THE BEST DRESSED
Rashmi
Gauri & Nainika are known for their sculptural silhouettes and fun, feminine pieces that make women feel beautiful, like this ruffled top. Rashmis pairing it with white jeans and a perspex clutch from celebrity loved brand Cult Gaia is clever dressing for Fashion Week.
Rishini
The theatrical ruffle detailing on the top of her fashionable all black ensemble adds visual interest as does her black and white striped Valentino Rockstud bag ( which I wish we could have seen more of). I like that Rishini has added edge to her look through her accessories, like her bag and cutout black pumps as well as her slicked back pony tail with a bump.
Chanika
“The pattern designed to help dangerous animals blend in [to their environments] was one that women used to stand out. And while women who wear Leopard print are not saying that they are predators, they sure aren’t prey. At a time when female sexuality, power and vulnerability have never been more talked about, there is a comfort in this subtle, subconscious subversion.” - The history of Leopard Print - Jo Weldon. The modest, high necked pussy bow style of the her shirt is offset by the sheer sleeves, slicked back hair, a pop of red lip, black net skirt and strappy sandals that don’t detract all combine for a high fashion look.
Shalin
Shalin is a man who is never underdressed. He is a genuine menswear icon and has become a quintessential part of the city’s style scene. Fusing classic style and timeless glamour, in this custom Envoy by Hameedia blazer, he is the epitome of sharp sophistication.
Ajai
A man who looks great and has been bang-on trend for 15-plus years, his look has embraced fluidity and fun in its sartorial expression. He always manages to convey his values of authenticity, professionalism and commitment.
