It is a collection that is inspired by the 60s and 70s
Woodstock era
of fashion when freedom, peace and music expression defined the lives of
people. For designer Asmita Marwa her “La Vie En Rose” line is perfect resort
holiday wear for men and women.
“I see life through rose tinted glasses so using the
colours of the 60s and 70s there is a kaleidoscope of bright hues with lots of
deep tones for both the men's and women's creations. This time it is silk that
I am concentrating on tough usually I do a lot of cotton. The styling is very
simple and classic with an emphasis on batik that makes a style statement.
There are a couple of saris that are draped differently, but mostly it is
western wear with an Indian touch which is not dressy but the prints and batiks
are very interesting. The size of the motifs is large and the way they merge
with the colour tones makes all the difference.”
Asmita has fairly structured silhouettes but there is
a lot of fluidity in the cropped pants, tunics, shirts and she has added a few
feathers for collars that create the hippy chic era look. Men's shirts follow
the batik story in pink, blue and green with lots of black. The detailing is
restricted to raw edges which appear for collars and hemlines and the
interesting addition is press buttons, which are the highlight of the
collection. “I have not used any button holes for any garments though there is
a lot of pleating, pin tucks, one-shoulder or off-shoulder silhouettes which
look great for resort wear.”
For some romantic beautiful creations that will appeal
to both men and women then Asmita Marwa has the best offering.
