Day 3: the best of Amazon India Fashion Week Autumn Winter 2016

The third day of Amazon India Fashion Week AW’16 was rather unique giving us many menswear sighting and yes, we were thrilled. Budding designers like Ujjawal Dubey, Divyam Mehta, Rohit Kamra along with established names like Ashish N Soni, Rohit Bal, Rohit Gandhi & Rahul Khanna, JJ Valaya, Abhishek Gupta, Rajesh Pratap Singh, Troy Costa and Varun Bahl showered their love for menswear on the runway. Take a look at the highlights.

While Antar Agni by designer Ujjawal Dubey stuck to minimalistic fashion with dhoti pants, kurtas and long waistcoats in earthy tones; designer Divyam Mehta’s lineup comprised bandhgalas, double-breasted suits and quilted jackets with a hint of embroidery.

Designer Rohit Kamra’s collection ‘Made in Jaypore’ revived royal Indian menswear in a modern way on the runway and stealing the limelight for the collection was the B-town heartthrob Randeep Hooda.

Designer Anupama Dayal’s label Anupamaa showcased a line inspired by the different Naga tribes complete with tribal headgears and accessories. Stripes, tribal, horse and elephant prints and lot of layering in fabrics like khadi, cotton and silk made the collection stand out.

Designer Sanchita’s collection was the perfect mix of glam and grunge rock with models donning platinum locks, sporty silhouettes and disco sequins. The bomber jackets and the sequined skirts made for our favorite picks from the lineup.

Very unlike their usual aesthetics, designer duo Pankaj and Nidhi presented a military-inspired line possibly giving us the best show of the third day. Structured skirts, crop tops, embellished military jackets, fringes and scallops complete with the right bags and hats finished the brilliantly executed collection.

Concluding the day was a menswear show with a one of a kind mix of designers putting their best designs together on the runway.
