As passe as one might consider peplums, the recently concluded PCJ Couture Week in New Delhi was replete with major style variations of this element. Redefined with the usual extravagance associated with what one might call couture in the country, designers incorporated it into Indian wear even.
Ritu Beri exaggerated the peplum silhouettes and how in a collection called Punjabi Rock' and Roll. In times when master crafters are moving away from excesses on to more structured and astute high fashion, do you think this collection that seems like a menagerie of too many things sits well? Then again, ain't Punjab always about a bit of extravagance :D? Christian Dior 2008 anyone?

In a collection worked around the headiness of opium in tones of champagne and gold, the Sabyasachi peplums were kept plain complimenting the beauty of the rest.

Then we had Varun Bahl who did a classy version, Anamika Khanna who
brought out a rustic ivory demeanour, and Manish Arora who funked it up!
