stripes in gross grain and sequins that were patched with blocked colours for the relaxed silhouettes.
Creating illusionary prints in surface ornamentation, Monisha played with ikat and gave it new dimension with bleeding sequinned sheeting and swinging fringes.
Luxury has been a perennial part of every Monisha Jaising collection but this time it was the Distinctive Crack – that signifies the ultimate Magnum Moment to people – which the designer brought to centre stage with luxurious wool crépe, combined with handwoven reflective graphic crochet and macramé that appeared in unison for several creations and gave the crafts a contemporary appeal.
When it came to evening glamour, Monisha Jaising is undoubtedly the 'Queen of Red Carpet' impact. Luxe light as feather lamé, micro pleated metallic satin and sensuous silk, once again followed the Magnum colours to recreate glamorous days of the 70's. Ombré hand woven cotton was splashed with sequins and bugle bead fringes onto the ever popular shift dresses.
Stopping the show was the stunning Lisa Haydon who brought a vivacious energy to the ramp as she glided down in a heavy duty, all-over textured "Rockstar" gown, completely hand embroidered with multiple gold metal elements. Adding movement was the rich gold fringing, which bleeds from the texture with strategic star shape cut-outs that added fun to the couture piece, revealing just enough! Known for her embroidery and beading, Jaising puts her detailing expertise to rendering a constellation of stars in complete mod-style; whereby the wearable work of art looked more engineered than sewn. What added to the galm quotient, was the elegantly embellished signature Magnum clutch inspired by the premium ice-cream brand's 'Classic' variant that completed Lisa's look.
Monisha Jaising's 'Luxe Resort 2016' was an ultra-stylish Magnum inspired fashion offering to the dramatic, proactive, yet mystical pleasure seeking 'Monisha Jaising Woman' who aims for timeless sophistication with her distinct individual sartorial touches.
